Lagos APC primary: Real
reason Ambode conceded
defeat to Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode,
conceded victory to Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the
All Progressives Congress primary election to
avoid impeachment.
DAILY POST reported yesterday that Ambode,
in a brief press conference conceded defeat
and congratulated his opponent Sanwo-Olu.
Before his shock acceptance of the result,
there had been expectation that the governor
would fight the declaration of Sanwo-Olu as
the winner of the state’s Tuesday governorship
primary.
The election result was initially cancelled by
the APC National Working Committee panel
that had promised to announce a new date for
the primary.
The panel also made a U-turn on Wednesday to
declare Sanwo-Olu the winner, sparking
speculations that the governor would reject the
move.
But a few hours after the panel’s new decision,
Ambode’s media team sent a press statement
that the governor would host a “world press
briefing” causing more speculations even
suggestions that he might dump the ruling
party.

Ambode eventually accepted defeat and
congratulated Sanwo-Olu.
Now Punch claims that sources from both
Ambode and a National Leader of the party,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s camps said that the
move was meant to remove the tension, as
well as avert the impeachment move being
considered by party elders.
The newspaper reports that before and after
the broadcast, Ambode had contacted Tinubu
and some party leaders in a bid to assure them
of his loyalty to the party, and in order to avert
the impeachment option.
The APC Publicity Secretary in Lagos State,
Joe Igbokwe, said he did not know about any
peace move by the incumbent governor, as
well as any deal.
He said, “I don’t know about that.”
Another source told Punch, “He (Ambode) did
not want the matter to get to that level; that is
why he accepted the defeat to reduce the
tension in the state and stop any panicky
action by the party elders. He also wanted
them to leave him in peace to complete all his
projects,” the source said.
One of Tinubu’s aides also said it was still
early to say.
He said, “Ambode just made his speech, every
other thing would flow from the governor’s
decision to accept defeat and congratulate
Sanwo-Olu.”
