  • Alaba stands still for Ambode

    Alaba stands still for Ambode

    For the first time ever, traders of the Igbo-dominated Alaba International Market in Lagos closed their stores to express solidarity with the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, who visited the popular market on Saturday.

    Accompanied by Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, and other APC chieftains, Ambode was greeted with cheers from the excited traders, as his train moved through the market.

    One of the leaders of the Industrial Market Union of the Alaba Market said the decision to close their shops to gather in support of Ambode, was borne out of their unanimous resolve to contribute to the sustained progress and prosperity of Lagos.

    Ambode expressed appreciation for the outpouring of support from the traders, while promising a Lagos where dividends of governance will be provided to residents of the state without discrimination.

    He said, “With the APC government at the centre, our economy is set to get a boost, and infrastructure is also set for a remarkable rise. But you know what, Lagos State has been our home, and we will largely benefit from this possibility only when we all vote for the APC at all levels in the state elections. It will be for the good of your businesses, your livelihood and further prosperity.”

    While urging the traders to vote for the APC governorship candidate, Osinbajo commended them for the massive turnout, and tasked them to shun any form of ethnic bias ahead of the gubernatorial elections in the state.

    “Bad governance doesn’t know tribes or religion, and fortunately, this is the same for good governance. Vote for the APC, vote for Ambode, to ensure that Lagos grabs this opportunity to get to a level where every Nigerian in Lagos will enjoy,” Osinbajo said.
