LAGOS — Grassroots Development Initiative, GDI, a mobilisation group, has commenced the appointment of  coordinators in Lagos for all local government areas to sensitise residents to partake in politics.

Lagos coordinator of  GDI, Mrs Daba Obioha, at  a senitization campaign at the PDP secretariat, Ikeja, Lagos said the enlightenment of supporters for the Presidency and particularly PDP in Lagos to win next year’s gubernatorial election in the state were its main aims.

According to Obioha, GDI is a political tool, initiated in Rivers State by the Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, to improve the lives of the people and educate them on how to avoid rigging during elections.

“As a matter of fact, the Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has given us his support, so we are going to support any gubernatorial PDP candidate in Lagos. If we are all there on the field nobody can rig. GDI is for everybody. In other words, is not a South-South thing. It includes everybody.”
