The All Progressives Congress, APC Governorship candidate of Lagos state, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has received a stern warning from the leaders of the ruling party in Lagos West, against overrating self, if he eventually wins.
Speaking to Sanwo-Olu during a ‘thank-you-visit’ to the senatorial district in Lagos yesterday, the leaders, among whom were: Dr. Yomi Finnih; Chief Rabiu Oluwa, South West APC Women Leader, Mrs. Kemi Nelson; immediate past State Chairman, Otunba Henry Ajomali; Senator Ganiyu Solomon, among others, said it is important for Sanwo-Olu to place interest of the state, people and the party above personal purpose.
Finnih urged him not to deviate from the Developmental Master Plan already laid down for Lagos.
The leaders also advised him to address poverty by connecting his government to the people at the grassroots.
Nelson told Sanwo-Olu to appoint women into key positions, if he wins in 2019, saying: “women’s votes have always been crucial to whoever wins Lagos governorship elections, right from 1999.”
Sanwo-Olu in his response, promised to run an all-inclusive administration if elected. He also assured them that he would mend fences with all aggrieved members.
