We’ll Send Sanwo-Olu – Igbo Coalition 6 Million Votes

A coalition of 50 Igbo socio-cultural groups has pledged to support Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor of Lagos State, with at least six million votes.

Following the governor’s interaction with non-indigenous residents of the state, the coalition, also known as G-50, pledged to cooperate to ensure that the governor is successful in his pursuit for a second term.

Festus Uchenna, the group’s organizer, spoke to reporters in Lagos and said:

“Sanwo-Olu is detribalized, intellectual, and modest. If we had a million votes previously as a collective. The only way we can achieve our goal of six million votes is if we band together.

The group also praised the governor for how he handled the #EndSARS demonstrations and the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

“Due to Governor Sanwo-track Olu’s record of effective leadership, the G-50 is supporting his reelection. As seen by his handling of the Covid-19 outbreak and the #EndSARS Protests, we are confident in his success. We thus want him to remain.
