Today, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state, will pick their governorship candidate for next year’s elections.
The two major aspirants are incumbent Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode and Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Ambode is fighting a tough battle to remain in office for another four years, as Sanwo-Olu has the backing of Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the National Chairman of the party.
Tinubu and other APC leaders in the state have endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the party’s governorship ticket.
Ambode, apparently infuriated by the development, opened a can of warns against Sanwo-Olu.
It remains to be seen how all these play out on Tuesday and which man gets the ticket.
