PDP can't win Lagos in 2019- APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on
Wednesday described the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) as “a dead party, not capable of
capturing Lagos in 2019.”
The Assistant Publicity Secretary of the APC in
the state, Mr. Abiodun Salami, stated this during
a chat with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos.
Salami was reacting to a claim by the Publicity
Secretary of PDP in the state, Mr. Taofik Gani,
that the party would capture Lagos in 2019.
Gani had said 2019 would be the beginning of the
end of APC administration in the state as the
party was sure of dislodging the ruling party.
He had claimed that Lagosians were tired of the
“non-performance of APC government “and were
eagerly waiting to vote PDP.
“We will shock the APC in 2019. Take my words.
We already have a lot of novel ideas to wrestle
governance from them.
“For now, we will keep our strategies sealed.
When the game starts, we will unleash them.
“Ambode has failed in purposeful governance. The
only thing we see is propaganda. Lagosians
desire a change, and that change is PDP,” Gani
had said.
But Salami described his comments as laughable,
saying PDP had been completely decimated and
have no capacity to make any impact in the
governorship election, let alone winning.
He dismissed the assertion as “empty boast,”
saying Lagosians knew the difference between
light and retrogression and would continue to
vote the APC.
“The assertion made by the PDP that it would
win the state in 2019 is a huge joke. In fact it is
laughable.
“How do they want to achieve that? The party
has been deserted and left for dead by Lagosians.
“A party where virtually all their bigwigs, such as
Musiliu Obanikoro and others had deserted
because they have seen the light and are now in
the fold of APC,” Salami stated.
