Akinwunmi Ambode, former governor of Lagos state, has
revalidated his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ambode participated in the APC revalidation exercise at the
Epe ward of Lagos state, on Saturday.
This is the former governor’s first public appearance since
2019.
Ambode was denied the APC’s governorship ticket for
reelection in 2018, losing out to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who later won the March
2019 governorship election.
Initially, the decision of the party stakeholders to give
the 2019 governorship ticket to Sanwo-Olu — instead of an automatic ticket for
Ambode to serve a second term — did not go down well with the former governor.
He, however, later conceded defeat and congratulated
Sanwo-Olu on winning the election.
Since handing over to Sanwo-Olu as the governor of Lagos
state on May 28, 2019, Ambode has not been seen publicly participating in the
party’s activities.
However, he reemerged on Saturday when he stormed the Epe
ward A to revalidate his membership of the APC.
Since the return of democracy in 1999, Ambode is the first
governor of Lagos state, so far, to serve only one term in office.
