Addressing a press conference in Lagos on Monday, March 6, the group said it was worried about the threats issued against those who are suspected of voting for the opposition in the state.

Bode Goerge then urged the people of the state to be careful in voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 11 governorship election.
His statement reads in part:
"Of paramount interest and concern is the issue of threat to lives by cronies and criminal elements, who we presume are being unleashed on innocent citizens who are willing to exercise their civic rights, to effect a positive change to their lives, the lives of their unborn children, using the civilised option of the ballot box, universally approved as opposed to the option of anarchy."
March 11: 4 Permutations APC, Sanwo-Olu Making to Defeat LP's Rhodes-Vivour
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Lagos state chapter of the APC is setting machinery in place to ensure that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is not defeated in his second-term bid.
This is because the victory of Peter Obi, the LP candidate in the just concluded presidential election, has posed a threat to the APC chances and made Rhode-Vivour, the LP candidate, popular in the state.
One of the permutations the APC is making is to have dinner with the Igbo captain of industry led by Air Peace boss Allen Onyema.
