Youths of the Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have warned the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Jimi Agbaje, to stop blackmailing and assassinating the character of a former governor of the state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement by its Organizing Secretary, Idris Aregbe on Sunday, the youths spoke in reaction to Agbaje’s campaign for “freedom for Lagos” during a youth roundtable meeting Saturday.
Agbaje had hosted hundreds of Lagos youths where he among other things discussed the further development of the state.
But in reaction, the APC youths said, “At this age and time in Nigerian politics, we can all campaign in peace without maliciously spreading falsehood about one another in a bid to create chaos in a peaceful state like Lagos.
“I want to emphatically state here that no one is living in bondage. If you look at Lagos of today, Lagos is successfully competing with several other great cities of the world.
“We are enjoying all these developments today because of one selfless man and that man is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his vision for Lagos.
“We have also seen several PDP governors trooping to Lagos to acquire templates for governance and economic development, so tell me how are we in bondage?
“We’ve seen lots of governorship candidates from other parties that have no single plan for Lagosians but will be looking for all means to dent the good image of a visionary like Asiwaju.”
