Forget the past, vote Buhari, Sanwo-Olu - Ambode tells Epe people

- Governor Ambode urged the people of Epe, his hometown, to vote the Lagos APC governorship candidate, Sanwo-Olu, and President Buhari

- The Lagos governor urged the people to forget past events and vote massively for APC candidates for various seats

- He said it is only APC that can ensure the development of Epe division and other areas in the state

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state has urged voters in Epe to put past events before them and vote massively for President Muhammadu Buhari, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other candidates of All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure the continuity of good governance.

The governor said this on Saturday, December 8, in Epe during a meeting with leaders of APC in the division, The Punch reports.

Governor Ambode urged the people to put the events before and after the APC governorship primaries in the state which produced Sanwo-Olu behind them, and truly unite for the party’s victory.

He said: “All of us are brothers and sisters because this is a close-knit community. It is now time for us to work together for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and election of Sanwo-Olu because Epe cannot afford to be left behind.

“I know that in view of what happened, some people are still aggrieved but what I want you to know is that there is no way PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) will work for the development of our division like APC. We are also all aware that for the past 16 years of PDP, they did not do anything in Epe division and it is only the APC that has been transforming Lagos and the country.

“I want to assure you that Epe will benefit more if we vote for APC. All my achievements in the last three and half years will be improved upon if Sanwo-Olu wins and so I want to urge you all to come out and vote for APC because that is how we can secure the future of our children and this division.”

Also speaking at the meeting, deputy governorship candidate of APC in the state, Obafemi Hamzat thanked Ambode and all the leaders in the division, saying the governor displayed unusual maturity and character which confirmed that he is a man with a large heart.

“I want to thank Governor Ambode for being a man with a large and great heart. What you are doing is unusual and I want to assure you that you have a future and that future will be very soon. We will do everything to protect your interest and that of Epe division.

“Governor Ambode has done his best and we will do our best to continue with his legacies and build on what the governor has done to further develop our dear state,” Hamzat said.

Meanwhile, Sanwo-Olu, officially launched his campaign on December 8. He addressed thousands of party supporters in Kosofe local government area.

The rally drew people from all the 16 LGAs and local council development areas in Lagos East senatorial district.

Speaking before a crowd of ecstatic supporters, Sanwo-Olu reiterated his pledge to run an all-inclusive government if elected, stressing that his government would listen to the wishes of all Lagosians.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Ambode ordered the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and all the relevant security agencies to henceforth strictly enforce the provisions of the state traffic laws to bring about sanity on the roads.

Ambode also ordered the state attorney-general and the justice ministry to immediately increase the number of mobile courts in the state to 20 to summarily prosecute traffic offenders to serve as deterrent to others who might want to indulge in the violation of traffic laws.

The governor spoke after a strategic session with LASTMA leadership and heads of other security agencies in the state to address the traffic situation and the unfortunate killing of an officer of the state recently.

Ambode said the state government would not fold its arms and allow the violation of the laws, hence the decision to order enforcement of the laws with immediate effect.
