The chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Engr Adedeji Doherty, has congratulated the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki for his victory in the just concluded governorship election in the State.
Doherty also called on the people of Lagos State to use the October 31, 2020, bye elections for the Lagos East Senatorial District and Kosofe Constituency II House of Assembly seats to commence the end of godfatherism in the State.
He said; “On behalf of the People’s Democratic Party, Lagos Chapter, I hereby congratulate the Governor elect of Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki for the mean feat of winning the September 20, 2020 Gubernatorial Election and particularly for fighting hard and standing firm against godfatherism in Edo state.
“It would be recalled that on the 31st October 2020, there would be a bye election for the seats of the Lagos East Senatorial District and the Kosofe Constituency II House of Assembly.
“We however call on the good people of Lagos State to take part in the forthcoming elections and come out en masse to say NO to godfatherism and the continuous strangle hold of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the good people of Lagos State.
“It is also noteworthy to state that the excesses of the National Leaders of the APC has been shown to be a fluke and a mirage. These excesses can be suppressed by the collective decisions and cooperation of the good people of Lagos State.
“We, the members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State are ready to submit ourselves to the yearnings of the people.
“We promise to deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of Lagos State.
“We again remind all and sundry that our freedom from the clutches of the APC can only be realized if we come out to vote in our candidates Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi and Hon. Ademola Alebiosu on the platform of the PDP during the forthcoming elections on 31st of October, 2020.
“Once again we congratulate the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki and the entire people of Edo State on this historical national victory against the oppressors of Good Governance.
“A Vote For PDP is a Vote for Freedom!”
