Lagos – Ebun Adegboruwa, a Lagos lawyer and human rights activist yesterday faulted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode over his disclosure that Mr. Jide Sanwo Olu, his main challenger in today’s APC primary election in the Lagos, is mentally ill.
He told Daily Independent that no sitting governor has the right to disclose the health status of his subordinate, in an attempt to assert his own right to contest an election.
He said there was no endorsement for the utterances of Governor Ambode at his world press conference yesterday, adding that there is still room for a negotiated settlement of all the issues surrounding the APC Governorship primary election in Lagos State.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the APC, Sheriff Balogun has thrown his weight behind Ambode, saying he is the best option.
Balogun, former Sole Administrator of Sururele Local Government Area, also dismissed the endorsement of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“The people here are for the governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode. We walked from Maryland to Freedom Park. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will win APC gubernatorial primary tomorrow. What happened at the Lagos State APC Secretariat on Saturday and what is happening here can tell Nigerians that Ambode has the support of APC members.”
Balogun said at Freedom Park.
He advised APC members to be steadfast. “The people here are APC faithful. They want to vote Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday. They should also stand their ground. No one should be intimidated. The members should be free to vote whoever they want on Monday” he said.
