Akinwunmi Ambode, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos, has said that he neither suffers from any ailment nor has ever met or been treated by a certain Dr Lanre Adeoye, saying he is of sound mind and body. In a statement by Steve Ayorinde, director, media and communications, Akinwunmi Ambode Campaign Organisation, while refuting allegations over the health of the governorship candidate, Ayorinde described it as fictional tale that should be disregarded in its entirety.
He described the allegation as “wicked, baseless and cowardly lies being circulated about our candidate for the Lagos State governorship position, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.” “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 sup- porters 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 des- tiny”, it said.
The campaign organisation said, “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 Progressives Congress (APC). Fashola is working, Lagos is moving and Am- bode is ready. No weapon of the opposition can stand against this obvious choice of the people”.
