AMBODE FACES IMPEACHMENT AS 57 COUNCIL CHAIRMEN LOYAL TO TINUBU'S ENDORSED JIDE

Although the reports on the plot to deny Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, a second chance in 2019 have been dismissed by stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the state — but emerging signs and actions show he is fighting for his political life.
Credible sources have informed TheCable that there is a threat to impeach Ambode if he does not drop his second term bid.
Over 50 council chairmen loyal to Bola Tinubu, his estranged godfather, have met and pledged their support for Jide Sanwonolu, who is believed to be Tinubu’s preferred choice, according to APC insiders.
The council chairmen are assumed to be the most influential grassroots mobilisers under the direct primary system adopted by APC to pick governorship candidates.
Most members of the Lagos house of assembly are also loyal to Tinubu.
“Meeting is over. Ambode is out. Jide Sanyaolu Sanwonolu is the new governor of Lagos. All 57 local government chairman have signed his form. It’s over,” the source said.
Ambode was yesterday (Monday) at the APC headquarters in Abuja to submit his nomination form.
