The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party has told Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State that it will send Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, packing in 2023.
The party was reacting was at the endorsement of Sanwo-Olu for second term by Governor Wike during his visit to Lagos.
The party, in a statement on Tuesday by its Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, said “I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support Jandor and at the same time couldn’t stop him from picking the party ticket in Lagos, despite Wike’s supposed might within the PDP, would apportion to himself the decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election.
He added, “While we won’t but acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which have witnessed influx of other state chief executives including Sanwo-Olu for commissioning, it is worrisome that Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the commissioning of ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as Governor.”
“My dear Governor and leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu jobless and send him to the club of former Governors next year.”
Reiterating that ” Only God, who has seen Jandor and Lagos PDP this far, and the generality of Lagosians, can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not your endorsement”
Amode stressed that Lagos State PDP will continue to sell breath of fresh air agenda to Lagosians with the promise of a better tomorrow.
Recall , Wike at a function on Tuesday in Lagos said any political party contesting with Sanwo- Olu in next year election would be wasting it’s time and resources owing to the numerous achievements of the governor.
