LAGOS—THE controversy trailing the indigeneship of the All Progressives

Ambode; Will he succeed Fashola?

Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Lagos State for the 2015 elections, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, was yesterday, laid to rest by the Olisa of Epe, High Chief Korede Kareem Alaolu, who insisted Ambode, was a bonafide Epe indigene.

The Olisa at a briefing in Lagos said the clarification became imperative following reports claiming Ambode was not an Epe indigene and, therefore not qualified to contest for such a political position in the state.

He spoke at the event attended by the Oresanya family of Epe, which included Pa Lateef Anifowose (Baba Ogunnde), the Olokun of Epeland; Chief Kayode Lateef; an uncle of Ambode, Mr. Johnson Ademola Oresanya, among others.
