As preparations heat up ahead of
the 2019 general elections, the Lagos governorship candidate on the platform of
All Progressives Congress, APC, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has told his counterpart in
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Jimi Agbaje, that despite the political
rivalry between them, they still need to live in harmony.
In a statement on Friday,
Sanwo-Olu said the competition should not stop them from wishing each other
well even if they would not wish each other victory at the poll.
The APC guber candidate made this
remark while cautioning the supporters of each candidate against violence and
abusive remarks that could heat up the polity before, during and after the
polls.
He said, “Fellow Lagosians.
Tomorrow, INEC lifts restrictions on campaigns for gubernatorial elections
across the country. As friends, family and political rivals go into passionate
debates during this period, tempers will rise and fall. But one thing is for
certain, we have but one Lagos.
“To our supporters, let us shun
the politics of violence, aggressive conversation, hatred and bitterness. Let
us remember that though we are divided in our choice of candidates, we are all
united in our desire to see an even greater Lagos.
“To my opponent, dear Jimi
Agbaje, I may not be able to wish you victory, but I definitely wish you well.
God bless everyone and God bless our dear Lagos State.”
