Forget The Past, Work For Buhari, Sanwo-Olu’s Victory, Ambode Urges Epe Division

…Says Lagos Stands To Gain More By Voting All APC Candidates

…Lagos Gov, A Man With Large Heart – Hamzat

Lagos
State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday urged voters in Epe
Divison to vote enmasse for candidates of All Progressives Congress
(APC) across board to ensure the continuation of the good works of the
party both in the State and in the country at large.

Governor
Ambode, who spoke during a meeting with leaders of APC in the division
which was called at his instance and held at Jubilee Chalet in Epe, said
it was time for the people to put events before and after the APC
governorship primaries in the State which produced Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu
as the gubernatorial candidate of the party behind them, and truly
unite for the party’s victory.

Addressing the gathering which was
well attended by all APC leaders in the division, Governor Ambode said
it became imperative for him to meet with them to let them know that all
members must submit to the decision of the party.

“All of us are
brothers and sisters because this is a close-knit community. It is now
time for us to work together for the re-election of President Muhammadu
Buhari and election of Mr. Sanwo-Olu because Epe cannot be left behind.

“I know that in view of what happened, some people are still aggrieved
but what I want you to know is that there is no way PDP (Peoples
Democratic Party) will work for the development of our division like
APC. We are also all aware that for the past sixteen years of PDP, they
did not do anything in Epe division and it is only the APC that has been
doing something for Lagos and for the country.

“I want to
assure you that Epe will benefit more if we vote for APC. All my
achievements in the last three and half years will be improved upon if
Sanwo-Olu wins and so I want to urge you all to come out and vote for
APC because that is how we can secure the future of our children and
this division.

Also speaking at the meeting, Deputy Governorship
candidate of APC in the State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat thanked Governor Ambode
and all the leaders in the division, saying the Governor displayed
unusual maturity and character which eloquently confirmed that he is a
man with large heart.

“I want to thank Governor Ambode for being a
man with a large and great heart. What you are doing is unusual and I
want to assure you that you have a future and that future will be very
soon. We will do everything to protect your interest and that of Epe
division.

“Governor Ambode has done his best and we will do our
best to continue his legacies and build on what the Governor has done to
further develop our dear State,” Hamzat said.

Among those that
attended the meeting are Hamzat, Senator representing Lagos East at the
upper legislative chamber, Gbenga Ashafa; member of House of
Representatives representing Epe, Hon Wale Raji; Chief Lanre Razaq,
former Speakers – Adeyemi Ikuforiji and Jokotola Pelumi; Alhaji Akanni
Seriki Bamu, among others.
