Dayo Israel, national youth leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), has threatened political appointees in Lagos state “who fail to
deliver their wards for Babajide Sanwo-Olu.”
Sanwo-Olu is seeking re-election as governor of Lagos. He
will battle other guber candidates to retain his office on March 11.
In a Twitter post on Monday, Israel said political
appointees in the state who fail to deliver the governor’s re-election bid in
their respective wards should forget their appointments.
The APC national youth leader, in the now-deleted post, also
called on the political appointees to begin a door-to-door campaign for
Sanwo-Olu ahead of the election.
“Any appointee in
Lagos who doesn’t deliver his ward on the 11th March should not bother coming
to Alausa on the 13th. Everyone should drop their tinted car and start walking
the street. Knock on your neighbours door, beg those you need to beg, make
peace. Deliver for #Sanwoolu,” he wrote.
“Nobody
should do ‘One-million-man march’ Oribu kan mo. Focus on door-to-door. Party
excos, youth leaders, councillors, leaders, we have 10days to #SanwoAgain, go
and engage your neighbours. #deliveryourstreet, be humble, get off your high
horse. Ise wa o.”

Dayo’s tweets came shortly after Peter Obi, presidential
candidate of the Labour Party (LP), defeated Bola Tinubu, his APC counterpart,
in the presidential election held in the state.
Tinubu is a former Lagos governor. The state is historically
his stronghold as well as that of the APC.
However, results by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) showed APC got 572, 606 while LP polled 582, 354 votes to win
the state.
The outcome of the election is considered by many as a blow
to Tinubu and the APC’s perceived grip on the state.
