Bola TinubuAction Congress of Nigeria (ACN) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday asked Nigerians to reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the polls on Saturday, saying that President Goodluck Jonathan is not a promise keeper.
He also welcomed the decision of party youths in Lagos state to serve as ‘voters and volunteers agents’ that would monitor the National Assembly elections. He said the volunteers would not only mobilise party folowers to vote, but also police the votes. Tinubu said: “They will mobilise for the elections. They will remind people to rise early, prepare their food, which they will take along. If our people want to fast on the day of election, let them fast. god will accept their prayers.
“Our people should vote and remain where they had voted. take your phone and record the results and follow the results to the final stage. the purpose of the volunteer agents is to police the votes and our chairman, Dtunba Dele Ajomale, should issue party ID cards to the volunteers”. Tinubu, who spoke at a rally on Lagos Mainland, said a vote for PDP is in vain because the party lacked the tradition of keeping promises.
The chairman of the party, Chief Oladele Ajomale, presented flags to the candidates for the elections at the rally held at Yaba bus stop. the flag bearers are Mrs Oluremi Tinubu (senate), Alaoseniyan Owolabi (House of Representatives), and Lanre Oshun ( and Hon. Oloto (House of Assembly).
Tinubu, who cut his 59th birthday cake presented by the party faithful, described the saturday poll as the foundation of victory for ACN, urging the people to shun PDP and Labour Party (PDP). He said: “Jonathan promised the rule of law, but a senator in Akwa Ibom is being tried for treason because PDP is about to lose the state. We know who should be charged for treason. PDP has ruined the economy. They have turned Nigeria into a country of tooth picks importer and rice importers. PDP has crippled our economy.
“Jonathan is making promises he cannot keep. They cannot give the country power and they are misusing the oil and gas resources, thereby provoking kidnapping, and unrest. Jonathan said that he will increase salaries of teachers. Did he recruit all teachers in Nigeria?”, he querried.
Tinubu described the PDP chieftains threatening to capture Lagos state as permanent liars, thieves, prisoners, rogues and riggers. He said: ‘They know they are going to lose. They don’t want to lose in bgreat margin. They want to cause trouble. They are afraid of defeat”.
