The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Tuesday it would capture Lagos in the 2019 governorship election. The PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr Taofeek Gani made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos. “We will shock the All Progressives Congress (APC) by winning the governorship election in Lagos in 2019,’’ Gani said. Gani said the party had mapped out strategies to unseat the ruling party, adding “with the new spirit in PDP in Lagos, we are sure of winning in 2019’’. Gani described recent media report on the defection of 1500 PDP members to the APC in the state as mere propaganda.
