Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, has promised to back every candidate running for local government in the July 12 elections on behalf of the All Progressives Congress, or APC.

This was announced by the governor on Tuesday at the APC’s state secretariat in Ogba, Lagos, at the official kickoff of the campaign.

Sanwo-Olu, accompanied by Mrs. Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the State Government, reaffirmed the administration’s dedication to guaranteeing the party a landslide win.

57 candidates for chairmanships and 376 candidates for councillorships running under the APC banner around the state were given party flags as part of the occasion.

Speaking to party members, Sanwo-Olu said:

“The love I have for this party is unquantifiable, I am with all the candidates, this is not just an official flag off, it symbolizes the beginning of hard work and dedication.

“We are solidly behind every aspirant, we are in this together, all will be successful by God’s grace.

“As we raise these flags today, we are proud and happy. Let us remember our values and principles, we are known for being a progressive movement.

“We are not only here to win an election, we are here to change the lives of our people and continue the legacy of our President .

“We must deliver all our promises to the people. Do all you can as party faithful to ensure victory for this party,”

Prince Tajudeen Olusi, the Chairman of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), also spoke at the campaign launch and urged the party’s flagbearers to put the needs of the people first if elected.

“Youths should be on stage now and do the work of the party, because at the moment you are not at the forefront yet.

“This is an opportunity for you to promote the name of our party. It is sad today that those looking for money are many in politics, and not people who really want to serve.

“The love of our community and society should be paramount to us. Those who vied for the ticket but could get it, should be patient because there is still time and tomorrow,” Olusi said.

In order to gain support for the APC, he also exhorted the party’s young members to band together into groups and start a grassroots mobilization campaign through the streets of Lagos.

Olusi pointed out that elected officials must continue to be dedicated to providing their communities with real advantages.

Mudashiru Obasa, the speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, also emphasized the value of party unity and asked all members to follow the party’s decisions.

“The party is supreme, we must stand by the decision of the party. We must obey the party and support all our candidates. We must not fight ourselves.

” The election is a testing ground to return President Bola Tinubu in 2027 with bulky votes,” Obasa said.
