Despite Aregbesola’s Plot, Tinubu Finally Settles for Ambode
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has endorsed the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, for second term in office, despite the alleged plot by the Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to thwart his return, THISDAY can report.
Tinubu was said to have settled for Ambode after the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, and Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, prevailed on the APC leader to support Ambode’s re-election plan.
An APC chieftain told THISDAY that Tinubu had already agreed “to Ambode’s re-election plan.”
“The APC leader will openly endorse Ambode for second term any moment from now,” he added.
