Honourable Jude Emeka Idimogu, the member, representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2 in the Lagos State House of Assembly has spoken on sundry issues relating to the forthcoming general election and has appealed to residents of the state of South East extraction to support the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government and vote for the party at the forthcoming general elections.

Idimogu also enjoined the Federal Government to address the issues surrounding currency redesigning and the lingering fuel scarcity in the country.

Speaking on whether the recent developments will affect the APC in the general elections, he said "If we manage it well, but the way it is, it’s not good enough for us and for everybody. I want to appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the APC grows bigger than it is or else the country would be in crisis. If the APC loses this election, then the party would no longer exist.

"There are four groups that formed the party. The first one is Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), where President Muhammadu Buhari came from. The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) produced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. These are the two major blocks, others are there too. From the feelers we have, we heard that other factions do not want to support the ACN.

"They are behaving like children from the same father, but different mothers. We are not saying that the President should support him obviously, but it’s his party. If the party did not work well for him, would he have been president today? He should not say he does not want to support anyone, is he an island? Is he not a card-carrying member of the APC? There is nothing wrong with working for your party.

"You have a candidate, who is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Even if he is not your choice, that is how God wants it now. The leaders should close ranks. As long as we are all in the APC, we should work for our candidate irrespective of any camp he is coming from," he said. (Story adapted from New Telegraph)
