The President-elect, retired Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday said that Lagos
State was too important for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to lose to the opposition.
Buhari, at the APC rally in Orile area of the state,
urged Lagos residents to vote en masse for the
party's governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr
Akinwunmi Ambode on Saturday.
"Defy all elements, whatever it may be, and vote for
APC from top to bottom,’’ he said.
Buhari told the crowd that Lagos, with its huge
investments, could not be toyed with.
"Don't attempt to be on the wrong side of the centre
because we are now the centre.
"Tell your neighbours, your relatives and even the
opposition party to please bury the hatchet and fall
in line and vote for APC,’’ he said.
The President-elect assured the people that they
stood to benefit a lot if they voted for the APC.
Buhari said that he would prioritise investment in
Lagos infrastructure, noting that the state is a "mini
Nigeria".
"Gov. Babatunde Fashola has told me how much the
state has been spending to maintain Federal
Government infrastructure, including roads,
buildings and other institutions.
"I urge Ambode, who will be the next governor of
the state, to harass me sufficiently to honour my
undertaking," he said.
Buhari commended Chief Bola Tinubu, an APC
National Leader, for all he had done in terms of
mobilising revenue to sustain development in the
state.
He also commended Fashola for his hard work,
commitment to the state and to the country.
"I am extremely impressed, “he said.
Tinubu, in his address, also urged Lagos residents
to vote wisely in the governorship and House of
Assembly elections and not to waste their votes for
the opposition.
"As you vote on Saturday, pray that God will not let
you waste your vote; a vote for progress is a vote
for development, " he said.
Tinubu said that Ambode was chosen as the party's
governorship candidate because he had the brain,
character, integrity and ability to do a good job.
"Vote for the man that will give you solid
development, happiness, hope and great progress
in Lagos and in Nigeria.
"We have a President-elect from the party now, we
have gotten victory and we will continue with the
progress that Nigeria deserves," Tinubu said.
He noted that in the last 16 years, the state had
been fair to all tribes.
" In 2011, when Jimi Agbaje asked me to give him
the governorship ticket, I told him he was not
qualified and I told him I was going to support a man
of character and sound mind, which is Fashola.
" Since then, Fashola has performed tremendously
well and has not been sentimental, especially
against the Igbos," he said.
Fashola also urged residents to vote Ambode saying
that the state must not remain in opposition to the
centre.
"We are 5.8 million on the voters register and I will
want three million votes for Ambode.
"Put ethnic sentiments aside, there will be no
discrimination.
"As your governor, I have defended you every time
you have been intimidated without discrimination.
Fashola said that Buhari had promised to
compensate the state for all federal government
assets it had maintained.
"That sign of compensation is already here and I
know you won't want to miss it," he said.
Ambode also solicited support from the people
urging them to vote APC as they did on March 28.
"I want to say a big thank you to you all; March 28
was historic for Lagosians, we said we wanted
change and we made it possible.
" I urge you to repeat that on Saturday.
"We are united on one cause, we will not
discriminate against anyone.
" We are all one, be you Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo;
that is how we will remain forever, " he said.
Ambode urged Lagos residents to consider the
possibilities they stood to gain with APC being the
party at the centre.
Also present at the rally were Gov. Rotimi Amaechi
of Rivers, Chief Audu Ogbeh, Sen. Chris Ngige, and
the APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun,
among others.
