The National leader of the All
Progressives Congess (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has urged Lagosians not
to be carried away by the deceitful promises of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
Tinubu who spoke at a rally at
Volkswagen, Ojo, organized by the APC to garner support for their
gubernatorial candidate, Akinwumi Ambode, said that the PDP could not be
trusted as they had rigged their primaries in favor of Jimi Agbaje as
against Musiliu Obanikoro so they could fulfill their mischievous
agenda.
Addressing the crowd at the party rally
at Volkswagen, Ojo, he said the desperation of the PDP was amplified
during its Lagos governorship primaries which produced Jimi Agbaje.
He also alleged that in a free and fair
contest, there was no way Agbaje could have defeated Musiliu adding that
Agbaje was a puppet string in the hands of Chief Bode George. “A vote
for Jimi Agbaje is a vote for Bode George in Lagos State. Jimi Agbaje
could not beat Obanikoro in that contest; it was rigged in favour of
Agbaje so that they can annex Lagos. If Lagos comes under PDP, it will
get Lagos State off the track of progress.”
He said, “I gave Lagosians Governor
Babatunde Fashola, if he had not performed Lagosians will blame me, but
the man has excelled in his duties. Therefore, I am a silent seeker, a
silent finder and a human resource expert. I therefore urge you this
time around to vote Ambode.
“The candidature of Ambode will take
Lagos to the next level of development. He is tested, trusted, reliable
and forthright. He is one of the most brilliant minds in financial
accounting, one of the most intelligent in financial management, one of
the most reliable and responsible gurus.”
Tinubu recalled that when 57 local
governments were created by the PDP, it took the intelligence of Ambode
to prevent Lagos from crash landing.
“Through his expertise on financial
creativity, Lagos State survived, succeeded, performed better and made
progress in the hands of this young man.
“At the moment, Nigeria needs great
visionary leaders, who are capable and intelligent to turn the economy
around, a disciplined Muhammadu Buhari and a visionary Ambode will work
to create a better economy for Nigeria.”
The National Leader alleged that the PDP
had only brought untold hardship to Nigerians through mismanagement of
the nation’s resources. He advised Nigerians not to vote based on
religious sentiments as that was the card the PDP was playing to gain
support of Nigerians.
“The purpose of government is to check
poverty and promote prosperity. For 16 years at the federal level has
PDP made life better for the people? The answer is no. We should vote
APC to make our country better.”
Tinubu urged Lagosians to obtain their
Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them carry out the common sense
revolution which will take place this month of February.
“Are you ready for the common sense
revolution? Therefore the revolution is about reform, release and
rescue. We will create jobs, we will use your resources for the benefit
of your future,” he said.
“You are the only one who can do that
common sense revolution. The revolution is to rescue the country from
poverty; the second is for corporation and individuals to do well, the
third is the reform of our institutions to work for the people.”
“I am a human resource expert; I gave you Fashola, now I am giving you Ambode” – Tinubu says
