Meanwhile, Governor Ambode’s quest to be re-elected as Lagos State Governor for a second term may be facing some major obstacle as over 50 council chairmen loyal to Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Ambode’s estranged godfather met and pledged their support for Jide Sanyaolu Sanwonolu, who is believed to be Tinubu’s preferred choice.
