Although some have published since yesterday that Ambode has won the gubernatorial ticket in Lagos, the Lagos primaries just ended minutes ago.
Akinwunmi Ambode, the man widely believed to have been anointed by Bola Tinubu the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has emerged the winner of the Lagos governorship primaries.
About 5,700 delegates from 20 local government areas cast their votes for the 13 candidates who sought the ticket of the party.
Ambode defeated the other 12 aspirants with 3,735 votes.
The votes for other candidates are as follows: Lanre Ope [0 vote ], Abayomi Sutton [0 vote], Tokunbo Agbesanwa [0 vote], Tokunbo Wahab [7 votes], Adekunle Disu [9 votes], Tola Kasali [68 votes], Lekan Pitan [112 votes], Adeyemi Supo Shasore [121 votes], Ikuforiji [182 votes], Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon (GOS) [272 votes], Obafemi Hamzat [1,201].
It was a peaceful activity but many believe Ambode won because he has been anointed discretly by Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is the former permanent secretary of the ministry of finance in Lagos State. He resigned voluntarily in 2012, probably to pursue his ambition of becoming the next governor of the state. He is a chartered accountant and a Christian from Epe (although some have debunked that by publishing his JAMB form which he used in gaining admission to University of Lagos, where he wrote that he is from Ondo State).
Do you think other candidates will go to court based on the state of origin written on his Jamb for?
