Jittery over the growing influence of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) in Lagos, the All Progressive Congress (APC) has embarked on a wide scale campaign of falsehood to deceive the people of the State against voting for Jimi Agbaje in the governorship election billed for April 11, 2015.
The APC is current circulating fake news that TAN National Coordinator, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has endorsed its governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode and led top Igbo Leaders to declare support for the APC. TAN has refuted this information as untrue, malicious, and wicked, while urging the people to disregard it and vote for Jimi Agbaje.
The PDP won 5 of the 6 House of Representatives seats lost by the APC in Lagos, while Accord Party (AP) won one. The APC leadership in the state has fingered TAN as responsible for the defeat due to its network and growing influence within and outside the State.
This is the first time since 1999, that the PDP will be having an impressive showing in Lagos, winning 5 Federal House seats from the State. The APC is gradually becoming unpopular in the state due to its anti-masses policies.
