“We are marching forward, we are waxing stronger, Mr Sanwo-Olu will win the election, he has the capacity, he has the experience, he has the wherewithal to reposition Lagos state” no doubt about it, Sanwo-Olu is the next governor, the statement quoted Sodehinde.

“Ibrahim Yusuf, who is also the organising secretary of the All progressives Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom said that with our recent collaboration, it is obvious that the Progressives in the United Kingdom are ready to take the lead in the forthcoming campaign of the APC Gubernatorial candidate.

“All the progressive minded people of Lagos state have now queued behind the APC candidate, and ready to put in their best to ensure his success in the election scheduled to be held in 2019, says Yusuf.”
