Femi Otedola Denies Declaring Intention To Run For Lagos Governorship Election by Nobody: 5:32am On May 18, 2018
Nigerian Billionaire, Femi Otedola, has countered claims that he declared his intention to run for the Governor of Lagos State in the 2019 elections. This is coming after a parody account claimed that the billionaire businessman declared his interest in the election, with his Lagos deserves better tweet. The Parody account's post reads; 

However in new tweets, Femi Otedola who noted that he is a man of the people and will always be on the side of the masses, countered claims of contesting in the 2019 Lagos State Governorship polls. His tweets reads; 

My attention has been drawn to a news piece where false information from a parody account was posted. I am a man of the people and I will always be on the side of the masses but I am stating clearly via this medium that I am not running for office.

The Governor of Lagos State is doing a commendable job and Lagosians should be proud of him.

Fake accounts in my name have to have the word "parody" in their bio/profile to exist. @verified has recently paused verifications so, until I get the blue tick, please always ensure to read the bio/profile section of accounts that appear to be mine.

To the topic of discussion:

Of course, I knew he never intended running. Here in Nigeria, those who are stupendously rich don't take public posts because they don't need it. I mean, here in Nigeria, individuals occupy posts to enrich themselves, and not to serve. People only go into politics for the cash. The average Nigerian, given the wealth he/she desires, doesn't give a hoot about public offices.

In my country Nigeria, the genuinely rich are nonchallant about public posts. They would rather watch from one corner as these polithiefcians loot the nation dry. What does it matter to them? It doesn't deflate their wealth.

I'm still waiting for otedola, dangote, adenuga, elumelu, jim ovia, alakija, etc., to contest for public positions; to come out and serve the people.

Left to me, I think he will do 10x better than the incompetent terrorist from Daura, so he should be thinking of contesting for President or be the running mate of Dangote sef. Please go and get your PVC ready to send Baba, the incompetent, Buhari to his hometown. If you are ready to do so, hit the like bottom but if you want the man to remain then hit share.

I don't think someone as cool and refined like Femi Otedola can run for political positions in Nigeria.

To be a Kingmaker won't be a bad idea sha...

But no to Governor President Senator grin
