<\/p>\nThe Assistant Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Mr Abiodun Salami, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.<\/p>\n
He was reacting to a statement by a group of opposition political parties on Friday, which said that Sanwo-Olu was not a popular candidate and that he could not win the state in 2019.<\/p>\n
The Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the state, Mr Taofeek Gani, had recently said Sanwo-Olu was \u201cunprepared and incompetent\u201d and that he would not emerge in 2019.<\/p>\n
Reacting, Salami said no political gang-up could stop Sanwo-Olu as he enjoyed the support of residents to emerge as the next governor of the state.<\/p>\n
He said the governorship candidate was competent and prepared, adding that the people of Lagos state would vote for him to continue the development strides of the APC in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cSanwo-Olu will emerge the next governor of Lagos by God\u2019s grace. He is the choice of Lagos residents. He will be voted to continue the development strides of the APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow relevant are those parties saying all sorts of things about our candidate. Can they win any ward let alone the entire state?<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we cannot be joining issues with them. We don\u2019t want to make them popular.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019The party to be is APC. Everybody is here. Sanwoolu will defeat PDP and those parties all together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Salami said the chapter had commenced reconciliation of members owing to the issues in the last primaries in the state.<\/p>\n
He said the essence of the exercise was to strengthen unity in the party, to ensure total rout of PDP and others in 2019.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
