A former Accountant General of
Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, who has just been declared winner of
the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress, said he won
the primary overwhelmingly because of his mass appeal.
Ambode
who was declared winner with 3735 votes won by a landslide as the
current Commissioner for Works, Obafemi Hamzat , who came second, got
1,201 votes, less than half of Ambode’s votes.
Ambode,
while speaking with journalists after being announced as the winner
said he was the only aspirant that visited all the 20 local government
areas of the state.
He said, “I won because I
visited all the 20 local governments to consult with the people at the
grassroots and this is the result that you are seeing.”
While
delivering his victory speech to scores of supporters at the venue,
Ambode congratulated all other aspirants and urged them to set aside
their personal ambitions for the progress of the party and the state.
The chairman of the primary committee, Mr. Peter Obadan, said all aggrieved aspirants could appeal the results.
