Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called on APC chairmanship and councillorship candidates in the upcoming July 12 Local Government Elections not to underestimate the importance of the polls.

He made this appeal on Tuesday while presenting APC flags to all the party’s candidates during a stakeholders meeting.

Sanwo-Olu urged party leaders and candidates to put in their best efforts to reaffirm APC’s stronghold in the state, emphasizing the need for unity and collective support for the party’s success in the elections.

“We are here because our father and leader, President Bola Tinubu, has asked me to come and thank all for holding his base very well.

“We must work the way we ought to do it, showcase and validate our strength in Lagos, and ensure that APC is a party to be proud of. Knock all doors and seek votes.

“Every election is local, don’t take anything for granted. Go and work, engage with the people, touch the people, let the people see those they want to vote for,” Sanwo-Olu said.

The governor said the party is united, regardless of different political affiliations and outcomes of the primaries.

According to him, there would always be issues when so many people are vying for positions, urging all aggrieved to take the party decision as supreme.
