Leader of the coalition, Otunba Aderemi Fatukasi, said: "The next 50 years of the state must cut a path to create a framework for leaders that are not only visionary, but also inspirational with a passion for development." Another chieftain of the coalition, Akinola Obadia, said: "This is historic.
It has never happened before in Lagos State. forty five of 58 opposition parties in the state are supporting the APC candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The coast is clear for him to win next year's election." Speaking at the endorsement ceremony, Sanwo-Olu, who was accompanied by his running mate, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat promised to appoint a Senior Special Assistant, SSA, to serve as a link between his government and the parties, if elected as governor.
Sanwo-Olu no match for us, says Lagos PDP Reacting to the endorsement, the Lagos PDP said the hurried and controversial emergence of the APC candidate is "an indelible political albatross." In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani said: "Indeed the emergence is tainted with desperation to have someone as governor who will rather fund the APC leaders.
The PDP further described Sanwoolu as "an emergency candidate that is unprepared for the job compared to the PDP candidate whose blueprint to free Lagos has been since 2006; Hence, laughable that some parties have adopted an unprepared candidate. It is not true that 40 political parties have adopted Sanwo-Olu.
