The All Progressives Congress, APC, has once again reminded President Goodluck Jonathan that he should get ready to vacate the Presidential Villa.
The party leaders, including a former head of state, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); ex-Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu; a former Interim Chairman of the APC, Bisi Akande; and governors of the states where the party is in control, said most Nigerians were tired of the President and would rather replace him with an APC president in 2015.
The opposition leaders spoke in Osogbo, Osun State, during the second-term inauguration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC governors, who spoke at the ceremony are, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, Abdufatah Ahmed of Kwara State, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Babatunde Fashola ( SAN) of Lagos State and Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Mr. Moses Adeyemo.
Tinubu, who spoke mostly in Yoruba language, said the Osun electorate resisted those he referred to as “forces of repression” during the August 9 election by choosing APC, adding that the party’s new philosophy was “commonsense revolution”.
He urged every Nigerian to vote out Jonathan next year.
He said, “The revolution we are talking about is the ability to use our voter’s card to send those people away because they have failed woefully.
“This revolution will take care of the elderly ones, create employment and to generate enough electricity and not to lie, like they are telling lies from Abuja.
“The coming election in February, anybody who has charms must prepare very well. If you can use rings fortified with charms, do it; prepare waistbands and the likes. It is not going to be easy to defeat them.
“I am grateful to my mother who is in heaven. I was not trained to be a coward. We are ready for them.”
The party leader boasted that the APC would reclaim the mandate allegedly stolen by the PDP in Ekiti State.
On his part, Buhari, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the APC, said Jonathan had over-stayed his welcome at the villa.
Wife of former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, Mrs. Titi Abubakar, who represented her husband, congratulated Aregbesola and solicited the support of Nigerians for the APC in 2015.
