Akinwunmi Ambode

A support group for the All Progressives Congress Lagos governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, says the shift in the general elections from February to March 28 and April 11 is a blessing to the party and the candidate.

The group said the shift had helped the candidate and the party to reach out to more people and sort some knotty issues.

The Coordinator of the group in Oshodi -Isolo Local Government Area, Chief Jide Oni, said this on Thursday during a road-show organised in support of Ambode in the area, adding that the group was sure of victory for the party.

Some of the streets visited by the group are Ajisegiri, Oyegunwa, Makinde, Olatunki Arowojobe, Deyemi, Mukadassi, Mafoluku, Ifoshi, Ikoyun, Fadu Avenu, Ailegun, among others.

Oni stated that the group, which was formed by APC governorship aspirants, had ensured better co-ordination for door-to-door campaigns and provided assistance where needed.

He said, The massive support from the residents of the state has made us to realise that we are on the right path. We have used the postponement to achieve 100 per cent success in mobilisation. We have discovered that we have more supporters than we envisaged before the postponement. We can boast now that if the elections were held today, we would have about 90 per cent of the votes.

We are embarking on more house-to-house campaign. We are also conducting awareness programmes to sensitise the electorate. We will do this till the eve of the elections.

Oni explained that the group was put together to put all hands on deck and ensure that everybody contributed effectively to the partys victory.

He said the party had recorded high-rate performance in Lagos State, adding that it could not be said of the party at the federal level.
