The Lagos state Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has dismissed rumours making rounds that he is suffering from mental illness. He described the insanity label as wicked and baseless.
Ambode, in a statement issued by his director media and publicity, Mr Steve Ayorinde today linked the malicious reports and ‘cowardly lies’to those jittery by the rising popularity of the APC candidate.
The statement read, “The jittery opposition will stop at nothing in its smear campaign having failed to contain the soaring popularity of the APC Governorship candidate. But we are neither bothered nor discouraged; and we know that our numerous supporters and the generality of well-meaning Lagosians can see through the lies and desperations of those who dread a crushing defeat at the forthcoming election.
“We know the source of this evil story as well as their despicable trumpeters. Well, we’ve got news for them… April 11, 2015 is almost here and it’s a date with history, when the good people of Lagos State will once again reject the evil machinations of those political marauders trying so hard to hijack their destiny.
The statement stressed that there was never a time that Mr Ambode was treated for mental illness by one Dr. Lanre Adeoye as being propagated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Ambode neither suffers from any ailment nor has ever met or been treated by a certain Dr. Lanre Adeoye. This fictional tale should be disregarded in its entirety”, the statement stressed.
“With a clear focus, sound mind and in good health, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode shall be unwavering in his campaigns and strategic consultations to retain Lagos State for the All Progressive Congress (APC)”, it stated.
