MEMBERS of the Lagos State chapter of Alliance for Democracy (AD) have announced their defection to the Action Democratic Party (ADP), declaring their support for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi popularly called BOG.
The defectors known as the G89 group in the AD, comprised of strong political hands in Ikorodu, Somolu, Ajah, Epe, and Kosofe Local Government Areas, and are reputed to be the engine room of the party in Lagos made the announcement in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday.
In a statement jointly signed by the Leader and Executives members of the G89, Prince Eniola Ojajuni; Mr Caleb Agbanimu and Mr Ikudehinbu Mathew (Executives) respectively, the group said that Gbadamosi was the candidate that can take the state to the desired heights.
“After due consultation and accurate brainstorming, we the G89 from the Alliance for Democracy (AD) hereby solidly declare for Gbadamosi Olalere Babatunde (BOG) as the best candidate and by the grace of God, the next governor of Lagos State.
“Gbadamosi is an astute man of integrity and we, after our meetings, decided not only to join the ADP but to also join forces and form a movement that will deliver maximum votes for him in the forthcoming Gubernatorial election in Lagos State.

“With his level of experience and by popular demand, Gbadamosi deserves to be the next Governor of Lagos.
“G89 will deliver the wards and units under its jurisdiction to Gbadamosi and will ensure proper propagation of the visions and plans he has for Lagosians.
“G89 will not relent until Lagosians gets the best and Gbadamosi is the best man for the job,” the group said.
They said that as indigenes of Lagos, they could no longer afford to fold their hands whilst the state was robbed in the guise of governance with dividends of democracy not getting to grassroots people in the state.
According to them, the APC and PDP no longer have anything to offer the people and residents of Lagos but unfulfilled promises, stressing that the best option was to vote them out and enshrine a candidate that can guarantee good governance in the state.
“We studied all the candidates and based on their pedigrees, realised that the only man who truly has the interest of Lagosians at heart is BOG.
“We, therefore, urge well-meaning residents of Lagos State to step up and vote en-mass for the ADP in the state and ensure that they protect their votes,” the G89 added.
