As the nation prepares for the April 11 governorship and state houses of assembly election on Saturday, eight political parties have endorsed the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos, Mr Jimi Agbaje.
The parties include the United Party of Nigeria, UPN, Alliance for Democracy, AD, All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Accord Party, AP and African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Others are the Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA, Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, National Conscience Party, NCP.
The leaders of the party, at a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, said they would work rigorously for Agbaje’s emergence as governor of the state in Saturday’s election.
Speaking on behalf of others, Mr Femi Ikuomola of UPN enjoined the youths to vote for credible candidates in the election, irrespective of threat from any quarter.
Ikuomola said: “All the eight political parties hereby pledge allegiance, their total support and unanimously endorse Jimi Kolawole Agbaje, the PDP flag bearer in the April 11 governorship election in Lagos state.”
On the alleged threat by the Oba of Lagos to non-indigenes to vote All Progressives Congress, APC, or drown in the Lagoon, the parties appealed to traditional rulers to desist from endorsing candidates and focus on their traditional role of protecting the culture of their people.
Ikuomola said: “Any royal father that is interested in politics should renounce his rulership and venture into full politics.”
