The Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State chapter, has condemned the endorsement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.
“Such action is condemnable. It is not a welcomed development at all and it is not expected of a governor of that stature, a serving governor under PDP. No matter the quarrel, whether you want Ayu to be removed, I don’t think that is the best way to handle it. As for me and all the leaders in Lagos State, we query such utterances. It is uncalled-for and unnecessary. When you are in PDP, you stand by the party,” he said.
A statement later by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, said, “I would have “expressed disappointment if Wike had attended any event with a speaking role without his usual rant of a drowning man who will clutch at straw.” Meanwhile, Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, on Tuesday, urged women to unite to elect leaders with a vision and a demonstrated commitment to the country in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
The wife of the President stated this during the 22nd National Women’s Conference organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials held in Lagos. Buhari, who joined the conference virtually, urged women to get their Permanent Voters Card and mobilise for greater participation in governance and the economy.All rights reserved.
