THE Arewa Community in Lagos State has promised to hold a mega rally for
the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, in the coming 2019 governorship election in Lagos State.
The group stated that the action was part of the efforts to ensure victory for Sanwo-Olu as next governor of Lagos State.
The
declaration was made by the leader of the Arewa Community Support Group
for Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu (BOS), Alhaji Muhammed Alhassan who,
with some members of the group, presented a communique containing other
relevant support plans to the candidate in his Lagos office yesterday.
Alhassan
said Sanwo-Olu had won the hearts and minds of the Arewa Community in
Lagos State by his initial gesture of paying a visit to the Arewa
Council of Chiefs.
He also noted that the candidate had shown a
commendable sense of responsibility and appreciation, which had endeared
him to their chiefs and the entire Arewa Community in Lagos State.
“You
have demonstrated an exceptional sense of responsibility and
appreciation with your initial visit to our Council of Chiefs in this
state, who are our respectable leaders with tremendous influence on our
conduct and well-being in Lagos State.
“From that very
kind gesture and other positive things we have heard about you, we have
come here to say thank you, to present a communique with support
activities and officially declare that the Arewa Community in this state
will be giving you all the support to win the coming election and be
declared the next governor of Lagos, In Shaa Allah.
“It will also
interest you to know that we are holding a mega rally for you in Tafawa
Balewa Square in January 2019, where we will attract more voters for
you and sensitise over one million people from the Arewa Community with
Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to campaign vigorously for your victory”,
he said.
Sanwo-Olu, while appreciating the group, said the Arewa
Community in Lagos State was an important component in the
socio-economic development of the state.
He added that he would,
if elected, address all the yearnings of the community and ensure that
all the various leaders of the group are part of the deliberations
regarding education support for and improvement of their children who
are living in Lagos State.
“We thank you so much. Lagos is a home
for you all. We appreciate your contributions to the socio-economic
growth of this state. We’ve heard your concerns and demands. We promise
that we will address all the issues, including educational support for
your children here in Lagos when we are elected. Let me say it again
that ours is going to be a government of inclusiveness where we are
going to work together to achieve greater results”, he said.
