The Lagos chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the endorsement showered on the incumbent governor of Lagos state and the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Recall that earlier in the day, a PDP chieftain and governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, endorsed Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu over his re-election bid.
In a release made available to Freelanews, the publicity secretary of the main opposition party in the state, Hakeem Amode, revealed that it would have been disappointing if Gov. Wike had not acted the way he did.
“I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support JANDOR and at the same time, couldn’t stop him from picking the party ticket in Lagos despite his supposed might within the PDP, would apportion to himself the decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election.
“While we won’t but acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which has had an influx of other state chief executives including Sanwo-Olu for commissioning, it is worrisome that Governor Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the commission of ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as Governor.
“My dear Governor and Leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu jobless and send him to the club of you former Governors next year. Only God, who has seen JANDOR and Lagos PDP this far, and the generality of Lagosians can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not your endorsement.”
“We will continue to sell our breath of fresh air agenda to Lagosians with the promise of a better tomorrow,” he said.
The party insisted that Lagos needs a breath of fresh air.
