2019 : Group backs Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat

Also Buhari/Osinbajo, other APC candidate

 

An independent political campaign group in Lagos, ‘Project LOUD’ has endorsed the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship/deputy governorship candidates in Lagos, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu/ Obafemi Hamzat for the 2019 election.

The group also endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and all other APC candidates in the forthcoming election.

Convener of the group, Prince Kenny Bakare made the call at a press conference he addressed at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island. ‘LOUD’ is an acronym for: ‘Lagos Of Our Dream’.

While urging Nigerians to make conscious effort to see that the journey to 2019 is peaceful and orderly, Bakare called for a situation “where all parties and partners freely discuss their weight and justify their hopes on fair grounds,” adding that the journey should be raucous free and violence should be shunned.

“Government, politicians, electorates, electoral bodies, observers, securities, all have a cogent and pivotal role to play in ensuring the journey is successful and hitch-free,” Bakare said.

According to him, “Project LOUD goals and objectives are set in accordance with good vision and mission of All Progressives Congress contestants, the vision geared towards progress and development for the country and in the interest of the citizens alone”.

Adding that the love for the country should be paramount and be made to suppress others aspirations, “we should disallow doubling the wealth of naysayers and bad wishes by comporting ourselves in the right direction”.

Saying the group was officially endorsing all the APC candidates, the convener said, “ostensibly, the change maker (Buhari/Osinbajo) is here with another next level of moving Nigeria forward to the desired level of recognition in political development and sustainable society.

“Sanwo-Olu is all about good governance, an all inclusive government, a listening government that would listen to everybody and respond swiftly,  a Lagos that would be good for all”, he said.

Speaking on mobilizing and sensitizing voters especially at the grassroots, he said there are already structures in place in all the 57 local councils in the State and that by December 1 when governorship campaigns kick off they will all go into action.

He called on all voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, “obviously it is less than 90 days, the country would be ready to elect new leaders, as such, as law abiding citizens, it is imperative for us to have our our Permanent Voters Card for the purpose of positive next level in the country”.
