The Senate Minority Whip, Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon, has reiterated his commitment and that of his mass supporters to the All Progressives Congress.
Solomon said despite the fact that he lost the governorship primaries of the APC to Akinwunmi Ambode, he would not quit the party.
Rather, he promised to work with Ambode to ensure the success of the party in the 2015 general election.
Speaking on Tuesday in Ikeja while addressing his supporters, Solomon, one of the 12 governorship aspirants who participated in the December 4, 2014 governorship primaries in the state, said he has accepted the result in good faith.
He said: “Let us just say it is the will of God and we have accepted our fate.”
The Senate Minority Whip stated further that organising the primaries to pick the party’s candidates was an indication that the party was moving forward.
He said the fact that the party did not impose a candidate was a sign of progress.
Solomon said: “We insisted on primaries and you will all agree with me that the primaries organised by the party this year is a clear positive departure from what we used to have in the past, though there are complaints in some.
“We will surely get there.
“It is step by step.”
Solomon reiterated that he and his supporters will not leave the APC.
He vowed they will work for the party and its candidates.
He said: “In a contest of two or more jostling for one ticket, some person will surely win, irregularities or not.
“We will not leave APC and we will continue to work for the party’s candidates in the coming election.
“We remain committed party members therefore we will continue to participate in its activities.
“Go back to your wards, remain in our great party, participate in its activities and continue to work for the success of our party.”
