The presidential running mate to the All Progressives Congress candidate for the 2015 elections has described those supporting president Goodluck Jonathan as ‘lovers of poverty’.
The cleric-turned-politician noted that the deteriorating state of the nation’s economy had swept many Nigerians into hardship.
Osinbajo believes that the country needs a change of government at the federal level to salvage Nigerians from shackle of poverty inflicted on them by the present government.
The ex Attorney General of Lagos State stated this at a town hall meeting with artisans, tradesmen and farmers, organised by the Lagos State Government in Ikeja on Tuesday.
He further explained that only those who want to die in hunger would vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Osinbajo said, “No one is ignorant of all that is happening in this country. No one likes hunger and poverty, but people are hungry. In 2015, only those who love to continue to be hungry that would prefer that the government in power at the centre remains there.
“By God’s grace, we will remove them from the seat of power. The people there presently cannot do anything because they don’t know what to do. They lack the capacity and capability to govern the country.”
Also, speaking at the event, the APC governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, recalled that the party, from the period of Bola Tinubu to Governor Babatunde Fashola, had continuously provided good governance to the people of the state.
He promised that that if voted into power, his government would not deviate from the principle laid by his predecessors.
Ambode said, “Our promise to you as a party is to provide good governance and able leadership. We want to take good care of your businesses so that you will have more to take care of yourself, your children and your home. There must be change of government at the Federal level. APC must take over in Abuja”.
