Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, has denied reports that he has withdrawn from the 2019 governorship
race.
Reports had on Wednesday emerged
on social media that the governor had stepped down from the 2019 gubernatorial
race and had endorsed Jide Sanwoolu as the governorship candidate for APC.
But reacting, Ambode in a
statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna said such reports
making the rounds were mere propaganda by mischief makers.
The statement reads, ” My
attention has been drawn to the 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.”
