Governorship aspirant in Lagos State,
Sen. Musliu Obanikoro (PDP), on Friday
promised to wrest power from the APC-
controlled government in the state in
2015.
Obanikoro, the immediate past Minister of
State for Defence, stated this in Lagos
while addressing supporters and members
of the state executive of the party.
He was at the secretariat with supporters
to declare his intention to seek the party’s
ticket for the 2015 governorship polls in
the state.
The former minister told party faithful
that he was the only person among the
aspirants that could wrest power from the
APC government in the state.
“It is time to liberate Lagos. This state
has been ruled by one man for the past
16 years”, he said.
He urged members of the party to unite
towards winning the 2015 elections in the
state.
Obanikoro said: “Experience can never be
purchased. I can tell you that only those
who have served in government can make
meaningful change.
“Those who don’t have experience cannot
make meaningful change, they will only go
there to start learning governance and we
don’t need an apprentice governor in
Lagos”, he said.
Chairman of PDP in the state retired
Capt. Tunji Shelle, promised that the
party’s primaries would be free and fair.
“No aspirant will be imposed on the
party’’, Shelle said. (NAN)
