Now Lagos is becoming a lot more interesting. Finally people have enough balls to challenge jagaban..I think ambode still has the upper hand.. Even as Otedola throws his heart into the race

With Tinubu and Ambode going for each other's throat, Otedola as PDP's gubernatorial candidate in Lagos will be a sweet move. Popular name, deep pocket, a thirst for something different from Lagosians. I love this game!

Femi Otedola just accepted PDP’s governorship ticket in Lagos state

Tinubu is against Ambode to be Governor in 2019, he has dropped his own candidate

2019 elections will be damn too interesting

But APC will always win Lagos for sure.

What if PDP snap Governor Ambode with his power of incumbency to run against Tinubu rumored candidate, Jide Sanyaolu?

Or what if a coalition party field Femi Otedola as their party bearer to test his popularity & financial might against Jagaban of Lagos…

2019 is getting lit🔥

If Femi Otedola actually got a ticket to contest for the Lagos State governorship position come 2019, I see him winning ahead of any other candidate.

Ambode to hurt Tinubu and APC, signs a deal with PDP to protect interest
Otedola gets support from Ambode faithfuls and white collar Lagos populace and youths
