Remain calm, resist intimidation, Ambode Campaign Organisation tells supporters, party members

The Ambode Campaign Organisation (ACO) has urged supporters of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain calm and resist intimidation in the midst of the tension generated by the governorship primary for the state.

The organisation advised supporters of the governor to disregard any news of the capitulation of Governor Ambode as it would most likely be fake news

“Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has not conceded any defeat as primary election is yet to hold on Lagos State. Governor Ambode is still very much in the race and is poised to win in order to continue the good works he has been doing in the last three and half years,” the statement said.

The organisation said there are guidelines and procedures, which the National Working Committee (NWC) has insisted must be followed in conducting a credible poll. These, it said, include the usage of membership slips and membership cards by registered party members as well as the adoption of the secret ballot system which protects the electorate.

“The NWC came from Abuja with sufficient ballot papers which are yet to be distributed. As a loyal and responsible party member and a democrat, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is guided by the process announced by the party and shall await the new date of the governorship primary election. We urge all party members and our teeming supporters to remain calm and peaceful and to refuse to be intimidated,” the statement said.
