Nigerian billionaire and Oil mogul, Femi Otedola has debunked the news circulating the media about his intention to run Lagos governor. He made this known via his original Twitter account stating that those claims were coming from a fake account.
Below is the statement he released:
My attention has been drawn to a news piece where false information from a parody account was posted. I am a man of the people and I will always be on the side of the masses but I am stating clearly via this medium that I am not running for office.

He further clarified Twitters on how to spot the original account.
Fake accounts in my name have to have the word "parody" in their bio/profile to exist. @verified has recently paused verifications so, until I get the blue tick, please always ensure to read the bio/profile section of accounts that appear to be mine.

Femi Otedola continued to maintain a clean state of mind commending the Lagos state government for their tremendous work so far. Meaning, he feels no need for the government to change power
The Governor of Lagos State is doing a commendable job and Lagosians should be proud of him.
