Lagos State Gives Headteachers And Staff 48hrs To Force Families To Vote APC by ganisucks(f): 9:10am On Mar 06, 2019
The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board
(SUBEB), on Tuesday asked Headteachers of
public primary schools in the state to vote for
the candidates of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in the March 9 Governorship and State
House of Assembly elections.

NAN reports that Dr Ganiyu Sopeyin, the
Executive Chairman, Lagos SUBEB, spoke at a
stakeholders’ meeting with the Board,
Headteachers, Nigeria Union of Teachers, Non-
Academic Staff Union (NASU) and Association of
Public Schools Headteachers of Nigeria (AOPSHON).

The meeting was also attended by Mr Tokunbo
Wahab, Director of Education, Independent
Campaign Group Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu
(ICGBOS), at the SUBEB Complex, Maryland,
Lagos.

Sopeyin said the essence of the meeting was to
sensitise teachers on the use of index fingers to
vote on the ballot paper during the elections.

“We called this meeting to identify ourselves
with our dear party, APC in Lagos and Nigeria
in general.

“This meeting is to officially identify ourself
with the candidate of the party for
gubernatorial election on March 9, Mr Babajide
Sanwo-Olu.

“You are the leader of your various schools,
meet with all parents, teachers, food vendors
and non-teaching staff on the need to vote
with their index finger and not the thumb.

“By the grace of God, Lagos State has always
been adjudged the best SUBEB in Nigeria with
the help of all of you,” he said.

The SUBEB Chairman said Sanwo-Olu was
formerly the Commissioner for Establishment
and Commissioner for Commerce and Industry,
and was part of so many developmental
projects of the state.

“I want to assure all of you that all that we
have been praising Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode
for, the incoming governor will improve on it.

“Sanwo-Olu has said it that minimum wage is
the in-thing in Lagos. He is likely to look beyond
the N30,000 we are asking for in Lagos,” he
said.

He urged the headteachers to go back to their
various schools to canvas and sensitise other
members to the need to vote for APC.

He urged them to put aside any form of rancour
or misunderstanding now and support the
party and the state government.

“What we need to do now, it is very important
to know that we use our index finger to vote.

“In the past, it was thumb printing but we
discovered that the thumb usually spread
beyond and makes the ballot paper invalid.

“We want you to go back to your schools and
encourage others to vote, your neighbours,
family, friends and teaching staff. Only talk
cannot do it, you must sensitise them.

“We have just 48 hours to do that, you have
the responsibllity to ensure that everybody
around you is encouraged to vote. We have
this two days to do that, go out and encourage
people to vote,” he said.[/quote]www.dailypost.ng/2019/03/06/lagos-agency-goes-partisan-orders-workers-vote-apc/

Politics gone wrong. This excessive exuberrance should be checkmated before they push the country into more despicable entity.

C were not as aggressive as this in Lagos state in the past years being that everyone knows Lagos is an APC state but this last presidential election in the state really gave them but big worries and all of a sudden they seem not to have that kind of strong hold on the state which hereby leads to all this desperation.
