The
Lagos chapter of the APC is mounting pressure on Gov Ambode to endorse his
challenger Sanwoolu or risk being disgraced at the primary election.
Key
stakeholders of the governing APC in Lagos are mounting enormous pressure on
Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to drop out of the governorship race, endorse
Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu as the party’s flagbearer ahead of the 2019 general poll,
or risk disgrace at the primary election.
Ambode
has fallen out of favour with APC godfather Bola Ahmed Tinubu and chieftains of
the party in Lagos.
Sanwoolu,
who served as Commissioner in the Tinubu and Babatunde Raji Fashola
administrations respectively, has emerged favorite to nick the Lagos APC
governorship ticket at the primary exercise slated for Saturday, September 29,
2018.
“We
have told him (Ambode) to endorse Sanwoolu now that there is still time or be
disgraced during the primary election. It’s his choice to make at the moment.
If he doesn't step aside, he may come third at the end of the primary behind
Obafemi Hamzat", a chieftain of Lagos APC told Pulse on condition of
anonymity.
