The President-elect, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can’t afford to lose to the opposition in the Saturday governorship election.
Buhari stated this on Tuesday at the APC rally in Orile area of the state.
He urged Lagos residents to vote en-masse for the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday.
According to him, “defy all elements, whatever it may be, and vote for APC from top to bottom’’.
Buhari told the crowd that Lagos, with its huge investments, could not be toyed with.
“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,’’ he said.
Buhari further promised 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.
Buhari commended Chief Bola Tinubu, an APC National Leader, for all he had done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain development in the state.
He also commended Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and to the country.
