Ayu says Atiku will defeat Tinubu in 2023
Ayu admitted that although PDP’s political outlook in Lagos was before now abysmal, the excellent work done by the Jegede-led committee has increased the PDP’s electoral fortunes ahead of the 2023 general elections, Vanguard reported.
Ayu said,
“Lagos was in very bad shape before now. But because of your excellent reconciliation work, our chances of taking Lagos state have been greatly enhanced.
“We are now sure of victory. We will take Alausa, and clear the state and National Assembly seats.
“We won in Osun state. And we will repeat the feat in Lagos. I am reiterating my often-stated position that the PDP will win the presidency and at least 25 governorships across the country. And those 25 states include Lagos state. This is why we want all party members to work together.
“We defeated my good friend, the Lion of Bourdilon, H.E. Bola Tinubu, in his home-state of Osun. We now want to crown it in Lagos, his state of residence. He is already shouting it: ‘God bless PDP.’ By early next year, we will start celebrating our new 25 governors-elect, Lagos inclusive.”
Earlier, the Chairman of the Reconciliation Committee, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, thanked the party for giving him and other members the privilege to serve the party as peace ambassadors.
“And thanks to our modest efforts, Lagos looks good too. Lagos PDP is more cohesive today than when we took reconciliation there. And, by God’s grace, PDP will sweep Lagos in February next year. Lagos has never had a PDP governor, but we will change it, Come 2023.”
