Vote APC Gov’ship candidate in Lagos, other states – Agbese

The member-elect for Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, Chief Philip Agbese, has urged his constituents living in other states of the federation to massively vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidates in Saturday’s election.

Agbese specifically urged people from his constituency living in Lagos State to vote for the reelection of the state governor, Babajide Sanwoolu, who he said has demonstrated the commitment of the APC to expanding public infrastructure that will create the enabling environment for residents of the state to run and grow their businesses.

The House of Representatives member-elect, who spoke in Abuja, also urged the people of Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency that are residents in Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Borno States to vote for APC governorship candidates in those states.

Similar to Sanwo-Olu, Nasarawa state governor Abdullahi Sule and his Borno State counterpart, Babagana Umara Zulum are seeking re-election on the platform of the APC while Uba Sani is the party’s candidate in Kaduna State.

Agbese explained that these governorship candidates have shown the capacity to accommodate the kind of representation he plans for the people of Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, which will ensure that his constituents derive economic benefits from their sojourn in these states.

He said, “We have articulated plans that will benefit Nigerians, which will also benefit the people of my constituency that are in the diaspora within Nigeria. I mean those that are not based within the physical area of the constituency. Their interest will be better served when they are in a state that is not in the opposition to the central government.

“It is on this account that I urge them to vote for the All Progressives Congress’ candidates in any state in which they are resident.

“My people are well-traveled, they are industrious, and they make an impact when they participate in politics. That is why I want them to pitch their tent with the winning side. If they sit by and allow opposition parties to win the governorship seats in the places in which they are residents then it would become tough for them to have certain leverages.”
