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.”
