The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon. Kehinde Bamigbetan, has given reasons why the All Progressives Congress (APC) deserved re-election in the state.
Bamigbetan, a former Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area, made this known Tuesday at the inauguration of campaign teams for APC candidates.
The commissioner warned against returning the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to power, referring to the PDP’s rule at the Federal level between 1999 and 2015 as the days of “darkness”.
He said, “We are aware that the general elections are near. On February 16, we shall go to the polls to elect our president, our senator, our members of the House of Representatives. On March 2, we shall return to the polling booths to elect our governor and members of the House of Assembly.
“We have to go out and engage the people and convince them that the candidates of our party are the best servants who can serve them. This is why we have created a team for each candidate at each of the polling booths to be used in this election.

“It is a collective work that will continue day and night until victory is achieved. Our task is to get the votes by visiting voters and persuading them that APC is still the best choice for residents of Ejigbo.
“Our party, the APC, needs all the support it requires to accomplish this task. We are competing with over 60 parties nationwide and no fewer than 40 parties are contesting with us in the Oshodi-Isolo Constituency 2.
“In an electioneering period, such as this, it is normal for other parties to try to put down the Herculean and heroic efforts of the Asiwaju movement, which has moved from the Alliance for Democracy to the Action Congress and now the All Progressives Congress.”
