The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the party is ready
to accept Lagos Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode if
he decides to jump ship.
The
Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Lagos, Taofik Gani, said, “I cannot confirm
if Mr Femi Otedola has joined us or has been given a nomination form to
contest.
“Although,
strong leaders behind his team are working towards that, but it is not
something that is official yet.
“But
the Lagos PDP will be happy to welcome Femi Otedola who is an established
businessman. He will definitely be a political asset for us as we want to win
in 2019.
“Also, we are ready to accommodate
anybody as long as that person is going to add to our interest and that is me
confirming to you that we will readily welcome Governor Ambode if he is
sent packing by the APC.
“What
I can tell you now is that the political structure of the PDP is bigger than
what the APC has. The PDP has been at the national level for 16 years; even
though APC has been controlling Lagos, we do have our numbers and structures.
With the structure we have, if we have somebody like Ambode, it will be a 100
per cent victory.”
