Ambode, Tinubu & Sanwo-Olu. |
The
Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has this afternoon during a press
conference accepted defeat from the recently held Governorship Primaries of the
All Progressives Congress, APC which had him and former Commissioner, Mr.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu as contenders.
After
the primaries, the governor lost to the preferred candidate of the party,
Babajide Sanwo-Olu and has to address the press to congratulate him and
officially accept the verdict of the result that emanated from that election.
Below
is the address by the governor this afternoon.
Fellow
Lagosians, the last few days have witnessed intense political activities that
have gripped the attention of the nation and created palpable tension in the
polity. I strongly believe that the time has now come for the State to move
forward in order that the gains of the last three and half years are not
lost.
Dear
Lagosians, APC is a great party and the interests of our beloved State must
always supercede that of any person or group. It is in this regard that I
wholeheartedly congratulate the winner of the Lagos State APC Primaries, Mr.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu and urge all Lagosians to immediately support our party’s
gubernatorial candidate in the 2019 elections and work for the success of our
dear party.
As
Governor, I will do everything possible to ensure a smooth transition in the
remaining period of this administration and ultimately to the new Governor,
come May 2019.
I
therefore appeal to all our party members that we remain one family and unite
behind the candidate of the party, so that we can continue to move this state
forward.
The
progress of Lagos state is non-negotiable. It is a project that I have
passionately worked for in the last three and half years as your Governor and
one to which I will forever be devoted.
I
wish to use this opportunity to thank our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, and the leadership of our great party at state and national levels, all
party faithfuls and all Lagosians.
I
thank all Lagosians for their faith and trust in me. I urge you not to relent
in your support for our party as we prepare for the General Elections.
