Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has urged Igbo across the state
to push the All Progressives Congress 'into the lagoon' by
voting for him on Saturday.
Agbaje said this while addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba
International Market on Thursday.
The PDP candidate urged them to ignore the threats made
by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, that if they do not vote
for the APC governorship candidate on Saturday, they would
die in the lagoon.
"Nobody can push you into the Atlantic Ocean. Rather, you
should use your votes to push the APC into the Atlantic
Ocean by voting massively for the PDP on Saturday," Agbaje
said.
He urged the people to ignore the scare tactics being
marshalled by the APC, saying, it was the antics of a
drowning party.
Agbaje said, "Election is like a snake. You have to make sure
you win by killing the snake completely by using your votes
to drive the APC out of power. The reason why they are
harassing you is because they fear Igbo votes. They will try
to do 'shakara' for you but you must vote massively for the
PDP and protect your votes."
Agbaje, who was accompanied by his running mate, Alhaja
Safuratu Abdulkarim; and the Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, said the APC had
become arrogant because the party had been in power for
too long.
He said, "In the last 16 years, the APC has been full of
arrogance. This arrogance must end once and for all.
Saturday is the time to say enough is enough."
Counselling the audience to eschew violence and refuse to
be intimidated at the polling venue, Agbaje urged them to
guard their votes.
He said, "God is on our side and power will change hands on
Saturday and life will be better for you and your businesses.
There will be no oppression again because this election is
about freedom from bondage."
