The governorship standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has called on Ndigbo across the state to push the All Progressives Congress ‘into the lagoon’ by voting for him en-mass tomorrow.
Agbaje stated this while addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba International Market on Thursday.
He asked Ndigbo living in Lagos 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.
“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 stormed the market in company of 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.
“God is on our side and power will change hands on Saturday and life will be better for you and your businesses. There will be no oppression again because this election is about freedom from bondage”.
