According to Buhari, this is why APC cannot afford to lose Lagos

by Ranti Joseph

The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, said that Lagos State was too important for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to lose to the opposition.

Buhari, on Tuesday at the APC rally in Orile area of the state, urged Lagos residents to vote en masse for the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday.

“Defy all elements, whatever it may be, and vote for APC from top to bottom,” he said. Buhari told the crowd that Lagos, with its huge investments, could not be toyed with.

“Don’t attempt to be on the wrong side of the centre because we are now the centre. Tell your neighbours, your relatives and even the opposition party to please bury the hatchet and fall in line and vote for APC,’’ he said.

Buhari assured the people that they stood to benefit a lot if they voted for the APC. He said that he would prioritise investment in Lagos infrastructure, noting that the state is a mini Nigeria.

“Gov. Babatunde Fashola has told me how much the state has been spending to maintain Federal Government infrastructure, including roads, buildings and other institutions.

“I urge Ambode, who will be the next governor of the state, to harass me sufficiently to honour my undertaking,” he said.

Ambode urged Lagos residents to consider the possibilities they stood to gain with APC being the party at the centre.
