"Fellow Lagosians, the last few days have witnessed intense political

palpable tension in the polity. I strongly believe that the time has
now come for the State to move forward in order that the gains of the
last three and half years are not lost.
"Dear Lagosians, APC is a great party and the interests of our beloved
State must always supercede that of any person or group. It is in this
regard that I wholeheartedly congratulate the winner of the Lagos
State APC Primaries, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and urge all Lagosians to
immediately support our party's gubernatorial candidate in the 2019
elections and work for the success of our dear party.
"As Governor, I will do everything possible to ensure a smooth
transition in the remaining period of this administration and
ultimately to the new Governor, come May 2019.
"I therefore appeal to all our party members that we remain one family
and unite behind the candidate of the party, so that we can continue
to move this state forward.
"The progress of Lagos state is non-negotiable. It is a project that I
have passionately worked for in the last three and half years as your
Governor and one to which I will forever be devoted.
"I wish to use this opportunity to thank our national leader, Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the leadership of our great party at state and
national levels, all party faithfuls and all Lagosians.
"I thank all Lagosians for their faith and trust in me. I urge you not
to relent in your support for our party as we prepare for the General
Elections.
Long Live Nigeria
Long Live Lagos State
Long Live APC
Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko, lo jewa Logun"
