The Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate in 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.”
