The senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District, Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon, has asked Lagosians to come out en masse on Saturday to partake in the governorship and state House of Assembly elections.
Solomon, popularly known as GOS, in a statement on Tuesday, said there was the need for a repeat performance of the March 28, 2015 elections in the state where his party, the All Progressives Congress, emerged victorious.
He reminded the people of the state that the battle was not over until the votes are cast in this weekend’s elections.
He said the battle was yet to be won until the APC’s governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, and those for the House of Assembly were voted into power, stressing the need for consolidation.
The statement by Solomon, titled: “Lagos, Let’s Do It Again!” reads in full: “On Saturday, March 28, our great party, the APC made history at the presidential poll with General Muhammadu Buhari emerging the next president of the country. The victory was well deserved after a long haul of political warfare. But the battle is not over yet.
“This Saturday, April 11 has been slated for the governorship election and Lagos cannot afford to play the opposition at a period the APC is the government at the centre.
“This time in Lagos, continuity is both constructive and imperative and in fact, sacrosanct because it can only be sustained by the APC – tested and trusted.
“Let’s Vote Akinwunmi Ambode for governor and all the APC candidates for the state assembly. A consolidation of the gains so far is not negotiable and the future cannot be put away inexplicably. Let’s do it again, Lagos.
“APC…Change!!!”
