It was drums and funfair on Saturday, 21 January, 2023 as members of Onward Movement in particular and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ikorodu organised an annual thanksgiving party for their members and victory celebration party for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the Presidential election.
The Onward Movement is founded by the Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Sanai Agunbiade, and its main objective is to campaign and mobilise votes for all the candidates of APC in the coming general elections particularly the party’s Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the state Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.
The Convener of the group, Hon Agunbiade, while speaking on the motivation for the programme when election has not been held, told newsmen that he is confident that considering all Asiwaju has done and results of consultations across the six geo-political zones are indicators that the APC Candidate would emerge as the next President of the nation.
“Asiwaju has not sat on his laurels as an achiever, he is not leaving any stone unturned as he’s meeting everyone necessary to achieve victory at the polls and when you see the positive results of these meetings you will have no fear celebrating his victory,” he said.
To affirm his confidence, the Lagos Majority Leader asked those gathered at the event to showcase that they are not just gathered but have their PVCs ready to deliver the votes and the crowd numbering around 1000 raised their Voter’s cards up in solidarity for APC.
The Lagos Assembly Majority Leader also informed the gathering of a plan to organise an house-to-house voters sensitisation drive on the need to collect their PVCs, come out on election day and vote all APC Candidates for a more prosperous Nigeria.
Other speakers present at the event praised the lawmaker for his commitment to the development of Ikorodu Division and his courage to celebrate a victory in an election that has not been conducted. They also pledged to support all candidates of the party and work for a landslide victory at the polls.
