The All Progressive Congress APC has informed its 57 Chairmanship candidates not to work in isolation but to carry their VIce-Chairmen along since it is a joint ticket.
This medium gathered that the Lagos State Party Chairman of All Progressive Congress Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi made this assertion during the flag off ceremony in preparation of the council election at the party secretariat in Lagos.
“I want you to realize that you have a vice chairman. Your vice chairman is a joint ticket. Carry your Vice Chairman along in everything you are doing. If you are traveling out of the country, hand over to your vice chairman, it is very very important.
“The person will monitor you. Aside from the oversight function that is going to be conducted by Lagos State House of Assembly. You are representing us, you are carrying our banner, and logo.
“The fact that you are carrying our banner, we owe it a responsibility to monitor you and see what you are doing.
“Give the leaders their full respect in your respective local governments. You can’t have the experience they have gotten in all ramifications, share your views with them, share what you intend to do with them, they will be able to guide you very well.
“If you listen to them, am pretty sure you will be able to win the heart of the voters. This is a real election, we are going all out into this election. Any Chairmanship candidates or councilorship candidates found wanting in reaching out, knocking at the door, soliciting for support, soliciting for votes, we will sanction such a candidate.
“I want to plead that you work with your party Chairman, work with the LOC, work with the canvassers. We are going to appoint canvassers that are going to do the job as expected. Like I said it is not going to be business as usual”.
