There are high indications that the governor of Lagos State, Akinwunni Ambode,may have lost the support of more delegates ahead of the governorship primaries slated today Sunday.This is because all members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have taken the decision to abandon Governor Ambode, just as they have endorsed the candidacy of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Specifically at a parliamentary meeting which held  on yesterday  at the Lagos State House of Assembly Complex, members unanimously took the decision to take side with the support of the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Governor’s Advisory Council, GAC, in Lagos State on the endorsement of Sanwo-Olu as the governorship candidate of the APC in the 2019 election.

In attendance at the meeting were 36 out of the 40 members in the State House of Assembly.

Read full statement as issued by Musbau Rasaq, media aide to the House Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa:

“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 Sanwo-Olu as the APC gubernatorial candidate in the 2019 election.
