Members of the House of Representatives on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, from Lagos State, on Sunday endorsed Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as their candidate in the party’s governorship primary in the state.
NAN reports that 16 members of the House of Representatives from Lagos, led by Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, were in attendance at a briefing called to endorse the aspirant.
Speaking on behalf of the lawmakers, Gbajabiamila urged party members to vote for Sanwo-Olu in the primary election.
On why he endorsed him, Gbajabiamila said: “Sanwo-olu has rich pedigree, intimidating credentials. We have sat down and decided on Sanwo-Olu.
‘We have given him our support for tomorrow because he has the best potential to take Lagos to higher levels.
“Members of the house look at things dispassionately, deliberate and take decisions.
“We endorsed Ambode in the past when he was the sole aspirant and was performing well. But politics is dynamic.
“Today, we believe in Sanwo-Olu and we encourage our members to vote for him.”
He, however, urged party members to remain united, no matter the outcome of the APC governorship primary in the state scheduled for Monday, Oct. 1.
