This is in opposition to charges leveled against him by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
The representative on September 30, 2018, while tending to a World Press Conference affirmed that Sanwo-Olu was before a patient at the Gbagada General Hospital, Lagos, where he experienced recovery.
Sanwo-Olu had developed as the governorship competitor of the gathering in the state dependent on the help got from the Mandate Movement of the Lagos APC and that of the national pioneer of the gathering, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Ambode, who lashed out at his then-rival for the gathering's governorship essential race, subsequent to neglecting to anchor the support of the Mandate Movement for a second term, had stated, "The applicant that has been set up to challenge against me (alluding to Sanwo-Olu) is certainly not a fit and appropriate individual to take this activity."
He had included, "This specific wannabe is someone that has been captured for spending counterfeit dollars in a dance club in America, and was confined for a considerable length of time.
"It is likewise realized that he doesn't have the fitness to do what he is being impelled to do. This is someone that has gone for restoration previously. The records are there at the Gbagada General Hospital."
In any case, in the Form CF001 submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission by Sanwo-Olu, he said he had never whenever been declared to be of unsound personality.
Reacting to one of the inquiries in the frame: "Have you at any point been decreed a crazy person or pronounced to be of unsound personality?" the governorship competitor ticked "No."
As per INEC, one of the reasons for exclusion for anybody looking for open workplaces indicated in areas 65, 106, 131 and 177 of the 1999 Constitution is if such a man is "decreed to be a neurotic or pronounced to be of unsound personality."
In the interim, Sanwo-Olu and his partner in the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, neglected to connect their expense authentications to the Form CF001 submitted to INEC.
A Punch reporter watched this at the INEC office in Yaba, Lagos, where names of governorship hopefuls in the state were glued.
Notwithstanding, investigators said they did no wrong since accommodation of expense declaration was not required by the applicants in the Electoral Act.
"They could have appended their expense declarations for the sake of straightforwardness," a Lagos-based legal counselor and political analyst, Mr. Niyi Abayomi, said.
