The Lagos state ruler, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has said that he dismisses supplications by the beset executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, to bolster the gathering due to what Allah let him know about the state's senator choose, Akinwunmi Ambode, preceding the 2015 gubernatorial decision in the state.

Anyway, he has now turned out to say that he found himself able to withstand the weight from Mu'azu and give his full backing to Ambode, who in the end crushed Jimi Agbaje of the PDP in the April 11 gubernatorial decision in Lagos state.
