Politics in Nigeria is indeed an interesting game as even at the dying minute, evidence will surely emerge just to prove a point about a contestant.
The former Accountant General of Lagos state and one of the highly favoured to emerge as the flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress in the ongoing party Primaries, Akinwunmi Ambode, might likely not win if reports reaching us is anything to go by.
According to CityRovers, it has been revealed that the form he filled for his Joint Matriculation Examination Board (JAMB) examination in 1983, as it is observed that he is from Ondo state.
Ambode, who has been enjoying massive support from the majority, may be investigated as some of the aggrieved politicians have petitioned the Inspector General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of a governorship aspirant of the party for committing perjury in his INEC form and his JAMB form.

Please don’t blame the British….. ….but intolerant Nigerians.
For example: Nnamdi Azikiwe (RIP) was born in Zungeru, northern Nigeria ….he almost became the premier of western Nigeria in 1954.….had he gained the support of another fringe local party in the west. ....he was the leader of opposition in the western house of assembly representing Lagos ….more importantly he was Igbo, not Yoruba, by birth he was a northerner ...overall a Nigerian and that's what counts.

Lagos Indigene are mugu.. they had sold their birth right since 1927... how can you allow Lagosian to rule Lagos? They are not Nigerian they came from Cotonou Benin Republic, AWORI people. So people i must clear you that people who made Lagos are Non-Indigenes... and they will continue ruling. If you allow a Lagos Indigene to rule, he will use the Lagos State Money do Party ( Owanbe) and marry so many wives, he will give about 15 women belle!! and they will share the Lagos Porse Money....one by one
