FASHOLA TO APC PUBLICITY SECRETARIES:
STAY WITH THE ISSUES, REINFORCE HOW
APC IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS
…As Governor receives State Publicity Secretaries of
APC during Summit in Lagos
Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola,
SAN on Tuesday received the Publicity Secretaries of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) from various
States in the country, charging them to continue to
reinforce the differences and ideas that drive the
party.
Describing that inaugural Summit of the Publicity
Secretaries held in Lagos as a defining historic
initiative, Governor Fashola said the party image
makers should proceed to articulate more clearly
issues in their respective states.
Noting that the All Progressives Congress has
shown the difference between it and the other parties
by its unique approach to issues, Governor Fashola
identified the two broad categories of States in which
the Publicity Secretaries operate adding that they
must continue to stay with the issues in both cases.
According to the Governor, the kind of politics being
played by the APC is one that has changed the
game because the people had expected the party to
do the traditional things but are seeing the party that
is organizing periodic lectures on topical national
issues which is a departure from the past.
He reiterated that the responsibility to detail what is
different will rest with each and every one of the
party publicity secretaries in terms of reinforcing the
difference and escalating the ideas that drives the
Party. According to the Governor, the APC would
hold other parties to the issues as every election
should be about the issues that affect the people
which should be discussed frontally and openly.
“For those who already understand the caliber of men
and women who make up APC and who know that
they are long distance runners, there are lots of
expectations from us. There are some people in our
party and they are quite a number and people know
them that when they set on a course, they will give
everything that it takes. The short distance runners
will find their levels as we go on. So that put a lot of
expectations on this party and it brings a lot of
responsibilities, the responsibilities that am sure that
we can discharge it would be your duty to more
clearly now articulate issues in your States”, he
stated.
He explained that by comparison the APC States
have shown clearly more developmental capacity
adding that even in those states that it does not have
a government, whatever the government of the day is
doing there with the APC ideas, given the same
resources, the APC would do better.
Citing specific examples, Fashola explained that as
Publicity Secretaries they must help people make the
necessary connection that poverty cannot be
eradicated without electricity and that if there is no
power, factories would not run, if factories do not run,
there would be no jobs and if there are no jobs the
people would be poor.
“You would not be saying anything that is
manufactured. You would only be taking them through
a logical sequence and that is only one sequence.
The other sequence is that without power the locally
produced goods would be very expensive than
imported ones, so anybody who is producing here
locally is at a disadvantage. His prices cannot
compete. Inevitably what happens is that he shuts
down, he down sizes resulting in unemployment and
poverty”.
“These are the dots that you must connect for people
who cannot make the connections. Our party does not
run the government that controls the critical indices of
survival here. We do not control the price of fuel, we
do not raise the price of fuel, we do not control the
exchange rates and we do not control the index
rates”, he said
Continuing, the Governor noted that such indices have
weighty implications for the production process and
eventually the well being of the people.
“Those are the rates that affects whether or not
companies can produce, how much they can produce
at, how effectively they can produce if their prices are
not competitive, if what should cost N5 is costing N10,
if you have only N10 you can only buy one, but if it is
produced at the appropriate price you can buy two, if
you buy two it means your demand has increased, if it
is increased, it means that the producer must employ
more people to meet that demand, these are the very
simple and challenging issues”, the Governor
explained.
Governor Fashola also stressed that the APC is not
the party responsible for managing income from oil,
asking why the income is disappearing, adding that if
the party in control cannot do it then it should let the
APC show them how to do it.
He added that for him the serious day to day issues
that the people of Nigeria must connect with concerns
connecting with education, connecting with healthcare,
connecting with housing and connecting with security
people.
According to him: “A man who has no work has a
very low threshold for temptation, the person that has
work, that has money, after a hard day’s job is going
to look for where to enjoy his money in the evening,
he is not going to look for trouble. It is natural
human behaviour. So you can connect that electricity
to so many things and until we have it, things are
going to be extremely challenging”.
Speaking earlier, the Publicity Secretary of the
Lagos Chapter of APC, Mr Joe Igbokwe said the
Publicity Secretaries came together because of the
need to compare notes, to synergize, understand
themselves and share progress and challenges.
He added that the Publicity Secretaries have held
discussions on the way forward because they believe
there is no reason why the APC should not form the
government at the federal level in 2015 and are
preparing themselves for the change that is coming.

Its no coincidence all APC publicity Secretaries are meeting in lagos. They're here to learn from the publicity king himself, his royal highness Alhaji Fashola, a man that plants flowers on an old road and declare it open with fanfare, Fash is a con artist.
Can't wait to see him exposed for the fraud he is by the lovable Jimi Agbaje.

The ponzi scheme ran by Tinubu/Fashola since 1999 would at last be revealed.
