A chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress APC, Chief Razak Lanre, has countered claims by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP would win Lagos gubernatorial election in 2023.
Governor Makinde had at a reconciliation meeting hinted that the APC should prepare for defeat in 2023.
Razak, who is a member of the Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council GAC, however disagreed with Makinde, stating that the level of achievements in the last two decades would make it impossible for the PDP to defeat the APC in any 2023 elections in the state.
In a session with journalist at the weekend, Razak explained that the electorates, since the return of democratic rule in 1999, have voted only honest and selfless leaders who were committed to delivering god governance for the greater good of the majority.
“Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had tried in vain in 2003 and 2007.
“The achievements of the current administration in less than one year into its four-year mandates, which have impacted meaningfully on the people, will make it almost impossible for the PDP to win even a councillorship seat in future elections. He said.
Razak further urged Lagosians to support the state government through prompt payment of taxes and rates, obedience to traffic and sanitation laws and report criminal activities to security agencies to maintain the current peace and security across the state.
