Ex-Gov Ambode Reacts To Dumping APC For PDP

The immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode has reacted to rumours that he has defected from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement issued late Monday night by his spokesman, Habib Aruna, the former governor said any information of his leaving the ruling party was “totally untrue”.

Ambode also used the opportunity to appeal to the public to disregard mischievous persons and their sponsors stating that the rumour was meant to malign him.

He said: “We enjoin the general public, particularly Lagosians to disregard the planted news by some faceless and mischievous individuals in some unknown blogs, who are hell bent on creating acrimonious situation, spreading fake news that the immediate past governor of Lagos State, HE. Akinwunmi Ambode has dumped the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) for the PDP.

“The news is fake. The former governor is firmly a member of APC, working in his own capacity to see that the progressive ideas and the next level agenda of President Buhari succeed”.
