2019: WE’LL CAMPAIGN VIGOROUSLY FOR BUHARI, SANWO-OLU- AMBODE
Lagos
State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday said he would lead a strong
campaign to ensure victory for President Muhammadu Buhari and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship candidate in the State, Mr. Babajide
Sanwo-Olu in the 2019 general elections.
Governor
Ambode, who spoke to journalists at the Presidential Wing of the Muritala
Mohammed International Airport shortly after he accompanied President Buhari to
perform the official commissioning of the new Economic Community of West
African States (ECOWAS) Border Posts at Seme-Krake joint border post in
Badagry, said it was important for the APC to retain its leadership positions
both in the federal and the State level.
“I have
just accompanied Mr. President to the Nigerian-Benin Border Post. So what we
have commissioned today is a joint Border Patrol post between Nigeria and the
Republic of Benin and it is called Semo-Krake Border Post.
“But
again, just to also use this opportunity to let Lagosians know that we are
heavily committed to the re-election of Mr. President and you can see that his
continuous visit to Lagos reiterates the fact that he is actually a lover of
Lagos State and I am committed to ensuring his re-election.
“We are
going to campaign heavily for him. I am also committed to ensuring that the APC
wins the governorship election come 2019. We support the candidacy of
Babajide Sanwo-Olu and we would make sure that APC retains Lagos State and the
centre,” Governor Ambode said.
Earlier,
Governor Ambode had received President Buhari at the airport before the duo
proceeded to Seme where the President joined his Republic of Benin counterpart,
Patrice Talon to inaugurate the Border Post.
With the
inauguration, the Seme-Krake joint border, one of the busiest boundary lines
not only in West Africa but the whole continent, daily recording huge movement
of persons, goods and services, is expected to enhance the free movement of
persons and goods in the region and foster integration between the people of
Nigeria and Benin.
