A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has expressed confidence that the party’s strategic alliance with the Labour Party in Saturday’s council polls will produce good results.
He said in order to perform excellently, the PDP stepped up campaign and grassroots mobilisation after the Supreme Court judgment which favoured the Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee,
George told newsmen at the Murtala Mohammed Airport 2, Lagos on Wednesday that the authentic Executive in Lagos State recognised by the Caretaker Committee was the one led by Chief Moshood Salvador, his Deputy, Chief Ola Apena and the Secretary, Prince Muiz Dosunmu.
The chieftain said: ”As part of our strategy of confronting the present challenges, we have decided here in Lagos to implement a PDP and Labour Party Alliance for this Saturday’s local government election.
”It is a necessary recourse which has been authorised and blessed by the National Caretaker Committee.
“My appeal now is to all our loyal members and all the electorate in Lagos State to please go out en masse and vote for our candidates under the Labour Party platform.
“This is the platform of truth and liberation. This is the platform that is people centered. This is the platform that cares about the weak, about the poor, about everyone else who wants a better and improved governance in our state of excellence.
“It is a wonderful time in the life of our great party. The PDP is back. Our long nightmare is over. The good Lord is on the side of the righteous. The truth is back on the saddle.
“We are ready for the Nigerian people. We are prepared to play the assertive role of responsible opposition. We are repositioning ourselves for the new challenges”.
