Executive Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode has spoken out in support of APC candidate, Jide Sanwo-Olu and President Buhari, asking supporters to vote for them.
In a statement released by Ambode’s press secretary Mr Habib Aruna, Ambode spoke to party leaders in Epe
Ambode was embroiled in a battle with Sanwo-Olu who has taken his place in the party after a falling out with Tinubu forced the APC’s stalwart to shift his support to Sanwo-Olu
Ambode said he had put the events of the last couple of months behind him and was firmly behind the APC and its candidates.

Ambode said: “All of us are brothers and sisters because this is a close-knit community. It is now time for us to work together for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and election of Mr Sanwo-Olu because Epe cannot afford to be left behind.
“I know that in view of what happened, some people are still aggrieved but what I want you to know is that there is no way PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) will work for the development of our division like APC. We are also all aware that for the past 16 years of PDP, they did not do anything in Epe division and it is only the APC that has been transforming Lagos and the country.
“I want to assure you that Epe will benefit more if we vote for APC. All my achievements in the last three and half years will be improved upon if Sanwo-Olu wins and so I want to urge you all to come out and vote for APC because that is how we can secure the future of our children and this division.”
