The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that the emergence of Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will enable an easy victory for the PDP in next year’s governorship election in the state.
The party’s Publicity Secretary, Gani Taofik, said the APC and Sanwo-Olu would be beating black and blue.
The party also added that a national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, rejected the second term bid of the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, because of alleged disagreement in the sharing of the state’s resources.
He said: “We don’t see Sanwo-Olu as a threat at all in the forthcoming governorship election. In fact, we will beat him and the APC black and blue. Our candidate will win him hands down because we know that the only reason why he has been presented is to be used as a conduit pipe to siphon Lagos money.
“It is obvious and in the public domain that the disagreement between Tinubu and Ambode is because of the sharing of Lagos resources. While one insisted that he must continue to get his percentage, the other said that it cannot continue and he wants development.
“So, I think Sanwo-Olu’s emergence has made our job very easy. We will beat him black and blue.”
