A group known as the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) New Youth Circuit has urged the party’s leadership to
field Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, as its automatic candidate ahead
of the 2019 elections in the state.
The group made the call in Abuja
on Wednesday following the reports of a feud between Ambode and APC National
Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, which has seen the party’s leader reportedly
backing another candidate in the race.
Williams Oladipo, who is the
group’s spokesperson, also made exceptions to reports that PDP has offered
their automatic ticket to oil tycoon, Femi Otedola.
Oladipo alleged that Femi Otedola
was Tinubu’s alternative candidate and that he has decided to use him as a
bait, to lure the cash strapped party in the state.
“Ambode should be embraced by the
PDP. Having the governor of Nigeria’s most important state will bolster our
party’s chances in the 2019 general elections as we seek to remove the failed
government of Muhammadu Buhari.
“The party must not throw away
this chance to consolidate its effort to take back power in 2019.
“Ambode will bring people and a
government machinery behind him, that is what we need now,” he said.
