“We appreciate the economic contributions of the government of Lagos state to the indigenes of Kwara.
“The people of Kwara have thrived and achieved so much in Lagos, thereby using the proceeds to develop our state in Kwara.
“Therefore, for APC and the people of Lagos, this is a payback time to prove our support at the polls on March 11 by voting for Sanwo-Olu and all the APC candidates.
“We will show our appreciation and come out in our large numbers to vote for Sanwo-Olu and all candidates of the APC in the House of Assembly.
“A vote for APC is a vote to secure our future for people of Kwara in Lagos state and we are doing this for ourselves because we have benefitted from the Lagos state government,” he said.

Mohammed, therefore, urged the people to redirect their energies into ensuring that Sanwo-Olu and other APC candidates were victorious.
“I enjoin you to encourage your family members and friends to come out and exercise their civic duties for APC,” the minister said.
Similarly, the Deputy Governor of Lagos state, Dr Obafemi Hamzat urged the people to come out and vote for a secured future.
Hamzat noted that the APC and the state government had ensured peaceful coexistence among different ethnic groups in the state.
