In what he describes as extreme politics by all and sundry in the face of reactions that have trailed the outcome of the 2023 Presidential elections, Sanusi indicated that Nigerians choose Asiwaju as reflected by the results released by INEC.

Sanusi made this call on thursday when he received some community stakeholders from Oriade LCDA who paid him a solidarity visit as the election petition tribunal commenced hearings.

Sanuis used the visit to remind Nigerians and indeed Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency residents that only God can determine the fate of any person including the president-elect Bola Tinubu.

EASTER: PLS GREETS AMUWO ODOFIN CHRISTIANS, CALLS FOR PRAYERS FOR NIGERIA

PUSH NEWS 24 INTERNATIONAL: April 7th, 2023

EASTER: PLS GREETS AMUWO ODOFIN CHRISTIANS, CALLS FOR PRAYERS FOR NIGERIA

APC Chieftain and House of Representative Candidate of the All Progressives Congress Candidate (APC), Prince Lanre Sanusi (PLS) has congratulated Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency Christians across Nigeria and the world on the successful completion of this year’s 2023 Lent period and the subsequent Good Friday and Easter celebrations which symbolize the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In a message from his Media Office in FESTAC, Sanusi urged the indigenous people Christians and residents of Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency to pray for peace, security, sustainable development, and unity in the country as well as among the citizens.

The Awori born Prince urged Christians to return to the teachings of Jesus Christ who as ‘the reason for the season’ represents religious tolerance, peaceful co-existence, good faith, truth, demonstration of the fear of and belief in God, empathy for the less privileged, and patriotism to one’s country.

“It is not just a mere coincidence that while the Lent fasting was on, the Muslim Ramadan also commenced and this translates to a very substantial percentage of the national population fasting in the past two weeks. This is a design by Almighty God to teach us the lesson that no matter how we worship Him, whatever language we adopt in worshipping Him, or what name we call Him, we are all creations of one God.

“Therefore, we should all live, work and aspire together as brothers and sisters in the interest of our dear country, demonstrate the fear of God in all we do, and develop our country for the benefit of all. We should stop allowing religion, ethnicity, or difference in language to divide us. It is time we all bound together to salvage our country and restore her lost glory” Sanusi said

“This Easter period which also coincides with the ongoing Ramadan fasting should be used by Nigerians to pray for their country, to rededicate ourselves to the promotion of national interest above personal interest, ponder about the challenges facing the country, and for each individual to take a vow to be part of the solution to the problems.

“It is my prayer that Almighty God will intervene and heal our country in all areas while also giving us victory over those misguided elements who are waging wars against the country. May the protection of God be on all members of the security agencies who are on the frontlines fighting to defend our country. I wish all our Christian brothers and sisters a happy celebration of Good Friday and Easter”, Sanusi stated.

ASIWAJU WILL REKINDLE HOPE OF NIGERIANS – PLS

PUSH NEWS 24 INTERNATIONAL : April 1st, 2023

ASIWAJU WILL REKINDLE HOPE OF NIGERIANS – PLS

APC Stalwart and House of Representatives Candidate in the 2023 General elections, Prince Lanre Sanusi (PLS) while eulogising Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 71st birthday has said that the President-Elect of Nigeria, who ran on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has the capabilities and is prepared to rekindle the hope of every Nigerian.

“He was poised to be the poster boy to return that dwindling hope of democracy in South West, nay Nigeria as a whole and is now more than ever ready to re-ignite that hope that was partially diminishing in Nigeria’s contemporary political emancipation” PLS said.

“In a move reminiscent of what Late M.K.O Abiola had wanted to do in 1993, and with Asiwaju being a part of that dream, he will surely now take up the task to deliver the HOPE we have all craved and yearned for” Sanusi added.

According to the US trained Financial Expert “From the foregoings, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is stealthily and gradually inching towards rekindling this Big Hope for Nigeria at large and from the events emanating from his election as President-Elect of Nigeria, there are brighter signals and good movements towards making this dream come to pass”.

Sanusi further assured that Asiwaju will bring the experience of his leadership in Lagos State as the Governor, Boardroom guru in the private sector and as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to steer the affairs of country effectively

“While it is an understatement that the country truly needs HOPE after a momentous but yet to manifest time-out with the CHANGE mantra, it is rather plausible for right-thinking people to embrace the RENEWHOPE Agenda once again”.

“The ‘Jagaban Borgu’ is the only real and pragmatic experience which can offer genuine HOPE, and pundits are now coming to the realisation that Asiwaju is the ‘Hope bearer’ and ‘torch-carrier’ to rekindle the country’s coveted Hope. That, in fact, is the ladder to climb to the CHANGE destination. “

Sanusi further advise Nigerians to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards leading Nigeria to its heights and bounds.

Push News 24 International has observed that ever since Asiwaju has been publicly identified as the torchbearer and game-changing individual of the ruling party with a magic wand, many groups and caucuses have been allying with his ordinate ambition to be the president of Nigeria.

