The
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Wednesday said reports of a rift
between him and national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola
Tinubu, were untrue.
Mr Ambode made the clarification in a statement
signed by his chief press secretary, Habib Aruna, in Lagos.
Both the social and traditional media have been
awash with news of a major rift between Messrs Tinubu and Ambode over alleged
disagreement on the second term bid of the governor.
Mr Aruna quoted Mr Ambode as telling party
faithful in Epe during the election of delegates for the presidential primary
election and national convention of the party that the reports indicating a
fight between him and Mr Tinubu were out of place, and ”there was no fight
anywhere.”
“I want you to know that there is no fight
anywhere. The national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and my good self we
are not in any fight, we are not in any controversy.
“We are praying to God that the best is yet to
come and the best will be what Lagos State deserves and I want you to just
continue with your prayers that at this time, God will show His hand and make
sure that everything that is of blessing to Lagos State and also blessing of
Epe will come to pass,” Mr Ambode was quoted as saying.
