2019: Lagos Commissioner Mobilise Massive Support For Sanwo-Olu
The Honourable Commissioner for Home Affairs, Dr. Abdul Hakeem Abdullateef has advised Lagosians to vote for Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), as Governor of Lagos State in the forthcoming 2019 election, “so that the lofty, progressive and time-tested policies and programmes started in 1999 during the regime of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to Raji Fashola and Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode can continue unabated and in greater stride”.
Dr. Abdullateef gave the advice while speaking at a rally organized by the Itesiwaju Eko Foundation in Ejigbo Mini-Stadium, Oshodi-Isolo in Lagos, at the weekend, to mark the first year anniversary of the Foundation.
The leader and founder of the group, Dr. Abdul Lateef, said the main purpose of the rally was to show that the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, along with his entire cabinet members and millions of APC members, remains resolute in theircommitment of ensuring the emergence of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the Governor of Lagos State, in 2019.
He said: “Following the achievements of the past administrations and the need for the governing party, APC, to continue the giant stride of development across the State, it has become imperative that we elect Mr. Sanwo- Olu, to continue the implementation of the master template that has started since 1999, the unprecedented development and infrastructural growths, that has put Lagos in the driving seat among other States in the Federation”.
The Commissioner urged Lagosians, to elect Mr. Sanwo-Olu and all other APC candidates vying for electives positions in the State, adding that Lagosians could not afford to experiment by electing those that would enslave and bring the State down, while proclaiming, ironically, FREEDOM as their unique selling point.
“Today is a special rally for Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu. We want to tell the whole world that the entire Lagos state cabinet is resolutely behind Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode in this objective”.
Dr. Abdullateef, who is also the Director of Conflict Resolution of Babajide Sanwo-Olu Independent Campaign Organization, called on all aggrieved members in APC to work together and ensure victory at the polls for not only Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu but also all the 40 members who would be representing the good people of the State “as their voices and eyes” in governance.
He advised all members to reconcile differences and show their usual high motivated to further promote the interest of the party. He went on to advise that people should not be distracted by the recent happening in the State political circle where one of the cabinet members of Governor Mr. Ambode left the party.
“As one member left we are mobilizing thousands and millions. The absence of one member will not affect the standing of our great Party; nobody should make attempt to destroy the good works of Governor. Ambode is fully with Sanwo-olu, and nobody should misrepresent what is happening in government, as sign of weakening”.
