I’ve only visited Gbagada Hospital to help the needy –Sanwo-Olu


AgegePulse Magazine

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has affirmed his physical fitness to contest in the 2019 elections.



Sanwo-Olu, who spoke on Sunrise Daily, a live programme of Channels Television, on Wednesday morning, was responding to claims by incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and former aspirant for the governorship ticket that the APC candidate had undergone rehabilitation at Gbagada General Hospital.

Akinbode had addressed a public gathering  on September 30, making the claim. He has since campaigned for Sanwo-Olu's election come 2019.

The ex-commissioner, however, stated that in politics, people are bound to make unfounded allegations in a bid to gain the upper hand.

He said, "This is me. I'm 53 years old. I'm sure I'm older than all of you (programme anchors).


"I missed my exercise this morning just because I needed to come here. But you know, in all of the things you've talked about, people get overly excited. For whatever it is, emotions will rise.

Sanwo-Olu added that his emergence as APC candidate was as a result of the party's desire to avert the likelihood of vote-buying among delegates.


He said, "APC took a decision way before the primary started and said it was going to use what they call direct primary.

"Direct primary means that every card carrying member of the APC is going to have a say in who emerges at all of the spheres of positions, be it presidential, governorship, House of Representatives or House of Assembly.
