Countdown to the 2015 governorship election in Lagos State, the aspiration of Tayo Ayinde, one of the front-line aspirants of the All Progressives Congress, APC, got a major boost Weekend, as four renowned socio-political groups in the state have thrown their weight behind Ayinde, ahead of the party’s primaries billed for December 4.
The groups- New Hope, NH; Asiwaju Youth Alliance, AYA; Progressives Movement, PM and Asiwaju For Life, AFL, known for their robust membership cutting across the entire 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas in the state, gave Ayinde a morale booster by collapsing their structures, to Asiwaju-Ayinde For Life, AAFL.
Describing the governorship hopeful, as a bright and vibrant personality, who has the capacity, experience and knowledge required to take Lagos to the next level of development, Hon. Abraham Iroko, former Chairman, Badagry LGA and leader of one of the groups, noted that their decision to form an alliance is a collective one to be stronger and better to confront the tasks ahead of them.
Similarly, the President, Asiwaju For Life, Mrs. Ola Williams, pointed that her decision to collaborate with other groups to support the governorship ambition of Ayinde was owing to his political experience and clean records as a Senior Officer of State Security Service, adding that he knows and understands the party structures, as well as respects party leaders and members.
Meanwhile, Ayinde, who thanked members of the political groups, however affirmed that he will not disappoint Lagosians if elected governor, adding that unlike other pretenders to the plum seat, he was in the race because he was prepared.
