Olorogun-Etti canvasses second term
for Ambode
A chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Chief Babatunde Olorogun-Etti on Sunday said Lagos State
Governor, Akinwumi Ambode would not only contest the 2019 governorship election
but will also win convincingly .
“Performance and delivery on the
ground will matter in 2019 elections” he said on Sunday.
Olorogun-Etti spoke at some length
in Lagos Island on Governor Ambode's role in the economic development and
social progress of Lagos State.
He also hit at the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos chapter, declaring the party dead in the state.
“The Lagos PDP is a hot-bed for
charlatans” he said.
The former PDP chieftain praised the
Lagos State governor for providing the needs of the people, modernizing
governance and transforming the state.
“Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode has created the "Lagos miracle."
Olorogun-Etti also praised the
former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu for piloting the All
Progressives Congress (APC) along the path of greatness in Nigeria.
Olorogun-Etti, leader of Eko United,
a major political group in the state attributed the poor performance of PDP in
Lagos State to the selfish ambition of some individuals.
“There is no internal democracy in
Lagos PDP. There is a feeling of alienation and exclusion.”
Olorogun-Etti cited in-fighting,
irreconcilable differences with the leadership of the PDP in Lagos State, the
stronghold of a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Bode
George, the party’s poor performance at the 2015 polls and the inspirational
leadership of Senator Bola Tinubu as reasons for quitting the party.
“We are still a year away from the
next general elections in 2019. PDP can no longer compete in Lagos State.”
Olorogun-Etti said the result of the
last local government election in the state was a “great demonstration of the
strength of the governor and the ruling party.”
“Governor Ambode's marvelous
performance in office contributed greatly to the party’s performance in the
last local government election in the state” he said.
“Lagosians have recognized the good
work going on in the name of development” he added.
