Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has urged residents to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Speaking at the Lagos Sea Food Festival 2014 at the Bar Beach, Victoria Island, Fashola said supporting Ambode and the APC would ensure sustenance of programmes of his administration as well as good governance.
Noting that this year’s edition of the festival would be his last as governor, he said: “I urge you all to support the new APC governorship candidate; support him, support the party and make sure that the festival continues”.
He told the crowd of fishermen and women as well as other stakeholders at the event that “if you want this to continue, you have a role to play; you have to register and you have to collect your Permanent Voter Cards and then you can use your vote to choose what you want.
“So, if you want this Sea Food Festival to be here next year, if you want Count Down to be here next year, if you want Beach Soccer to be here next year, the only way you can get them is to vote the government which is providing these activities in Lagos. So, if you want to keep them, you must do your part. Vote APC.
“I hope that you will all do what is necessary to sustain these activities.”
Also speaking at the 10 Degree Events Centre, Oregun, venue of the fifth edition of the Youth Stakeholders’ Forum organised by the State’s IGNITE Enterprise Partnership Project in conjunction with the After School Graduate Development Centre (AGDC), Fashola said the people must do the right thing to sustain the government’s programmes.
“This intervention and several others that have uplifted the lives of unemployed youths have been made possible with taxpayers’ money.
“So if you want continuation, you know what steps to take during the next election,” the governor said.(Daily Post)
