Dedicated Supporters of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode on Sunday in Lagos embarked on solidarity rally to reassure the public on their commitment to the election of the governorship candidate of the APC, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in the 2019 general elections.
Leader of the delegation and Director General of AMSG, Mr Akeem Sulaimon, said the walk was done to remind the public of the commitment of Gov. Ambode to the victory of the APC in 2019 elections at all levels across the state.
Sulaimon said it was also vital for we all to know that Ambode had truly accepted the choice of the party, adding that any information saying otherwise was false.
”We are here because a lot of people lately seem to be talking for our principal, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, claiming to be representing his interest and we need to let the whole world know that if anyone will represent his interests, it can only be those of us that belong to his campaign.
”His Excellency, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, is a man of God; he is a man who believes that the party is supreme; he is a man who has accepted the choice and the position of the party.
”He has accepted that Babajide Sanwo-Olu is the candidate of our great party, APC and he has equally been mobilising not just members of his group but he has been mobilising the party to ensure victory for Sanwo-Olu come 2019,” he said.
He said Ambode is a loyal party man, would not do anything to “rock the boat.”
”We are organising this to show to Lagosians and Nigerians that our principal bears no grudge; he has no ill feelings.
”If he had wanted to fight at that time, he could have fought and so if he did not fight then, why would anybody be insinuating that he wants to fight now?
”We are here to let you know that he is not fighting. The governor’s directive to us is that we should all go out and mobilise for Mr Sanwo-Olu.
”Irrespective of how things might have happened, the governor has equally benefited from the party and he says that he will not destroy the party that he has benefited from,” Sulaimon said.
