Multiple sources in Alausa, the seat of Lagos State Government on Tuesday dismissed claim in the social media suggesting that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode was planning to sack all the 57 chairmen of Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State.
The claim, which was circulated by an online newspaper, had claimed that the governor was secretly perfecting moves to sack the council chairmen on or before Friday this week for allegedly supporting another governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jide Sanwo-Olu.
When our correspondent fact-checked the claim with highly placed sources in the state’s Ministry of Information, it was gathered that there was no iota of truth in the said report, which the online medium claimed it got wind of through a leaked information.
Debunking the report, a top government official who spoke on condition of anonymity, urged the public to ignore the report in its entirety, describing it as another hoax made in continuation of the vicious lies against the Ambode administration.
