Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has urged Nigerians to come out en masse to reject President Goodluck Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the general elections for consistently lying to the nation’s citizens about issues affecting their lives.
The Governor, who disclosed this during an All Progressives Congress, APC rally in Alimosho area of the state on Monday, explained that “President Jonathan promised Lagosians in 2011 to make electricity available to them, the President later lied in a programme on Cable News Network, CNN that the people of Lagos were enjoying constant electricity.”
He further lamented that the abducted schoolgirls from a Chibok Secondary School by the Boko Haram terrorists, had yet to be rescued almost a year after they were abducted.
In his remarks, the APC governorship flag bearer in the State, Akinwunmi Ambode, stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s postponement of the general elections will not weaken the determination of Lagos residents to vote for him.
He expressed optimism that the development would rather boost the spirit of party supporters and residents of the state to effect a change at the national level, while voting for continuity in Lagos State.
Ambode, who further disclosed that the party would now intensify its house-to-house campaign in order to win more supporters for the party, said, “They think they can take away our joy by postponing the elections, but they cannot change our destiny because we have resolved that we are going to change the centre.
“They change it to March, then we are marching to Aso Rock; we are going to intensify our house-to-house campaign to win the hearts of those who have not joined us,” he said.
Also speaking, an APC chieftain in Alimosho, Chief Ladi Oluwaloni, said the postponement of the elections from February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11 was like staying the evil days of the PDP.
He boasted that even if the elections were to be held in two years’ time, the APC would still win with a landslide.(Daily Post)
