Otedola breaks silence says he’s not running for Lagos governorship

Billionaire Femi Otedola early Friday debunked claims that he wants to run for the governorship seat of Lagos State.

Rumours went rife that the oil magnate wanted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s job when he posted a video of himself boarding the popular long bus with yellow and black stripes popularly called Molue, from Sango to Agege on Wednesday.

He had posted the video of the bus ride on his Instagram page.

Otedola, however, quenched the fire of the rumour when he took to his Twitter page to state that he supports Governor Ambode for second term and that the governor was doing a “commendable job.”

See the tweets below:

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.

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

Nigerians have responded to his tweet:

Noted, but again Femi, do you also want to just clarify why you chose to act like a commoner or layman the other day when you boarded a molue bus in Lagos and posted a video of it on your instagram account?
