More Trouble For Ambode As 36 Lawmakers Back Sanwo-Olu Ahead Of Primary


Thirty six of the 40 members of the state House of Assembly have pulled their support behind the governorship ambition of Babajide Sanwo-Olu ahead of Sunday’s governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu is gunning for the governorship ticket of the party with the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.

A statement by Musbau Rasaq, media aide to the House Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, said the decision was taken after a parliamentary meeting held on Saturday.
The statement read in part, “After a parliamentary meeting held on September 29, 2018 at the Lagos State House of Assembly Complex, members do hereby unanimously resolve to support the position of the leadership of All Progressives Congress and the Governor’s Advisory Council in Lagos State on the endorsement of Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu as the APC gubernatorial candidate in the 2019 election.
“The meeting was attended by 36 out of the 40 honourable members in the House of Assembly.”
One of the governorship aspirants on the platform of the party in the state, Femi Hamzat, had earlier today withdrawn from the race and asked his supporters to vote for Sanwo-Olu.
