Blogger apologises to Ambode over report of backing PDP

Akinwunmi Ambode

A blog publisher Precious Eze has apologised to Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode over a malicious report accusing him of secretly backing the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) against the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 elections.

The blogger had alleged that Mr Ambode gave a whooping N1billion to the PDP governorship candidate in the state Jimi Agbaje and had also been covertly working with the opposition party against the interest of his party, APC.

In a statement on his Facebook page, the blogger took full responsibility for the inconveniences caused by the report to Ambode, pledging not to indulge again in any deliberate act to malign him.  

The said fallacious report was allegedly given to the blogger by a Lagos politician.

“I would like to take full responsibility for the post on my wall earlier today, which suggestively tended towards painting the amiable Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode in bad light.

“Governor Ambode is my man any-day, at least, I campaigned vigorously for him in 2015 because I loved and still love him, and will not do anything that will deliberately hurt or malign him in anyway possible.

“I therefore apologize to Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor of Lagos State for any inconveniences that post may have caused him, and pledge my continued support till and after his tenure as Governor is over. I take full responsibility and apologize,” Mr Eze wrote.
