Lagos APC primary: Deputy governor, Adebule dumps Ambode for Sanwo-Olu

The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Adebule on Tuesday abandoned
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to support Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the
two-horse race to pick the ticket to represent the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the 2019 governorship election.

Adebule told newsmen at Ward A and D, in Iba Local Council Development
Area of Lagos where she participated in the governorship primary of
the APC, that she would endorse the candidate chosen by the party.

"The party has chosen a man and it is that man that I will support and
follow," she said.

NAN reports that when the deputy governor arrived at the ward, some of
her aides came with Sanwo-Olu's posters and banners.

At the ward, accreditation started at about 10.36 am as party
electoral officials arrived.

There was no formal announcement of the results as the accreditation was brief.

Many party members at the venue started singing the praises of Sanwo-Olu.
