The Official Press Release by Hon. Jubreel Abdulkareem Withdrawing From Saturday’s State Assembly Election In Agege Constituency 01

I find it neccessary to take the most difficult decision of my lifetime.

Today I yielded to pressures from notable quarters to drop my ambition of contesting for the Lagos State House of Assembly elections in Agege Constituency 01 under the platform of Accord Party. There is no gainsaying that it was a difficult decision considering the readiness of our supporters and promoters to cast their ballots in our favour in less than 24 hours.

I withdrew my participation in the next election to galvanise support for All Progressive Congress candidates in the State elections on Saturday having succumbed to superior arguments of taking Agege to #Nextlevel. What seemed to be irreconciliable differences that emanated from the conduct of primary elections in APC were suppressed with lessons learnt by all parties.

There is no doubt that we have invested so much in people to gain their confidence. I am double sure that most of my followers and supporters would feel dissappointed with this eleventh hour decision, no sacrifice is too much to promote peace, love and better neighbourliness. I can only appeal for calmness and understanding in the believe that we have taken all issues into consideration and Agege shall be great again.

I have consulted widely in the last 72hours for guidance, yet i couldn’t reach the mass of our followers, it will be more challenging for me to pèrsonally calm fray nerves in the next 24 hours but I pray for wisdom and strength to do my best possible.

I wish to use this medium to sincerely appeal to family, friends, followers, associates, admirers and all well wishers to come out en mass and vote for all APC candidates on Saturday 9th March 2019. Your vote for APC is also your vote for me. Let this my decision make a difference in the result of Saturday elections for APC in Lagos State and Agege in particular. God will remember us for good and take us all to the #Nextlevel.

Vote #Sanwoolu
Vote #Obasa
