The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Lagos State chapter, has said the emergence of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the
governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would facilitate
a seamless victory for the PDP in the 2019 governorship election in the state.
Speaking to in an interview with
Daily Independent newspaper, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Gani Taofik said
the PDP would beat Sanwo-Olu and the APC black and blue.
He added that Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, a national leader of the APC, rejected the incumbent governor,
Akinwunmi Ambode, for a second term in office because of alleged disagreement
in the sharing of the state’s resources.
He said: “We don’t see Sanwo-Olu
as a threat at all in the forthcoming governorship election. In fact, we will
beat him and the APC black and blue. Our candidate will win him hands down because
we know that the only reason why he has been presented is to be used as a
conduit pipe to syphon Lagos money.
“It is obvious and in the public
domain that the disagreement between Tinubu and Ambode is because of the
sharing of Lagos resources. While one insisted that he must continue to get his
percentage, the other said that it cannot continue and he wants development.
“So, I think Sanwo-Olu’s
emergence has made our job very easy. We will beat him black and blue.”
