Lagos deputy governor, Idiat Adebule dumps Ambode for Sanwo-Olu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries for the Lagos state gubernatorial election is underway across the state.
Incumbent governor Akinwunmi Ambode and former commissioner Jide Sanwo-Olu are the two contestants vying for the party’s ticket.


According the reports, party members are voting in an open ballot, standing on a queue for their preferred candidate.

Unverified reports on social media states that Sanwo-Olu, the preferred candidate of Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor and national leader of the APC, is leading by a wide margin.

Idiat Adebule, Lagos deputy governor, has backed Sanwo-Olu over Ambode.

“The party has chosen a man and it is that man that I will support and follow,” Adebule said while voting in Iba LCDA.
