Governorship Election: We Would Defeat Our Opponents At The Poll Without Violence - Tinubu Tell Lagosians

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed disappointment with the performance of the party in Lagos State in the Presidential and National Assembly elections which held on February 23.

Tinubu said he was especially disappointed with the performance of the party in 15 local governments out of the twenty recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Lagos State, saying that he was unhappy with the development.

The former Lagos State governor who made this assertion yesterday at a stakeholders parley held at the party’s secretariat in Acme,Ikeja, said, “It was only five local governments that preformed excellently in the last elections, the local governments are Mushin, Agege, Ikorodu, Lagos Mainland and Lagos Island.

We thank them for delivering their local governments without stress. Those that were unable to perform up to expectations need to put more efforts on Saturday’s elections.

“It is a very poor performance, unlike Lagos that I know, Alimosho was disappointing, Oshodi struggled, so was Kosofe and Shomolu, they barely showed up by their votes, I blame the sleeping canvassers, they faltered in delivering their wards,” he said, adding that this Saturday’s governorship and state House of Assembly election remains a test for the affected areas to redeem their image politically.

He stated that despite all shortcomings in the previous elections, the party would defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the Saturday election, saying there was no need for the party members to engage in electoral violence.

“We would defeat our opponents at the poll without violence. When you are confident of winning elections, there is no need to fight anybody, even if they provoke you,” Tinubu advised members.

He charged the leaders in the various wards to go back and work for the party and ensure that they deliver their wards, warning that any of them that loss his polling booths or wards will be on their own as the party will not tolerate such, urging them to go back and mobilise for the election

Tinubu added, “On Saturday, all I want to hear is that we have won in all the 20 local government according to INEC and all the 40 constituencies. I want you all to stay on queue till you cast your votes. We will also change some party agents who failed to deliver in the last elections.”

Some of the party leaders at the stakeholders meeting included; Prince Tajudeen Olusi, Chief Lanre Rasaq, Chief Bush Alebiosu and also the deputy governorship candidate of the party, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
