The heaps of lies piled up by a rumoured
anointed governorship aspirant on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Mr Akinwunmi Ibidapo Ambode over
his claim to Lagos as his state of origin
have continued to fall apart as a form filled
by the aspirant while applying for a Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board,
JAMB’s direct entry admission into the
University of Lagos in 1981 has further
confirmed that he is indeed from Ondo
state.
A copy of the form mailed to iReports-
ng.com today reveals that Ambode had in
his application form number JAMB/DE.03
and registration number 646789 filled in his
own handwriting that he is an indigene of
Ondo state in the portion of the form which
asks his state of origin. He indicated his
contact address as 101 Lagos street, Ebute
Metta and his date of birth as 14th June,
1963. He also filled University of Lagos as
his first choice of school, University of
Benin as second and Ahmadu Bello
University as third choice with Accounting
and Business Administration as his first and
second choice of course of study
respectively.
This exposure as a liar is coming on the
heels of a revelation by the Edu family of
Epe in Lagos east that the aspirant is not a
member of the family as he has claimed.
The Baale Buraimo Edu family he claims to
belong to in Epe had t issue a statement last
week to disown him. The family, in a
release signed by both Alhaji M. Oladeinde
Edu and Alhaji T. A. Edu, also insisted that
Ambode hailed from Ilaje in Ese Odo area of
Ondo State and not from Epe as he claimed.
According to the release, the family stated
that the Baale Edu while alive had 22 wives
and 38 children and challenged Ambode and
his supporters to trace his side of the Edu
family tree and name his mother among the
22 wives. According to them “We hereby
bring it to the notice of all Lagosians that
we have tried but could not trace where the
said Akinwumi Ambode belongs in the
family tree of Baale Buraimo Edu of Epe.
“At this juncture, we can categorically state
here that in actual fact, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode was a son of Festus Akinwale
Ambode, one of the teachers posted to Epe
in the old Western Region; a native of Ilaje
Ese Odo in the present day Ondo State.
“As a school teacher, the elder Ambode was
very familiar and friendly with several Epe
indigenes. The older Ambode came to Epe
through the waterways. He came with his
wife, Christianah Oluleye Ambode (nee
Oresanya), who though initially did not stay
with him which made the older Ambode
marry a second wife, an Epe daughter,
popularly called ‘Iya Vice from Poka, Epe.
“She was a food seller in Epe Grammar
School. This development led to Akinwunmi
Ambode’s mother who also hails from Ilaje
Ese Odo in Ondo State to eventually
relocate to Epe to stay with her husband,”
the family said.
According to Edu family, at death,
Ambode’s father’s corpse was taken back
to Ilaje, Ondo State for burial in line with the
dictates of tradition and royalty as he was a
prince, adding that, “The royalty from the
kingdom came with the full royal insignia
and ferried his remains back to Ilaje land for
interment.
“With these facts stated above, it is a rude
shock to the entire clan of the Edus in Epe
that the said Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is
laying claims to being a clan of the Edus.
We reject this linkage, both paternal and
maternal, or even marital,” the family said.

You want your life history exposed?
Then go into politics
Your opponents will dig up the atrocities of even your great great great grand father

Opposition research.

That doesnt mean I wont vote him.

Ummm. All the same, what will be, will be. God bless Nigeria.

If not for a tribalistic mindset and nepotism, what is wrong with one's state of origin if the people feel you are the best choice?

Left for me we should scrap state of origin in Nigeria to reduce discrimination.

People living in Lagos know who's best for them.

Don't be divisive.

Tell me who can beat his chest in trump and boast,that he has no scret?
Remember..pointing with one finger,the remaining are acusing you and to be more real when you bend to checkout other people's anus what security do you put in place of yours ?
When we close doors and windows to do evil that none can see pls never forget to close heaven!

So dis PDP will not rest. So weytin u want mk Apc do now. Me I will still vote for him

I challenge other APC aspirants to challenge this matter in court immediately,better still PDP should equally do d needful

Wahala dey oh

Sorry is all I can say.

Yes naa. If you are not known, how do people accept you?
See Osibanjo history here : https://www.nairaland.com/2063845/osibanjo-transferred-rccgs-hqtrs-because

Naijaaa. I hail thee

Pls is it stated constitutionally that the Guber aspirants of a particular state must hail from that state... Well if so, i think its time for a constitutional review... Moreover when did ethnicity become an inextricable part of politics...

Vote ur candidates based on credibility and not necessarily on ethnicity..

The liar filled Ondo state for JAMB and filled Lagos for INEC.
That's perjury in our constitution and will have to be declared unfit to run for a sensitive post as the Gov of a State in the Federal Republic.
Someone would have to act quick and prosecute him.

That Liar cannot have my tax, LUC and VATs

Why should a grown up man lie for no good reason? I think Ambode is from 2 different states... Lagos & Ondo...
Born again by Ondo father & mother & when he got born again... He was born by Lagos father & mother from “dream“ Edu family in “dream“ Epe...
Liersssss!

So those that wrote Jamb 14times -if they venture into politics, which of their data-records would corrupt jamb bring out to public after some "power must change hands"


that is why we must trust them. Cos they can ruin alot with this. Instead of them to focus on making things beta. They are willing to make things more muddy.


Not like i support any1 though!

Eeeyyaah!


I see APC losing lagos to PDP with all these politricking

God punish those two parties

And fuckingg what? is Jakande from Lagos? The contitution does not stated that you most be from a particular state before you can run for a political post, What happen to a Nigerian who become mayor in US and UK?

ambode and apc are liars!
no honest Nigeria will vote for them!

What will you now do as an ILAJE man Governering Lagos state as the Governor........Will you kill yourself?

So Ambode na Ondo man, useless liar
