2019: Ambode Doesn’t Have Automatic Ticket – APC Chair

Despite giant strides recorded so far in his administration, Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode will not be handed an automatic ticket by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for second term in 2019.

The Lagos State Chairman of APC, Otunba Henry Ajomale made this known in a Monday interview with The Nation.

Responding to a question on automatic second term ticket for the governor, the party chairman said, “Even, if you do more than what the governor has done, nothing is automatic. Let the people review you again on the basis of what you have done. You should not entertain fear about second term. What has to be done has to be done. If we don’t do it correctly now, some people will come tomorrow and bastardise it. We must uphold the institutions of democracy. There is no automatic second term. Once the people prefer you, you may even go unopposed. You may be there at the primary unopposed and nobody objects to it. But, the process must be followed.”
