The All Progressives Congress in Lagos State has spoken on stories about the second term for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The second term issue came up three days ago when Sanwo-Olu made a comment on it during an interview with ‘Channels Television’.
He had responded to a question saying about second term.
But controversy has been trailing this, though many believe he is doing well.
Reacting on Monday, the party elders under the umbrella of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) condemned a post circulating through online platforms purporting that the GAC, other party leaders and stakeholders may not back the governor for a second term.
GAC Secretary Mutiu Aare made the clarification in a statement yesterday in Lagos.
The APC chieftain explained that the social media information was absolutely false and preposterous.
According to ‘The Nation’, he said the process of picking a governor is a constitutional matter, adding that contrary to the false impression the merchant of hate, confusion, discord and disharmony wanted to create with the post, there was no discussion of second term ticket by the GAC.
Aare said: “It is not within the realm of GAC to engage in picking replacements for a governor. Importantly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not signaled the commencement of the process for governorship election in Lagos State.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu was elected for a four-year tenure which is still ongoing. The matter of replacement of the governor does not arise and is patently subjudice. Governor Sanwo-Olu is doing a wonderful job delivering infrastructure projects for Lagos and working daily on making the state better for all its residents.
“We urge those behind this dangerous, dysfunctional and misguided post to desist forthwith.”
