Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko Vanguard a group that has in the last months been calling for support of the re-election of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos for a second term in office, has called for calm and restraint among its members and well-wishers of the governor.
While receiving different organizations who besieged the group office, in search of explanations, the Co-ordinator of the group Mr Seyi Bamigbade said
that the issues in the All Peoples Congress party will be resolved
soon in favour of the incumbent governor. That more importantly is the fact
that Lagosians already have put their support in the camp of Governor Ambode
and would not go back on him.
“Ofcourse, we did not expect that the Governor would simply have a free passage without any sort of opposition even within the party. That is the beauty of democracy. All voices must be heard so it is normal that people should rise up in the party, to challenge each other. However, we already know who we want to lead us come 2019 elections and we know and believe that reason and good judgment among the people of Lagos will enable Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to grab the second term ticket.
“Our courage is also anchored on the fact that Governor Ambode has
been a working governor since he was elected and we all as Lagosians have seen
his capability. He is tested and now trusted. So we would wait for the party to
decide but we are encouraged by the fact that the elders of the party and other
good people of Lagos, will take a good judgment in favour of the incumbent
governor. But in the meantime, we call on all law abiding citizens of Lagos to
remain calm.
I pray to God to grant Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode the second term ticket by the special grace of God Amen.
