Lagos 2019: Ambode accuses Sanwo-Olu of being a drug addict in fiery press conference
Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode in a press conference moments ago declared his refusal to step down for Jide Sanwo-Olu, a last-minute contender that has been touted as his replacement.
Mr Ambode revealed that Sanwo-Olu has been arrested in the United States before and is unfit to lead, adding that he also has undergone mental rehabilitation at a Lagos general hospital.
“I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor. This particular aspirant is somebody that has been arrested for spending fake dollars in a nightclub in America, and he has been detained for months. He doesn’t have the competence to do what he is being propelled to do. This is somebody that has gone for rehabilitation before. The records are there at the Gbagada General Hospital we don’t want to go too far.”
He also publicly appealed to the leadership of his party, the All Progressives Congress to reconsider the decision to field Sanwo-Olu against him.
“Our leadership should have a rethink. I plead with our leaders to have a rethink, It is not about me, it is about the opportunity that APC has,” he said.
