Lagos Accord Party guber candidate unveils Afolayan as running mate

The Lagos governorship candidate of the Accord Party (AP), Hakeem Dickson, has unveiled Real Estate giant, Mrs. Mojisola Afolayan, as his running mate in the forthcoming polls. Dickson described Afolayan as a young and enterprising running mate that would help to change the narrative of governance in Lagos.

The committee gave her the highest point that made her emerge,” Dickson said.

This is a major call to service, and from this moment on, I solemnly declare that I shall be fully committed to serving the people of Lagos State. I will listen attentively to your concerns, expectations and admonitions.”

She pledged to work diligently to materialise the responsibilities and promised to protect the most vulnerable humans and to work for the peaceful resolution of threats that have affected the safety and stability as a state.

“I pledge to serve you well with all of my heart and to the best of my abilities. I will seek excellence with humility. I will lead by example. I personally believe promises should be kept, and I intend to stick with it as I work with all stakeholders to ensure Accord Party remains a party that delivers on its promises,” she further said.
