Imo
State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, says corrupt leaders will immediately
run away from Nigeria the moment the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari is announced winner of
the 28 March presidential election.
He also wooed the Igbo in Lagos to vote massively for the APC Governorship candidate in Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Speaking
at the APC Rally in Amuwo Odofin, Okorocha said: “General Muhammadu
Buhari’s (GMB) victory has been sealed and delivered. Today (Monday)
about seven governors who are not in APC are coming to hold a meeting
with us privately.
“There
is fear in the country. And the fear is that they know that GMB is a
good man and he will win. And they know that once INEC announces GMB as
the winner of the presidential election, all the bad people who are
embezzling the country’s fund will leave the country at night.
“The
fear of Buhari is the beginning of stoppage of corruption. Do you know
that before in this country, Nigerians urinated on the road? But when
Buhari assumed power in 1983, it all stopped. And he also stopped
corruption,” he stated.
that the party died immediately APC was formed.
“We
scheduled the burial of the party for February 14th but they postponed
the burial to March 28. We are waiting patiently to bury the party
forever. But let me tell you that you can change the date of burial but
you cannot change the burial. It must take place. May the soul of PDP
rest in peace,” he said.
“The
worst thing that can happen to any nation is to have a bad government.
And the worst thing that can happen to any family is to have a bad
father. Today, it is obvious that PDP is a bad government. And we thank
God that we came together to change the bad government. And the change
we came together for has started.”
Okorocha wooed the Igbo community to vote massively for the candidacy of Ambode as he is the chosen one.
“I
am in Lagos for one man, and that is for Ambode. He is a good man. And
he will not deceive you. He has a caring heart. He loves everyone. All
tribes in Lagos will be safe in his hands. And this is one man that can
start and continue what Fashola started.
“Lagos
today has improved and he is handing over the mantle of leadership to a
man that will continue the geometric progression that has been
witnessed in Lagos,” he said.
The
Governor stated that Lagos remained a blessing to the Igbo nation and
that the APC remains the only party of choice for all residents of the
state that will ensure that all tribes are safe.
Governor
Babatunde Fashola while addressing the rally, called on all residents
of Lagos to reject the PDP at the polls by ensuring that they vote
massively for all APC candidates on March 28 and on April 11.
He
added that in the last few weeks, some political office holders had
been carrying dollars around to induce people to vote for them, noting
that the questions they should ask them was where they were in the last
four years.
“Who
built this Maternal and Child Centre MCC for you? Who is constructing
this road for you? Who built the rail at Mile 2? In the last few weeks,
some people are carrying dollars around, ask when they come did you see
them in the last four years. We can also keep the money a few weeks to
elections, come to you and say, take the money instead of the
infrastructure we have provided for you.
“Projects
like the MCC Festac Road, Ago Palace Way, Festac Link Road, Durbar
Road, Imore Road, Tedi Link Bridge and similar projects are what we are
doing with your money”, he added.
“When
General Buhari was the Head of State in Nigeria, we were exporting
petrol, after he left we are importing and even kerosene is a family
business today. They bring it in and subsidise it but do you get it at
subsidy price? No way. That is what they said but somebody is peacefully
collecting the money while you are paying fully the money for
kerosene.”
The
APC gubernatorial candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode assured that his
administration would complete the expansion of the Lagos- Badagry
Express Road from Orile to Badagry and also ensure that it completes
work on the light rail from Okokomaiko to CMS.
The
National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was also
present at the rally, urged all residents of Lagos and Nigerians not to
be deceived again by the antics of President Goodluck Jonathan who
painted the pitiable picture of a candidate from a modest background to
deceive Nigerians during his first term in office.
He
said Nigerians are tired of lack of stable electricity supply and do
not want that to continue just as the present Federal Government has not
been able to pay the insurance premium of the military and the police
despite the dangers they are exposed to.
Tinubu
urged all Nigerians to vote massively on March 28 to elect General
Muhammadu Buhari and all National Assembly candidates of the APC whilst
also doing the same on April 11 for Akinwunmi Ambode in Lagos and all
State House of Assembly and governorship candidates of the APC
nationwide.
