Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, says corrupt leaders will
immediately run away from Nigeria the moment the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari is
announced winner of the 28 March presidential election.
He also wooed the Igbo in Lagos to vote massively for the APC
Governorship candidate in Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Speaking at the APC Rally in Amuwo Odofin, Okorocha said: "General
Muhammadu Buhari's (GMB) victory has been sealed and delivered. Today
(Monday) about seven governors who are not in APC are coming to hold a
meeting with us privately.
"There is fear in the country. And the fear is that they know that GMB
is a good man and he will win. And they know that once INEC announces
GMB as the winner of the presidential election, all the bad people who
are embezzling the country's fund will leave the country at night.
"The fear of Buhari is the beginning of stoppage of corruption. Do you
know that before in this country, Nigerians urinated on the road? But
when Buhari assumed power in 1983, it all stopped. And he also stopped
corruption," he stated.
Okorocha also said the PDP is already a dead party, saying that the
party died immediately APC was formed.
"We scheduled the burial of the party for February 14th but they
postponed the burial to March 28. We are waiting patiently to bury the
party forever. But let me tell you that you can change the date of
burial but you cannot change the burial. It must take place. May the
soul of PDP rest in peace," he said.
"The worst thing that can happen to any nation is to have a bad
government. And the worst thing that can happen to any family is to
have a bad father. Today, it is obvious that PDP is a bad government.
And we thank God that we came together to change the bad government.
And the change we came together for has started."
.
"I am in Lagos for one man, and that is for Ambode. He is a good man.
And he will not deceive you. He has a caring heart. He loves everyone.
All tribes in Lagos will be safe in his hands. And this is one man
that can start and continue what Fashola started.
"Lagos today has improved and he is handing over the mantle of
leadership to a man that will continue the geometric progression that
has been witnessed in Lagos," he said.
The Governor stated that Lagos remained a blessing to the Igbo nation
and that the APC remains the only party of choice for all residents of
the state that will ensure that all tribes are safe.
Governor Babatunde Fashola while addressing the rally, called on all
residents of Lagos to reject the PDP at the polls by ensuring that
they vote massively for all APC candidates on March 28 and on April
11.
He added that in the last few weeks, some political office holders had
been carrying dollars around to induce people to vote for them, noting
that the questions they should ask them was where they were in the
last four years.
"Who built this Maternal and Child Centre MCC for you? Who is
constructing this road for you? Who built the rail at Mile 2? In the
last few weeks, some people are carrying dollars around, ask when they
come did you see them in the last four years. We can also keep the
money a few weeks to elections, come to you and say, take the money
instead of the infrastructure we have provided for you.
"Projects like the MCC Festac Road, Ago Palace Way, Festac Link Road,
Durbar Road, Imore Road, Tedi Link Bridge and similar projects are
what we are doing with your money", he added.
"When General Buhari was the Head of State in Nigeria, we were
exporting petrol, after he left we are importing and even kerosene is
a family business today. They bring it in and subsidise it but do you
get it at subsidy price? No way. That is what they said but somebody
is peacefully collecting the money while you are paying fully the
money for kerosene."
The APC gubernatorial candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode assured that his
administration would complete the expansion of the Lagos- Badagry
Express Road from Orile to Badagry and also ensure that it completes
work on the light rail from Okokomaiko to CMS.
The National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was
also present at the rally, urged all residents of Lagos and Nigerians
not to be deceived again by the antics of President Goodluck Jonathan
who painted the pitiable picture of a candidate from a modest
background to deceive Nigerians during his first term in office.
