Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday has asked citizens to ignore rumour being circulated that he had withdrawn from the 2019 governorship race to pave way for the emergence of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Sanwo-Olu, is believed to be the anointed candidate of the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The incumbent governor gave the denial in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, described the news is untrue.
The statement reads, ” My attention has been drawn to a falsehood spreading across social media platforms on the endorsement of a candidate for the Lagos State Governorship position by His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
There is no iota of truth in the said statement and it did not emanate from the Governor or his office. We are not oblivious of the desperation of some misguided individuals who are hellbent on fanning the embers of discord within the Lagos APC.
The tremendous strides and infrastructural development embarked upon by H.E will be completed by him within the constitutional stipulated time.
