Dayo Israel, national youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says political appointees in Lagos state who fail to deliver their wards during the gubernatorial election will have themselves to blame. <\/p>\n

Israel read the riot act to the appointees after APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, was defeated in Lagos by his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi. <\/p>\n

Results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) showed APC got 572, 606 while LP polled 582, 354 votes to win the state.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the election is considered by many as a blow to Tinubu and the APC\u2019s perceived grip on the state.<\/p>\n

Babajide Sanwo-Olu is seeking re-election as governor of Lagos. He will battle other guber candidates to retain his office on March 11.<\/p>\n

In a Twitter post on Monday, Israel said political appointees in the state who fail to deliver the governor\u2019s re-election bid in their respective wards should forget their appointments.<\/p>\n

The APC national youth leader, in the now-deleted post, also called on the political appointees to begin a door-to-door campaign for Sanwo-Olu ahead of the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny appointee in Lagos who doesn\u2019t deliver his ward on the 11th March should not bother coming to Alausa on the 13th. Everyone should drop their tinted car and start walking the street. Knock on your neighbours door, beg those you need to beg, make peace. Deliver for #Sanwoolu,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nobody should do \u2018One-million-man march\u2019 Oribu kan mo. Focus on door-to-door. Party excos, youth leaders, councillors, leaders, we have 10days to #SanwoAgain, go and engage your neighbours. #deliveryourstreet, be humble, get off your high horse. Ise wa o.\u201d<\/p>\n
