Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged the leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) not to fail the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 general election.
Sanwo-Olu made the plea at the Lagos West 1 Senatorial District rally held at Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area of Lagos State on Friday.
The governor urged the leaders and members of the party in the zone to leverage their huge voting population to mobilise votes for Tinubu and other candidates.
“I want to appreciate all of you. Lagos West 1, your eyes are my eyes, my eyes are your eyes. Asiwaju’s eyes are your eyes. This is Asiwaju’s country home. Do not betray our agreement.
“Let us vote the way we have agreed. Don’t allow some deceivers to deceive you. Lagos belongs to you.

“By the Grace of God, we shall all eat the fruits of our labour here. Let us join hands together to do the work.
“I want to thank you very much for trooping out in large number this afternoon and for coming to support your party, our party and all of our candidates,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu, who is also seeking reelection in 2023, urged residents to support APC candidates vying for different positions in the next year’s general election.
He commended Ndigbo, South South, Arewa and other groups for supporting the ruling party, saying: “This is your place, make sure you go to all our market-men and women, make sure you vote in all of the elections.
“Better Lagos is rising, greater Lagos is rising, it is rising, I love you all. To the great youths, I love you,” Governor Sanwo-Olu added.
Sanwo-Olu further called on APC leaders and members to begin house-to-house campaign and mobilise registered voters for the collection of their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2023 general election.
The rally was attended by APC chieftains, candidates, members, among others.
