The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Jimi Agbaje, on Thursday urged Lagosians to use their votes and push the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) out of the state and into the ocean.
Agbaje, who spoke during his last campaign rally at the Trade Fair and Alaba International MARKET, said: “Nobody can push you into the Atlantic Ocean. Rather, you should use your votes to push APC into the Atlantic Ocean by voting massively for PDP on Saturday.”
The rally was held at the conference centre of the Automobile Spare Parts Manufacturers and Dealers Association (ASPAMDA), and Agbaje encouraged traders and supporters to troop out on Saturday to cast their votes in the governorship and state house of assembly elections.
At the rally, Agbaje urged the people to ignore the scare tactics being marshalled by APC, saying, it was the antics of a drowning party.
“Election is like a snake. You have to make sure you win by killing the snake completely by using your votes to drive 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 ensure that you vote massively for the PDP and protect your votes,” he said.
He was accompanied by his running mate, Alhaja Safuratu Abdulkarim, and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.
Thanking the people for voting massively for PDP in the presidential and legislative elections on March 28, Agbaje said it was clear that APC had seen the handwriting on the wall and knew its time was up.
In his own words: “In the last 16 years, 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.
“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.” (Thisday)
