Buhari Wants APC to Win Lagos state At All Cost
Nigeria’s President-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has insisted that the All Progressives Congress must win the governorship elections in Lagos state on April 11.
While speaking on Tuesday at the APC rally in Orile area of the state, Buhari urged supporters of the party and residents of the state to vote en masse for the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
He siad: “Defy all elements, whatever it may be, and vote for APC from top to bottom. Don’t attempt to be on the wrong side of the centre because we are now the centre. Tell your neighbours, your relatives and even the opposition party to please bury the hatchet and fall in line and vote for APC.’’
Buhari assured the people that they stood to benefit a lot if they voted for the APC. He said that he would prioritise investment in Lagos infrastructure, noting that the state is a mini Nigeria.
“Gov. Babatunde Fashola has told me how much the state has been spending to maintain Federal Government infrastructure, including roads, buildings and other institutions.
“I urge Ambode, who will be the next governor of the state, to harass me sufficiently to honour my undertaking,” he said.
