The All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter praised the youth on Saturday for their large turnout at the rally in support of Sen. Bola Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shetima, the party’s presidential nominee.
The Eko Youth Walk, organized by Tinubu support groups, started at Maryland at 7 a.m., saw youths walk through Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Joel Ogunaike Str., Oba Akinjobi Str., and ended at Police College, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The walk was also to throw support for the reelection of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his running mate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, in 2023 general elections.
The Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, in a statement, said the party acknowledged and was motivated by the turnout of the youth to throw support for the APC candidates.
The success of the rally is a clear statement and demonstration of the preference of our teeming youths as regards the choices before them.
It underscores a clear understanding of the manifesto of our presidential candidate which is essentially a commitment to youth development, empowerment and a guarantee of a bright future under a progressive government.
The support for Sanwo-olu /Hamzat is a vote of confidence in a promising second term as a result of a highly successful first term of office.
It is note-worthy that the youths mobilised human and material resources towards the success of the rally, to harness their collective strength towards a great cause, Oladejo said.
The spokesman said that the party equally appreciated “the contributions of the womenfolk, artisans, market men and women and other stakeholders towards our common lofty goals.”
He urged all and sundry to remain undaunted as the nation was counting down to 2023 elections.
The rally, after the walk, shifted to Police College, Ikeja GRA.
