Push APC into Atlantic Ocean, Agbaje tells Igbo

The Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has
urged Igbo across the state to push the All
Progressives Congress ‘into the lagoon’ by
voting for him on Saturday.
Agbaje said this while addressing Igbo
traders at the Alaba International Market on
Thursday.
The PDP candidate urged them 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.
He urged the people to ignore the scare
tactics being marshalled by the APC, saying,
it was the antics of a drowning party.
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 was accompanied by 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.”
Counselling the audience to eschew violence
and refuse to be intimidated at the polling
venue, Agbaje urged them to guard their
votes.
He said, “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.
