Femi Otedola Denies Claims That He’s Running For Political Office

Billionaire business man, Femi Otedola has debunked rumours that he was running for the office of the executive governor of Lagos State.

Recall yesterday, rumours the oil magnate was interested in political office made news.

The statement that made the rounds on the internet reads,

As a lot of you might already know, it is my intention to follow in my father’s footsteps and lead my people into making Lagos State a true powerhouse in Africa’s economy. Not just a megacity but an efficient and productive city where everyone is rewarded for their hard work, After much consolation with my political mentors, and much discussion with those close to me, I want to formally share this good news with the good people of Lagos, my interest in the governorship ticket of Lagos State at the 2019 gubernatorial elections. In due time I will also announce under which “umbrella” I will be running. Thank you.” Ote$

Mr. Otedola has responded to this claims via his Twitter handle, stating that the reports were false and matter of factly, he fully supports the current Lagos State governor, Akinwumi Ambode as he says the governor has been doing a good job and he has his support for second term.