Recall that Push News 24 International reported that Senator Tinubu who is also the National leader of the APC made the promise to rekindle hope while addressing Benue State APC delegates in Makurdi ahead of the Presidential primaries.

BREAKING : LAGOS GUBER – LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP ENDORSE SANWO-OLU

PUSH NEWS 24 INTERNATIONAL: March 16th, 2023

Less than 48 hours to the 2023 governorship election, leader of Lagos chapter of Labour Party have endorsed the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who will be contesting on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), for a second term, abandoning the LP flagbearer, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.

They said that their decision to endorse Sanwo-Olu over their party’s authentic governorship candidate was due to the ill-treatment they received from Rhodes-Vivour who was handed the LP ticket.

The leaders stressed that they were not leaving the party but the step was taken to ensure that Labour Party does not make the same mistake that was made during the primaries held recently, and to ensure that the youths were not led into mistakes that could affect their future in the state.

The dozens of members led by the former governorship aspirant, Moshood Salvador, endorsed the APC gubernatorial standard-bearer on Thursday during a meeting held in the Surulere Local Government area of the state.

Aside from Salvador, other leaders of the party that have decided to collapse their structure or Sanwo-Olu were the Director General, Lagos LP campaign council, Shola Taiwo; Deputy Director-General for Lagos East LP campaign council, Akinwande Saheed; House of Representatives candidate for Alimosho Federal Constituency, Oyindolapo Omotayo.

Announcing the leaders’ decision before the Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, the LP former governorship aspirant, Salvador, who described the LP candidate as one too young to lead over 20 million people, said that Lagos is too big to go into the hands of rookies.

He stated that residents should vote for those that would do the needful for the development and growth of Lagos considering that the commercial capital o the country remains a big fish that must not fall into wrong hands.

According to him, the economy and well-being of Lagosians cannot be toyed with saying candidates should be voted for based on merit and credibility.

“Lagos must not be given to inexperienced leaders to toy with. Lagos is important to all Nigerians. We are voting for a candidate that has character and quality regardless of party affiliation. And this is the doctrine that we were taught and complying with the directives of the Presidential candidate, Peter Obi”, he added.

He accused the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour has no regard for the leadership of the party and could allegedly be a disaster if given an opportunity to rule Lagos.

Salvador assured that APC will receive maximum votes from over 350,000 members of the Labour Party during the March 18th Elections.

Accepting their endorsement, Hamzat, who appealed to residents of the state to pardon their mistakes, assured that they would surely make amends and introduce policies that could address the peoples’ needs.

.The deputy governor also urged the youths to upgrade their skills to boost their capacity to contribute their quota to the socioeconomic development of the country.

According to him, it will not augur well to vote people into office based on emotions and the challenge before the nation and many others is the scarcity of resources.

INEC DEFENDS OMISSION OF LABOUR PARTY’S LOGO ON BALLOT PAPERS IN LAGOS

PUSH NEWS 24 INTERNATIONAL: February 25th, 2023

AMUWO ODOFIN : INEC Defends Omission Of Labour Party’s Logo On Ballot Papers In Lagos

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has defended the omission of the Labour Party’s logo on ballot papers in Lagos State.

Push News 24 International reported on Thursday that the Lagos State Chapter of the Labour Party (LP) had slammed INEC for allegedly omitting the party’s logo on ballot papers for the Senatorial and House of Representatives elections billed for Saturday.

The State LP Chairperson, Dayo Ekong, made this known on Thursday during a news conference in Ikeja, calling on INEC to reschedule the election until the party’s candidates were included on the ballots.

She said: “This malicious error was found out this morning in Lagos, by me and my team of executive members during the routine inspection of election materials.

“It was at inspection that it was discovered that the Labour Party was not listed for the election for Senate in and House of Representatives in Lagos State. This is unacceptable and a wicked way of disenfranchising Lagos electorates.

“It is unimaginable that for the elections slated for Saturday, Feb. 25, Lagos electorate will only vote for the Labour Party Presidential Candidate as INEC made no provision for the election of Party’s Senate and House of Representatives Candidates.

However, Push News 24 international understands that the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, while reacting to the allegation, told pressmen late Friday at the INEC media briefing in Abuja that “The commission has a record of obedience to court orders.”

He explained that the Labour Party had in a day served on the commission 70 processes on the nomination of candidates and in Lagos, on Federal Constituencies alone.

However, INEC accepted 13 out of 24 candidates for the nomination of federal constituencies in the state.

Yakubu, however, said the commission’s legal team has been tasked to look into the court order from the party and respond appropriately.

He said “So, we have already tasked our legal office to look at all the judgments we have been receiving and they have been coming virtually every day.

The party you are talking about in one day alone served on INEC 70 processes on the nomination of candidates and in Lagos, on Federal Constituencies alone, we accepted the nomination of candidates for 13 out of 24 Federal Constituencies from that party by court order. So, we will look at the court order and respond accordingly.”
