Tinubu meets Lagos APC guber aspirants today

A former gover­nor of Lagos state and na­tional leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asi­waju Bola Ahmed Ti­nubu, has scheduled a meeting with all APC governorship aspi­rants in Lagos State today.

Top on the agenda of the meeting, which a reliable source said is billed for Tinubu’s Bourdillon Ikoyi home, is the need for the former governor to dispel the rumour making the rounds about his alleged backing of any of the aspi­rants for the governorship position.
The build-up to the 2015 governorship election in the state has seen no fewer than six topnotches of the party in the state eyeing the exalted position, a develop­ment that has given rise to speculation that a particular aspirant enjoys the backing of the former governor of the state.
Notable among the as­pirants are the Senator representing Lagos West at the Senate, Ganiyu Olan­rewaju Solomon, Speaker of the State House of As­sembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the Commissioner for Works, Dr. Obafemi Kadiri Hamzat, a retired senior civil servant, Akin Ambode and a former Commis­sioner for Health, Mr. Leke Pitan.
