Moshood Salvador, the Lagos State Director-General, presidential support committee for the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress will win the election in the state general elections.
Salvador, a former chairman of PDP in the state who defected to the APC after falling out with leaders of the main opposition party, said this Thursday while launching campaign vehicles and other materials ahead at the election at the campaign office in Maryland, Ikeja.
He added that it was obvious that Lagosians had rejected the PDP, stressing that the party’s inability to campaign in the state was an indication that it had accepted defeat in the general elections.
The former member of the House of Representatives, between 1999 and 2003, promised to secure one million votes for the party in the state, and charged party members to increase campaigns across state.
“No other language is better than Permanent Voters Card during these elections,” he said, contending that there was no other party than APC in Lagos.
“PDP does not exist. Where are the posters of the PDP anywhere? They are not campaigning; they cannot even afford to pay an agent,” he noted. Salvador urged voters in the state to go out and vote peacefully for APC.
Also speaking at the event, former Senator, Anthony Adefuye, said that Lagosians had resolved to vote for the APC in the general elections, and charged members of the party to protect their votes after voting.
“APC is what we would vote in Lagos in this election. Go out and vote, and protect your votes even after voting,’’ he told them.
Nigeria’s general election will begin on February 16th with the Presidential and National Assembly elections. Incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, of the APC is seeking a second term in office. His main challenger is Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President of the country and candidate of the PDP
