The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has exhorted All Progressive Council members and loyalists to engage in door-to-door campaigns to galvanize support and emerge victorious against opposition party candidates in the July 12 Local Government elections.
Sanwo-Olu, represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, gave the charge at the APC’s Lagos West 2 Senatorial District Mega Rally held on Monday at Ijanikin in Lagos.
He urged the electorate to turn out en masse to vote for the party’s candidates in the July 12 council polls.
The governor, who pointed out that the PDP’s umbrella had been torn apart in the state, urged APC loyalists not to fail the party and its leaders.
He noted that “There are a lot of projects completed and ongoing in Lagos state. As members, we must be proud of our party.
“We must be proud of ourselves. We are progressives. We are doing well. May God make it easy for us” he prayed.
“It is important for us as a political party to come out and vote. We must mobilise ourselves and other electorate”.
“We are happy you all are carrying placards, but it is more important for you to go out with your PVCs and vote for candidates of the party”.
“Ensure you support the candidates of the party and defeat opposition candidates,” Sanwo-Olu said
Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, Lagos State APC Chairman, has exhorted residents to reward the party’s performance with a massive turnout of votes in the forthcoming council elections.
Ojelabi pointed out that President Bola Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu have shown exceptional munificence towards the district, and encouraged the local residents to demonstrate their appreciation through their ballots.
“We are not asking for nothing other than your votes. We need your votes to get our candidates in power. This is the time we must unite.
“To the youth of this corridor, this is the time for you to show your appreciation for all the good things President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu have done for us in the Lagos West senatorial district.
“Your party, the APC, has chosen wisely. It is for you to canvass and mobilise the people to come out in large numbers and vote for the candidates of the party.
“Let us tell the world that Lagos West 2 is for the APC.
“We must show our appreciation by mobilising for support for the party,” Ojelabi said.
He appealed to religious and community leaders, market men and women as well as individuals from various ethnic groups to support APC candidates during the polls.
