'Otedola Never Planned To Run Against Ambode’ - The Boss Newspaper by GMan650(m): 9:12pm On Sep 12, 2018
By Eric Elezuo

Following his decision to key into the plans of the People Democratic Party to wrestle power from the ruling party in Lagos State, in the forthcoming 2019 Governorship election, as their flag bearer, The Boss can confirm that billionaire oil magnate, Mr. Femi Otedola, never planned to run against Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the current Governor of Lagos State.

Sources revealed to The Boss that Otedola had his eyes on the 2023 Gubernatorial election when Ambode may have concluded his tenure because of the promise he made to him (Ambode) that he will never run against him. And as Otedola puts it to his friends “I always keep my promise”.

However, as a result of the crisis in the Lagos All Progressives Congress (APC) where Ambode seems to have been dumped by his political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Otedola decided to bring his ambition forward.

He decided that if Ambode’s godfather has dumped him in preference for another aspirant, he is free from the promise not to contest against Ambode, and run against whoever Tinubu brings up as the party’s flag bearer.

The oil magnate has therefore confirmed to The Boss of his acceptance of the offer of the PDP to be their flag bearer in the 2019 Lagos governorship election.

Meanwhile, Femi Otedola has been pictured in Paris, France where he is assumed to have started a 3-month vacation. The oil magnate has not made any official declaration that he'll be contesting for the 2019 Lagos guber elections. The declaration shown on 'a twitter handle' yesterday happen to be an impersonator. A journey to Otedola's real twitter handle showed he didn't tweet anything concerning Lagos guber election.

If i am close to Otedola, i will advise him to shun politics and stay clear like Dangote. He can sponsor from behind. They shouldn't drag him into politics.

Soon, all Femi Otedola's sin and his father's own will be opened.

Let him 'jejely' continue his celebrity status on IG

As far as I am concerned, election in Lagos state is not about the personality involved, if it's about personality Jimi Agbaje would have become the governor of the state because people love him.Whoever Tinubu appoints will end up becoming the state governor.
So contesting against Abode or not, I don't see Otedola becoming the state governor.

We'll employ Greek styled political warfare in wrestling power from APC
Camp in the Southeast
encircle south south and capture the key towns of PHC,Uyo,Asaba and Benin
Penetrate Southwest via Benin
Overrun Ondo, Capture Lagos,Ekiti,Ogun and Osun surrenders
Another battalion simultaneously penetrate Northwest,Kano falls,Kaduna Surrenders,Sokoto and Katsina pledges loyalty, Niger is overrun, the whole of North central is captured, Abuja puts up a resistance but a final push eventually breaks the defense, Oshiomole accepts defeat, LAI Mohammed defects, and Buhari is bundled back to Daura

It's funny how it has been our eastern brothers that has been doing all the talking since on this matter, jumping from thread to thread discussing about an election in the South west. They said all these nonsense too in 2015

I have a feeling he is holding the nomination form for Ambode, should he leave APC, he will pick the form under PDP.
