In order to mislead Lagosians especially APC members who will be filing out in their numbers to elect a Governorship candidate ahead of the general elections in 2019, the strategists in Governor Ambode’s camp plan to publish a totally falacious story about the national leader of our party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu annointing or endorsing the governor hours before the APC primaries.
The primaries earlier scheduled for Saturday September 29th has been shifted to Sunday 30th September, 2018.
A statement from the directorate of Media and Publicity of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization (BOSCO) said that Gov Ambode planned to make newspaper and online publications hours to the election to misinform the electorate in Lagos and to cause confusion.
When contacted, some close associates of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu described the claim as total fallacy.
“It’s not going to happen. The governor has challenged the people of Lagos to a fight. Let him face it. “
“No meeting has been held between Asiwaju Tinubu and Gov. Ambode where the former Governor promised to endorse him.”
“In fact, the only thing that Asiwaju told Governor Ambode is to go and test his popularity among the party members who worked very hard to place him in office.” Our source said.
Recall that a number of similar false publications have already been released targeting our political base to cause confusion. But we remain resolute in our quest for change towards a better Lagos of our dreams.
The Director General of BOSCO, Mr. Tayo Ayinde hereby alert all APC members across the State as well as our supporters to get set for the election. Members of our great party are enjoined to coordinate themeselves in peaceful manner and ensure that their votes count.
Meanwhile more stakeholders in Lagos, including market and religious leaders have endorsed the candidacy of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
