2019 election: What I’ll do for Buhari, Sanwo-Olu – Gov. Ambode

The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised to campaign vigorously for President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Ambode addressed reporters at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport shortly after he accompanied Buhari to perform the official commissioning of the new Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Seme-Krake joint border post in Badagry on Tuesday.

The Governor said it is important for the APC to retain its leadership positions both at the federal and state levels.

“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,” he told reporters.

“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 will make sure that APC retains Lagos State and the centre.”
