The Lagos East Senatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Princess Abiodun Oyefusi, says the party will dislodge the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win the state in 2019.
Oyefusi, an entrepreneur, made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.
She said the people were tired of the APC and were yearning for the PDP to bring the needed change.
Oyefusi added that with the love the people had for the candidate and the party, she had no doubt that Agbaje would win the state for PDP.
“PDP is a great party with the interest of the people at heart. If you read its manifesto, you will know that the PDP is the real party for the people.
“But it is a shame that we have never governed Lagos, but I am confident this particular time, the change is here. We have a candidate, Mr Agbaje, who is well known and liked by the people.
“Somebody who has the vision for a better Lagos. We have a candidate the people can connect with and who knows what to do for the masses.
“With this, and the growing interest the people are showing in the PDP, we are sure of victory in 2019,” she said.
Oyefusi decried what she called the poor representation of the Lagos East at the senate over the years.
She said the people of Ikorodu, Kosofe, Epe and other areas within the senatorial zone had not felt the dividends of democracy.
The PDP senatorial candidate, a daughter of the late Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Salaudeen Oyefusi, said she was seeking to represent the area in the Senate to attract development to the zone and empower the people.
