All Progressives Congress (APC)
national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday met with leaders of the
National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos state.
Notable among those in attendance
were state Treasurer of the Union, Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo).
MC Oluomo was attacked at an APC
rally in Ikeja on January 8, and was immediately taken to Eko Hospital,
following injuries he sustained.
The
meeting, which held at the former governor’s residence in Ikoyi, Tinubu called
for peace before, during and after the governorship and state houses of
assembly elections.
He said Lagos being a
cosmopolitan city should always be seen in a positive light and must not
witness violence in any form.
The APC leader also urged the
union chieftains to call their members across the state to order.
Violence was recorded in some parts
of Lagos during the February 23 elections.
Also, there was tension in
certain areas of the metropolis over alleged threat to Igbos over election
matters.
The battle in Lagos is between
APC’s Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Jimi
Agbaje.
Last week, Tinubu ordered the
party leaders in Lagos State to ensure the party secures maximum votes on
Saturday.
Speaking to stakeholders after a
closed-door meeting with members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, GAC, at
the secretariat of the Independent Campaign Group, in Ikeja GRA, he lambasted
party chieftains for failing to deliver maximally during the presidential and
National Assembly polls.
