The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State on Saturday endorsed Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu for the party’s governorship primary which has now been rescheduled for Monday across the state.
They also resolved to mobilise party members to vote for him during the direct primary across 377 wards in the 20 local government areas in the state.
The endorsement by the Gubernatorial Advisory Council (GAC) came on the heels of the withdrawal of Dr. Obafemi Hamzat from the primary for Sanwo-Olu and a similar expression of support for the leading aspirant by 36 members of the State House of Assembly.
The battle for the party ticket will now be a straight fight between Sanwo-Olu and Governor Akinwunmi Ambode who vowed to press ahead with his aspiration for a second term.
The Ambode Mandate Support Group (AMSG) said the governor is capable of winning the primary on his merit.
The Gubernatorial Advisory Council (GAC) which is the highest decision making organ in Lagos APC took the decision to endorse Sanwo-Olu at the party secretariat on Acme Road, Ogba, Ikeja, yesterday.
