The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje and governors elected on the party’s platform have appealed to aggrieved members of the Ondo State chapter to work for the success of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in next month’s governorship election.
Among the aggrieved members were governorship aspirants who contested the APC primary against the governor. Ganduje said victory at the polls was a task for all party members.
He appealed to them to work together to achieve victory. He said: “Our mission is to give you assurance that our party is solidly behind you; that the party at the national level is behind you. We are here to give you hope, to encourage you, to make you feel that this election is a task that must be done.
“We are so encouraged that there is unity in this party, especially when you invited all aspirants, there is no victor no vanquish in the primary. This is a win-win situation. This is a big achievement.
“I’m expecting 90 per cent victory in this election. Make sure that you know those who are supposed to vote in your units. You must be involved in the house-to-house campaign. We are strategizing, we must have 100 per cent states of the Southwest, beginning from Ondo State.”
Lagos State Governor and Coordinator of the APC in the Southwest, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu called for unity among members. He said: “The Southwest APC leaders meeting, which took place today was successful and we are happy. We are here to thank you. All of you are critical to the election of November 16.
“The future is bright for Ondo State. We must agree. We can’t get any leadership support other than this. For me, it is to congratulate all of us. I am happy for the turnout. If we come together, we will win. We beg all of you to support our candidate. We must get more than 85 per cent of the votes.”
