The Lagos State Chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC), will on Saturday unveil its gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The party will also announce its candidates for legislative seats as well as its blueprint at Ikeja. Lagos.

In a statement on Tuesday, the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Osatohamhen Ebhohon named Akeem Olayiwola and Ben Eze as the party’s candidates and stated that both candidates would be coming into the governorship contest with a unique and distinctive blueprint titled ‘The Lagos We Want.

He stressed: “While both are coming to show their individual achievements and radical leaps, they are coming to serve as symbols of the collective ïnterests of both the party and the people.

“The party’s candidates for the House of Assembly from Ikorodu to Badagry will also be unveiled the same day.

“The Lagos AAC has been the major opposition party practically since 2019.

“The party has been keeping the APC misgovernance in check, leading radical actions and pro-people interventions against anti-democratic struggles, to defend people who are daily being made homeless; to electricity struggles to campaign against people paying for darkness and crazy bills; to the #RevolutionNow protests.

“AAC remains the most pragmatic and responsible opposition party in Lagos State.

‘When other parties lacked the courage to engage with the anti-police brutality struggles, AAC was the only political party that officially joined and played leading roles in the #EndSARS movements.

“While the ruling class drowned that great youth, rising in blood, AAC was the only party that had the courage to mobilize and organize with radical lawyers, civil society, and the victims of #LekkiMassacre to engage with the EndSARS Judicial Panel of Enquiry and defeated the Lagos rulers in a historic judgment which rattled the globe.

“AAC has also built great working relationships with formal and informal workers and their organizations, participating in their day-to-day actions.

“AAC has learned so much from the masses and has built structures in the nooks and crannies of Lagos.

“AAC believes Lagos has no reason to be the second worst city to be lived in the world.

“A mega city must be able to develop both physically and socially in a mega manner.

‘We hereby invite the press, students, youths, artisans, and workers to our unveiling of the manifesto to build a new Lagos.

“We are very ready to defeat the rulers that have kept Lagos and its supposed growth and development in their private pockets.

“For us, we want a Lagos exclusively for Lagosians!

“With the unity of all oppressed, the cankerworm walls that keeps our beloved Lagos state downwardly and badly would be defeated come 2023 elections.

“Those who claim to be emperors have been unravelled, and we dare say they have no clothes!

“Come one, come all! August 20 is yet another date in history!!”
