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.
“Immediately I met Afolayan. I knew she would be my running mate. Also to get the best running mate, the party set up a committee that had to use Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats, SWOT, analysis to determine her emergence. The committee gave her the highest point that made her emerge,” Dickson said.
“I have never lost any election since I ventured into politics. So we are not afraid of major opposition because we are here for the people.”
