CUPP Officially Endorses Gbadamosi For 2019 Guber Elections

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has endorsed Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi of Action Democratic Party (ADP) as preferred candidate for the 2019 governorship elections.

The exercise organised by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is slated to take place on Saturday, March 9, 2019.

The group made the announcement via a statement made available to AIG Media Pro on Wednesday.

The statement reads, “Our proposed endorsement statement of BOG.

“All protocols duly observed, you all will recall that the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) was formed by well meaning national chairpersons of political parties in Nigeria, including the PDP & many others, ostensibly to provide a common front capable of defeating the extreme right wing elements masquerading as progressives within the APC, who were fortunate to hijack the reigns of power after the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“The outcome of the presidential election has further confirmed the fears of Nigerians for the future unity and well-being of the nation under our present crop of leaders.

“In appreciation of these fears, 35 political parties under the CUPP met and agreed to put resources together to ensure a break from the past 20 years.

“To this end, we have determined to endorse Mr Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi of the ADP as our consensus GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE OF LAGOS STATE for the 2019 elections.

“We are convinced that his passion to make Lagos state achieve her potential is second. His manifesto is as forward looking as it is practical and realistic.

“Moreover his election shall make him the first indigenous Governor of the state in the past 20 years. We urge every well meaning Lagosian to vote the ADP candidate, Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi as the next Governor of Lagos state.”
