FLASH: The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation has described the 11 Northern All Progressives Congress Governors as worthy patriots for their decision to support power shift to the South.
The campaign organisation in a press statement on Sunday, signed by its Director of Media and Communication, Mr. Bayo Onanuga noted that all lovers of peace, progress, equity, justice and stability of Nigeria should celebrate and honour the Northern APC Governors.
The 11 Governors of APC from the North in a press statement endorsed by them on Saturday announced that they took a decision to support the next President of Nigeria from the South after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari in the best interest of the country.
The Leading Aspirant is on ground …. Govenor @jidesanwoolu is here at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena (Onikan Stadium) for the Lagos APC Governorship Primaries.
The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to a video circulating online showing officials of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and the Environmental and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) at Alaba-Rago Market.
The video is accompanied by a voice, which is not that of any official of the two agencies. The voice is that of a faceless blogger trying to whip up ethnic and political sentiments over the planned relocation of traders for the remodelling of Alaba Rago Market.
The video is authentic because Commander, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi and Chairman, Lagos State Task Force, CSP Shola Jejeloye, were in Alaba Rago last Thursday to brief the traders on the planned relocation.
