2019: PDP shops for governorship candidate in Lagos

Wale Elegbede


…considers Agbaje, Doherty, Koshoedo, Dosunmu

Leading opposition party in Lagos State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is currently shopping for a governorship candidate ahead of the 2019 elections in the state.


Lagos is the only state which the PDP had not governed in the South-West since the Fourth Republic began in 1999.

New Telegraph exclusively learnt that the party had set up a search party being led by the state chairman, Hon. Moshood Salvador, some notable members of the chapter’s Elders’ Council, zonal ex-Officio, among others, to produce a credible, widely acceptable and popular party man to fly its flag in the next gubernatorial poll.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, is expected to seek a second term on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

A source, however, who preferred to be anonymity, said the party was in a dire need of a candidate that would first be accepted by vested interest in the party and be presentable to Lagosians as an alternative to Ambode.

Joe Igbokwe is more qualified for the post and has more experience than the rest

His surname alone will guarantee at least 7 million Igbo votes

Failed party.

Politics is no longer all about parties, but the personalities and candidate involved. Goodluck to PDP you got my back like school bag

This is the right candidate......One Who Serves.

PDP's best chance to 'capture' Lagos was in 2015 through Jonathan's federal might but they failed. Now that Lagosians have tasted Ambode's sterling performance, they stand zero chance no matter who they present. Besides, the state doesn't need a party like PDP to come and disrupt all the developmental plans on ground in the state. APC doesn't even need federal might to remain in power in Lagos.

Why waste money? Try states you can actually win

If we should follow personality instead of party like u rightly claimed, then I think Ambode has done well even as his party has failed woefully at the center.
PDP shouldn't waste their money because I don't think they have a chance.
The right question now should be, who will they even bring that has 15% popularity without a dirt in his past?

Exactly my thoughts

This is an efforts that will never manifest in Lagos today. Though it is better to test their carriability but this is DOA

If im pdp chairman id just tell the party to forget lagos,id be like lagos is 0-1 already,lets focus on other states.....

zero chance? why are you giving them such leverage propably you meant -100% zero chance.

PDP should totally forget about Lagos in 2019. Even if Ambode leaves APC he will win.

Abeg that man don try!

I read in the papers today that the embedded power project of 3000MW will commence next month.

Hmm. Maybe Evans the kidnapper will do.

If they nominate Obama as a governor candidate and Trump as vice governor they stand zero chance

Dead on Arrival...I am voting for Ambode 100 percent but we must still vote Buhari out

PDP should present Bode George himself that always make mouth and promise candidates that he will win Lagos for them

Ambode is working... no need to replace him...He has a vision... However its Buhari we must vote out...

I will still vote ambode again but Buhari must go.

Ok

LOL They should not waste their time. Ambode has done enough to win a second term in office.

Yes! PDP is wasting time in Lagos. They should face Abuja and be serious!

Ambode must stay, Buhari must go!
