Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has played down speculations of a rift with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, saying reports to such effect were untrue.

Both the social and traditional media have been flooded with news of a major rift between Tinubu and Ambode over an alleged disagreement on the second term bid of the governor.

Addressing party faithful in Epe during the election of delegates for the presidential primary election and national convention of the party on Wednesday, Governor Ambode said the reports indicating a fight between him and Tinubu were out of place and that there was no fight anywhere, noting that the relationship between the him and his godfather is smooth.

Ambode specifically commended all the leaders and party faithful who contributed to the success of the delegates’ election in Epe, saying APC remained the party to beat in Lagos and Nigeria.

The Governor has however submitted his nomination form for re-election at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.
