Speaking to PUNCH during an interview session, the Oba of Lagos said, ''Well, I can tell you in all honesty, I went to Mecca as the head of Nigerian delegation and I met the present Chairman of the PDP, Adamu Mu’azu. He is someone I have known for a long time. He is a very close friend.
''In Mecca, there was nothing he did not say to convince me to support his party. He told me support him but I told him what Almighty Allah had shown to me regarding Ambode. He said I should convince Ambode to defect to the PDP and they would adopt him as their candidate but I said I no. I told him that I did not hate the PDP''.
Ambode is currently the Governor-elect of Lagos. He contested and won using the All Progressives Congress, APC platform.
