Lagos State Governor has officially reacted to the story making the rounds on social media that he had stepped down ahead of the APC Gubernatorial Primaries.
A statement from his Chief Press Secretary tittled “2019 Primaries: Disregard Fake News” the Governor insists that he was firmly in the Race and that his good works will speak for him at the Primaries.
The Statement reads “My attention has been drawn to a falsehood spreading across social media platforms on the endorsement of a candidate for the Lagos State Governorship position by His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
There is no iota of truth in the said statement and it did not emanate from the Governor or his office. We are not oblivious of the desperation from certain quarters that is hell bent on fanning the embers of discord within the Lagos APC.
The giant developmental strides and infrastructural development embarked upon by Governor Ambode in almost three and half years will be completed by him within the constitutionally stipulated time. This is why he has sought the support of party leadership and every Lagosian for re-election in order to complete the good works he has started. He is very much committed to that bid.

Habib Aruna
Chief Press Secretary to His Excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode
