The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it will capture
Lagos in the 2019 governorship election.
The PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr Taofeek Gani, made the
assertion in Lagos.
“We will shock the All Progressives Congress (APC) by winning the
governorship election in Lagos in 2019,’’ Gani said.
According to him, 2019 will be the beginning of the end of the APC-led
government in the state.
Gani said the party had mapped out strategies to unseat the ruling
party, adding “with the new spirit in PDP in Lagos, we are sure of
winning in 2019’’.
He described the performance of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode as “dismal’’,
claiming that “Lagosians are eagerly waiting for the PDP to take over
and deliver purposeful leadership’’.
The party’s spokesman added: “We will shock the APC in 2019, take my
words, we already have lots of novel ideas to wrestle them from power.
“For now, we will keep our strategies sealed, when the game starts, we
will unleash them.
“Ambode has failed in purposeful governance, what we see is propaganda
and project planet, the people desire change, which is PDP.”
According to him, the party has successfully resolved its internal
crisis and is working assiduously to ensure a successful primary in
the state.
Gani described recent media report on the defection of 1500 PDP
members to the APC in the state as mere propaganda.
“It is laughable to hear that 1500 PDP members decamped to APC in
Oshodi, this is outrageous propaganda.
“I am from Oshodi-Isolo, the area remains the strongest nest of PDP,
we won all elective offices in the 2015 general elections, in spite
the presence of the APC state chairman in the area,’’ he said.
He said the party would also embark on aggressive membership drive in
2018 to position itself for victory.
