Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged APC chairmanship and councillorship candidates in the July 12 Local Government Elections not to take the polls for granted.
Sanwo-Olu made the call on Tuesday when he presented APC flags to all the party’s candidates at a stakeholders parley.
He pleaded with party leaders and candidates to work hard to validate APC dominance in the state, calling for unity and support for the party’s candidates in the polls.
“We are here because our father and leader, President Bola Tinubu, has asked me to come and thank all for holding his base very well.
“We must work the way we ought to do it, showcase and validate our strength in Lagos, and ensure that APC is a party to be proud of. Knock all doors and seek votes.
“Every election is local, don’t take anything for granted. Go and work, engage with the people, touch the people, let the people see those they want to vote for,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The governor said the party is united, regardless of different political affiliations and outcomes of the primaries.
According to him, there would always be issues when so many people are vying for positions, urging all aggrieved to take the party decision as supreme.
