Lagos state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has raised some serious allegations against governorship hopeful and party rival, Babajide Sanwoolu ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections on Monday.
Speaking at a world press conference at the government house, Alausa on Sunday, Ambode said his opponent, although he did not mention his name, is not fit to run the state.
The embattled governor said, “We have never responded to the campaign of calumny on social media. We have one family in APC. The aspirant being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this job,” he said.
“I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor. This particular aspirant is someone who has been arrested for spending fake dollars in a nightclub in America, and he was detained for months.
He went ahead to accuse Sanwoolu of being mentally unstable stating, “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 to far. 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.”
