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.
