APC: Tinubu’s ‘candidate’ Sanwo-Olu speaks on ‘withdrawing’ from Lagos guber race
Congress (APC), Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu, has reacted to reports
that he has withdrawn from the race.
The former commisioner has the backing of Mandate Movement, a group
loyal to APC national leader, Bola Tinubu.
He had also been endorsed by the 57 chairmen of local government and
council development areas, top party chieftains, PSP operators, and
most recently all 337 ward chairmen in the state.
In a statement on Monday, by Comrade Sesan Daini, Director of Media,
Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organisation (BOSCO), said the
claim that the aspirant won't contest in Saturday's prinaries was
false.
"We hereby state unequivocally that the purported press statement did
not emanate from our Principal, Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu, rather it
is the handiwork of jittery members of the opposition to malign our
Principal and mislead members of the public.
"For the umpteenth time, Mr. Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu has not and
will not withdraw from this race and he is ready for the party
primaries slated for Saturday, 29th of September, 2018.
"BOSCO is not oblivious of the fact that these cheap attempts to
mislead and hoodwink members of our party and the general public will
be made by these disgruntled elements but we will continue to repeal
their falsehood with facts.
"Our Principal remains committed to his campaign while still
consulting with party leaders and members and would not be distracted
by cheap blackmails like this.
"We want to use this opportunity to urge our teeming party faithfuls
to troop out enmasse on Saturday, 29th September of 2018 to cast their
votes for Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu to be the Flagbearer of our
great party, All Progressives Congress (APC), in the forthcoming
general elections in 2019."
