Can we extend a multiplicative linear functional of a closed left ideal on whole of the algebra?

Let B be a closed left ideal of a Banach algebra A. Also, B has a right approximate identity (in B).

If g is a nonzero multiplicative linear functional on B, can we always extend g to a multiplicative linear functional on A ?
