Ambode Seeks Second Term As Lagos State Governor

The Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode today, picked up the nomination form to vie for a second term in office, Naija News understands.

Ambode revealed the development on his twitter page while  sharing a photo of himself picking up his nomination form at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national headquarters.

I was at the National Headquarters of our party, the All Progressives Congress, to collect the Nomination Forms to re-contest for the office of Governor of Lagos State. Once again, I count on your support.

Speaking on Ambode’s second term bid, former Chairman of Shomolu Local Government Area, Gbolahan Bagostowe, said “I think Ambode will win the primary and the election proper. I stand to be corrected, I don’t think any aspirant in APC can beat Ambode as of now.“Ambode has worked very well. It’s what everyone can see. Infrastructural development in health, schools and many others.

“What he has done is visible for all Lagosians to see. Ambode is working, Lagos State is moving.” he added.

Asked if the division among the APC aspirants in the state will not affect the fortunes of the party in the election, Bagostowe, who now wants to be a lawmaker in Lagos State House of Assembly, said “At the end of the day they will always settle their differences.

“Everybody will become one at the end of the primary election.” he said.

On the opposition’s strength against Ambode in the forthcoming election, he said “You cannot compare the opposition in Lagos State now with 2015. Ambode has silenced them.

Some of them are now decamping to APC. Look at the former Chairman, Honorable Salvador, he has moved half part of PDP to APC in Lagos State.” he stated.
