Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged leaders and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to come together for the 2023 presidential aspiration of the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He also urged them to work for the success of the party at the local, state and national levels.
Sanwo-Olu made the appeal during a working visit to Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area and Oriade Local Council Development Area, LCDA, where he commissioned the Senator Oluremi Tinubu Primary Health Centre in Festac Town.
Sanwo-Olu urged APC members and Lagos residents, especially the people of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government and Oriade LCDA to participate in the ongoing registration of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for them to exercise their civic responsibilities in the 2023 general elections.
According bro him, “We have a lot to be proud of in Lagos. We have a lot to make bragging right both at the state and also at the national level. We should see that sacrifice of our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will certainly not go in vain and that is why I am encouraging everyone that the journey we have started at ensuring that we have Asiwaju (Tinubu) representing us at the center is on the right course.
“As individuals and community, we all have a role to play. We all have a duty to ensure that the ongoing registration in INEC and the collection of your PVC is important because it is only when you do this that you can exercise your civic responsibility.
“I want to assure you that once you have that, nothing will stop us from achieving this agenda.
“I think it is also important at this point to admonish some of our leaders to close ranks and work for the victory of our party, APC and presidential aspiration of our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“All the leaders in Amuwo-Odofin and Oriade should come together. We must put our house in order and unite without allowing anything to divide us.
“There are enough benefits if we work together. We are not aspiring to win Lagos alone; we are also working to go to Abuja.
“So, I want to appeal to all leaders to do all that is required for our party to be stronger. We should not speak with two voices.”
Sanwo-Olu, who urged all traditional leaders to work with government at local and state levels for development in their communities, commended ethnic nationals for the unity, peace and progress that are being enshrined in the community and urged them to do more.
“I want to urge all traditional leaders to work with the government at local and state levels. We should work together for development in our communities. I want to encourage all other ethnic nationals – the Ndigbo Community, South-South Community and Arewa Community.
“I want to thank all of you for the unity, peace and progress that is enshrined in this community but I want more.
“I want us to continue to live in tolerance, peace and harmony because it is only when we do this that more community development will come to this locality and community.”
