Former National Chairman of the
All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Victor Umeh, has called on the embattled
governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, to join the party, saying his
victory is assured.
Ambode has been reportedly having
a running battle with Aswiaju Bola Tinubu, who is the leader of his party, All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Report had it that over 50
council chairmen loyal to Tinubu, Ambode’s estranged godfather, had reportedly
met and pledged their support for Jide Sanyaolu Sanwonolu, who is believed to
be Tinubu’s preferred choice.
But Senator Umeh, who represents
Anambra Central senatorial zone during an interview with journalists on
Thursday evening, said APGA was open for Ambode to join.
He said, “That is what our party
should be doing. When we see people who have the capacity to win election, we
approach them and offer our platform.
“I want to assure Ambode that if
he joins APGA, his victory is surer. We have support in Lagos that can help him
win election.
“We are calling on Ambode to
consider APGA now and let APGA work for him.”
Umeh insisted that APGA was very
much on ground in Lagos State, and could sway enough votes to win his
reelection in 2019.
