Ex-lagos state Governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, has disregarded
the claims that he has plans of imposing a candidate, Mr. Akinwumi
Ambode, former Accountant-General, as the next governor of Lagos state.
Tinubu
has described the allegations by the coordinator of a Lagos-based
group, Visioners for New Lagos, Mr. Bambo Akin-Johnson as one of the
common insinuations which is bound to happen since the election is
drawing near.
Meanwhile Tinubu's Media Adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare on Monday reacted to the allegations saying: “It’s
the season of politics and an election year, such allegations and
insinuations will be commonplace. This particular one is unfounded. Let
them provide proof. He who alleges must prove.
“What I
recall he has said repeatedly is that development is not about religion.
And that governing Lagos State is about merit, competence and ability
of the candidate.
“Just like he governed Lagos and laid a
foundation upon which Governor Babatunde Fashola, another competent
governor built upon, the next governor of Lagos must also be competent
and qualified.
“The people of Lagos and the voters will
decide who they want as governor when they go out to vote. Not a group
like this one will decide for them.”
