News on Trail Reporters desk shows that, oil magnate and Billionaire, Femi Otedola has accepted the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Governorship ticket to run in the Lagos Guber elections for 2019.
Otedola is much likely to face Babajide Sanya-olu in APC, who was this afternoon adopted by the 57 local government Chairmen in Lagos, and said to have been backed by Former Lagos Governor, Bola Tinubu.
An exclusive video obtained by Trail Reporters says, Governor Akinwumi Ambode has just been told very expressly by the messengers of his estranged godfather that he won’t get APC ticket for second term.
Mr. Babajide Sanya-Olu, a strong ally of Tinubu and notable financier of Rauf Aregbesola’s backed MANDATE MOVEMENT has been endorsed to flag the Guber ticket of APC.
All the chairmen of APC in 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs have signed the nomination form of Babajide Sanya-olu.
Another headache for Ambode is that the Governor may be impeached if he defect to another party unless the Abuja cabal come to his side through police and public unrest by sealing off the assembly complex till the end of next year general election.
The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa in a letter to Ambode yesterday advised the governor not to submit his nomination form, warning the Governor that he will be IMPEACHED if he dare disobey his advise.
Meanwhile, Abuja is considering backing Ambode to run under Action Democratic Party (ADP) like Obasanjo backed Ikhedi Ohakim of Imo State under PPA in 2007 against his party.
The next two weeks will be interesting in Lagos Political firmament as the prayers of common People seems to be answering. A source said.
