Tinubu whos is popularly called the ‘godfather’ and kingmaker of Lagos State has been alleged to have sworn that the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, will not be returning in 2019.

The APC national leader has debunked all rumors, saying he does not have any anointed candidate when he spoke at a party meeting recently. According to Asiwaju, anyone who comes to him, kneeling down to be anointed is wasting his time.

He buttress his points by saying;

When I went to the Senate, it was the party members that voted for me in the Primaries, in 1999 when I wanted to be Governor, it was party members that voted for me to get the ticket.

Anyone who mentions my name is fooling you, I don’t have any anointed candidate, vote for whoever you want” he said
