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.

NNPC Missing $2OBillion Traced To Zenith Bank
NNPC Missing $2OBillion Traced To Zenith Bank PLC And
Other Positive Changes In Nigeria So Far
Everyone get in here let me feed you on the happenings since
the presidential election so far…hehe
So, I told by a friend about the missing 20b that has been
traced to Zenith bank, I decide to do some digging and I
found out from a political analyst that the alleged missing
$20billion dollar by Ex-CBN Governor; Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,
from NNPC has been traced to Zenith Bank Plc.
If you remember that as at the time former governor of CBN
Sanusi Lamido revealed the missing $20 billion, the present
CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele was the MD/CEO of Zenith
Bank Plc.
If you keep your ears on the happenings in Nigeria, you
should have started reading this all over BBM, Whatsapp, and
Facebook.
You will also recall that ex-Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria,
Mallam Lamido Sanusi, said he had begun a process to trace
the missing $20bn oil money before his suspension by
President Goodluck Jonathan.
A meeting was held at the Aso Rock Villa yesterday, on how
all stolen wealth of the Country can be returned to the public
purse. This is to take a precautionary measure against any
effort to probe this government by the incoming government
of General Muhammadu Buhari, President-Elect.
It is no longer news the military has suddenly found General
Buhari’s certificate; that Nigerian Television Authority now
even says Buhari has Masters Degree and that Diezani paid a
discreet visit to General Buhari.
One little birdie told me that industrial training funds authority
has begun payment of outstanding debts they were
‘owing’ (or withholding?) students for over two years.
It may also delight you that numerous filling stations under
padlock on the pretext of fuel scarcity before the presidential
election are now open for business.
Do you think that there is a good chance that we are moving
towards a better Nigeria? Let’s keep praying for it is going to
be a very loooooonnnnngggggg road….What matters is that
one day we will finally get
