The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Mr. Olusola Babajide Sanwo-Olu has advised the residents of the state to desist from fanning the embers of disunity along tribal lines in the name of politics.

Sanwo-Olu, who stated this on Wednesday at a mega rally organized by PSP Waste Managers at the Agege Township Stadium pledged that he would run an all-inclusive administration if elected into office.

Represented at the rally by his running mate, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Sanwo-Olu urged all residents of the state to continue to live in peace despite their political or ethnic inclinations.  

“All what our party members need to do is to remind non-indigenes that since 1999, Lagos State Government has been running inclusive government; we have been paying WAEC fees for Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa without discrimination.

“In our prestigious university, we have Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba and other tribes paying the same school fees. The same procedure Igbo will follow to get land Certificate of Occupancy is what Hausa and Yoruba will follow.

“If you go to our general hospitals, we attend to people equally. So non-indigenes should take the right decision by voting for Babajide Sanwo-Olu for continuity of good governance.

“All we need to do is to keep reminding them what they stand to gain when they vote for APC; I’m sure they will support us and vote for us,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Responding on behalf of the PSP Waste Managers, who came out in large numbers, the Chairman of the Association of Waste Managers of Nigeria, Mr. Oladipo Egbeyemi assured the APC governorship candidate of their support, pledging to deliver over 500,000 votes in Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
