Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, has said he would lead a vigorous and robust campaign for the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari as well as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for the 2019 general elections.<\/p>\n

Ambode gave the assurance on Tuesday when he spoke to journalists at the Presidential Wing of the Muritala Mohammed International Airport.<\/p>\n

This was shortly after he accompanied President Buhari to perform the official commissioning of the new Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Border Posts at Seme-Krake joint border post in Badagry.<\/p>\n

The Governor said it was important for the APC to retain its leadership positions both in the federal and the state level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just accompanied Mr. President to the Nigerian-Benin Border Post. So what we have commissioned today is a joint Border Patrol post between Nigeria and the Republic of Benin and it is called Seme-Krake Border Post.<\/p>

\u201cBut again, just to also use this opportunity to let Lagosians know that we are heavily committed to the re-election of Mr. President and you can see that his continuous visit to Lagos reiterates the fact that he is actually a lover of Lagos State and I am committed to ensuring his re-election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to campaign heavily for him. I am also committed to ensuring that the APC wins the governorship election come 2019. We support the candidacy of Babajide Sanwo-Olu and we would make sure that APC retains Lagos State and the centre,\u201d Ambode said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Governor Ambode had received President Buhari at the airport before proceeding to Seme where the President joined his Republic of Benin counterpart, Patrice Talon, to inaugurate the Border Post.<\/p>\n

With the inauguration, the Seme-Krake joint border, one of the busiest boundary lines not only in West Africa but the whole continent, daily recording huge movement of persons, goods and services, is expected to enhance the free movement of persons and goods in the region and foster integration between the people of Nigeria and Benin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
