Dr. Obafemi Hamzat reminded the party faithful of President Muhammadu Buhari’s laudable achievements in the area of infrastructural development and human capital development.

He charged the party supporters to go all out and ensure the party’s victory on February 16th and March 2nd 2019.
‘’We must show the opposition that we remain the party of choice for millions of Nigerians and the only way we can do that is by winning convincingly in this election.’’
The State chairman, Alhaji Tunde Balogun of the APC presented Mr. Sanwo-Olu and other candidates including State House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Lagos East Senatorial candidate, Mr. Bayo Oshinowo, aka pepper the symbolic party flag.
