Billionaire, Femi Otedola is not trying to replace Governor Ambode
He may have a political ambition but replacing Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as governor of Lagos state is not in the pipeline.
Billionaire, Femi Otedola made this known via his Twitter account after a parody account had tweeted that he would be running for office. This came after a viral video of the billionaire riding on public transport ‘molue’ caused a frenzy on the internet.
Here is Mr Otedola’s stand on the matter:
My attention has been drawn to a news piece where false information from a parody account was posted. I am a man of the people and I will always be on the side of the masses but I am stating clearly via this medium that I am not running for office.

He then added:
The Governor of Lagos State is doing a commendable job and Lagosians should be proud of him.

Your prayers don't seem to be stopping deranged kids shooting up your schools, Mr President @realDonaldTrump.
How about making it harder for them to get their hands on guns? https://t.co/0Oo8jujwBS— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 18, 2018
