The All Progressive Congress (APC) National leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said Ambode remains the best man to pilot the affairs of the State; he made this known during the party’s rally in Lagos State.
Tinubu also gave reason on why Ambode was chosen to be the party’s flag bearer saying, “What we have seen in the last eight years is performance, unbroken promises, employment, skills development, road construction, health centres and hospitals and several achievements.
The party’s National leader also Commended the good works of the current governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, where he said “our prayer is that our children will perform better than us and that is why I am a proud man today because my successor in office who I brought, Governor Babatunde Fashola has performed exceptionally and that is why I can beat my chest today”.
“when youths came to me that they wanted another dynamic governor, I told them not to be in a hurry and that help is on the way, but I can categorically state today that we have found someone in the person of Mr Akinwunmi Ambode and I can say that the revolution is here and Lagos will experience another level of development with Ambode” he further stated.
He urged the people of the State to turn down attempts by the PDP to rig the election, noting that Lagos was not a laboratory.
“When we were in AD, the PDP candidate in Lagos was with us but he failed. He also joined us in APC and contested the primaries with Fashola, he also failed and when we told him to come and learn the ropes in governance, he refused and joined DPA but nothing came out of it. Before we could open our eyes again, he has joined PDP” he said.
Also speaking, the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola said the government of PDP was built on lies and Nigerians cannot see them in power for another four years.
Fashola observed that the PDP led government was a failure as it has not being able to live up to its responsibilities of fighting corruption, providing power and security.
On the claims made by the President on the failure of Buhari to equip the military, he noted “Mr President is a man full of excuses and he keeps claiming, those who were in office before him refused to buy guns and that is why he cannot curb the insecurity ravaging the country”.
“General Buhari left office since 1985 and President Jonathan claims he refused to equip the military. Does he want to use the 1985 military equipment to fight the 2014/2015 insecurity that is ravaging this country. We should not forget that our military performed in places like Sierra Leone and other peace keeping missions outside Nigeria and yet Mr President keeps claiming nothing was done by former heads of state”.
He called on the people of Lagos state to vote for continuity, noting that Ambode was the right man for the job.
