Speaking with newsmen, Sanwo-Olu, who pledged to operate an all-inclusive government if elected into office, come 2019, enjoined all aggrieved members to work towards the victory of the party both at the state and the federal.

The governorship candidate said he had already extended an olive branch to every member who felt cheated or shortchanged at the just-concluded party primaries to enable APC to work as a team and achieve victory at the polls, noting that any victory recorded in 2019 would not be for him alone but all members of the party.

Also speaking, Salvador, the South-West DG, Campaign for Buhari/Osinbajo, who also appealed to the aggrieved members to sheath their swords, said the challenge before him was to make sure Sanwo-Olu won a landslide in the state and also to ensure President Buhari was returned into office in the coming polls.

“The challenge before me is to make sure Sanwo-Olu wins in Lagos State with a landslide victory and President Buhari is returned. It is an assignment given to me and I can assure you that it will be delivered,” he said.

Salvador, who is the immediate past chairman of Lagos chapter of PDP, said he believed the APC had not been able to maximize its capacity, assuring that he would bring his experience to bear to ensure that the party performed maximally at the forthcoming elections by recording nothing less than 2 million votes.
