Lagos 2019: We’ll beat Sanwo-Olu ‘black and blue’ – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter, has said the
emergence of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) would facilitate a seamless victory
for the PDP in the 2019 governorship election in the state.

Speaking to in an interview with Daily Independent newspaper, the
party's Publicity Secretary, Gani Taofik said the PDP would beat
Sanwo-Olu and the APC black and blue.

He added that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the APC,
rejected the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, for a second term
in office because of alleged disagreement in the sharing of the
state's resources.

He said: "We don't see Sanwo-Olu as a threat at all in the forthcoming
governorship election. In fact, we will beat him and the APC black and
blue. Our candidate will win him hands down because we know that the
only reason why he has been presented is to be used as a conduit pipe
to syphon Lagos money.

"It is obvious and in the public domain that the disagreement between
Tinubu and Ambode is because of the sharing of Lagos resources. While
one insisted that he must continue to get his percentage, the other
said that it cannot continue and he wants development.

"So, I think Sanwo-Olu's emergence has made our job very easy. We will
beat him black and blue."
