The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled the governorship primaries in

APC acting national publicity secretary, Yekini Nabena, disclosed this in a statement made available to Pulse early hours of Monday, October 1, 2018.

The Lagos state primary earlier fixed for Monday, October 1 will keenly contested between by the incumbent, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, one who has the backing of the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu.

Governor Ambode had in a world press conference on Sunday, September 30, 2018, accused Sanwo-Olu of being unfit for the job

In his speech, Ambode said this concerning Sanwo-Olu, "Now the truth is this, the candidate, the aspirant that they are putting up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this position and that remains the fact, this is the truth. Party leaders and even party members have been misled to understand that this is a better candidacy than myself.

This particular aspirant as you all know, you can go and check, the records are there. This is somebody that has been arrested for spending fake American Dollars in a night club in America and he's been detained for months with mugshots before all these campaign started.

It's also known that he doesn't have the competence to do what he's been promoted for saying he is going to do, he doesn't have the competence to do what he is saying he can do. The records are there in Gbagada General hospital, this is somebody that has been rehabilitated before."

However, Tinubu believes Sanwo-Olu remains a better candidate and would do more than Ambode has done in over three years as the governor of Lagos state.

Sanwo-Olu reacted to the Governor's claims and said he would not disrespect the office of the Governor, adding that he has forgiven Ambode.
