SUPO SASORE (SAN), DR.(ENGR) OBAFEMI HAMZAT AND AKINWUNMI AMBODE...WHO WEARS THE LAGOS APC GONERNOR'S CROWN

Kadri Obafemi Hamzat

Akinwunmi Ambode

Olasupo Sasore

The race to find who replaces out going Lagos state governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) is beginning to gather a lot of dust. With the All Progressives Congress Lagos Gubernatorial primaries to come up on Thursday 4th of December, 2014, indications have emerged that all may not be well especially between the incumbent governor and his godfather Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The major contention has been with the choice of the party's flag bearer for the 2015 elections.


It is rumored that while he (Asiwaju Tinubu) highly favours the candidacy of Akinwunmi Ambode, Gov. Fashola would see that either Olasupo Sasore or Kadiri Hamzat replaces him (Sasore being the most favoured).

But this development is not welcomed by Tinubu, and is more worrisome that almost all the candidates have called for a candidacy that is borne out of primaries across all wards in the state and not just a consensus candidate  or a candidate selected by just a few delegates.

It is however important to mention here that the APC (Lagos) seriously needs to cross its T's and dot its I's, should an unpopular candidate be filled, it would be a flawless victory for the PDP who are likely to present Jimi Agbaje as her flag bearer.
