The Goodluck/Sambo Campaign Support Team, Lagos on Wednesday staged a
road show as part of efforts to drum up support for the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The road show, led by former
Minister of State for Defence, Sen Musliu Obanikoro, kicked off around
9a.m. from the Costain Area of Western Avenue in Surulere, terminating
at Mile 12 area Ikorodu Road in the afternoon.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that over 20 trucks and numerous buses, among
other vehicles were used to convey supporters as they danced all through
the route.
Thousands of supporters were on foot, dancing and
displaying umbrellas, a situation which slowed down vehicular movement
on the route for hours.
Addressing newsmen after the show,
Obanikoro said that the crowd attested to the fact that most people in
Lagos state want President Jonathan re-elected.
“I was shocked by those who dropped what they were doing to join the show, which became a kind of movement, to pass a message.
“The
people have shown their support for continuity and for a change in
governance in Lagos that will give human face to policies.
“We
are doing this to create more awareness on the need for the people of
Lagos to shun propaganda and vote for the right candidates,” Obanikoro
said. (NAN)
