LAGOS GUBER: Otedola ends speculation about own interest, endorses Sanwo-Olu

Popular oil magnate, Femi Otedola has endorsed Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 Lagos governorship election, finally laying to rest speculations about his own interest.
Otedola prefers the candidature of Sanwo-Olu to Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The business man made the announcement Saturday on his Instagram page, declaring Sanwo-Olu his childhood friend and the incoming governor of Lagos State.
