DONT ALLOW ATIKU, PDP NEAR POWER AGAIN — TINUBU

All Progressives Con­gress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has called on Nigerians not to allow the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) anywhere near the Nigeria’s commonwealth again because of the destruction he said the party brought on the country.

Tinubu made the call on Sat­urday in Lagos at the Teslim Ba­logun Stadium, Surulere, venue of APC presidential campaign’s mega rally where he also re­called how Lagos gave him a chance to deploy his talents for national progress and preserva­tion of Progressive politics.

“I thank the Almighty Allah and the good people of Lagos State for a place to stand, from which I could deploy my talents to mobilise like-minded Pro­gressives to defend this great city.”

The APC presidential candi­date said his party’s campaign is a broom revolution, and invoking the spirit of his late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, the Iyaloja-General, he followed up with a folksong, singing in Yoruba, ‘Dagunro o se je, Tinu­bu o se pa’, meaning literally that he cannot be killed.

Tinubu said he would con­tinue with Progressive govern­ment where Nigerians would not be forgotten in education, healthcare and employment generation.

The former Lagos State gov­ernor, who spoke partly in Yoru­ba, took a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, describing him as a veteran aspirant who should go home and rest.

Atiku contested in SDP. He contested in PDP. He contested in ACN when we rescued him from Obasanjo. Now, he is con­testing again in PDP. He should go home and rest,” adding that Nigerians should never allow him (Atiku) and his party near the country’s commonwealth.

“Atiku has been running. Use your PVC to vote him and his party out. Use your votes to retire him permanently this time. We must never again al­low the rapacious and vision­less gang of Peoples Destroying People to come near our com­monwealth again

They were in government for 16 years. They didn’t remem­ber Badagry expressway. They didn’t remember East-West Road. They didn’t remember Second Niger Bridge.”

To underscore his support across the country, Tinubu not­ed that the governors of Kano, Kastina, Kaduna, Kwara, Kebbi and other APC governors were with him, unlike his opponent who could not hold his party together.

Tinubu again used the op­portunity to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to the develop­ment of Nigeria and Lagos State.
