I am an astute follower of the progressives. PDP has nothing to leverage on and they would stop at nothing to keep looting Nigerians oil money.Right now our crude oil sells for about 100 US dollars per barrel as against 65 US dollars.This is owed to the looming crisis faced by Libya who also has crude oil.Nigeria IS ALMOST molopizing the crude oil market as we speak.Your fellow PDP chieftains would stop at nothing to steal this monies from our treasury.Let's vote them OUT like trash!

Acn Shocks Pdp With Counter Rally In Lagos !
« on: Today at 06:33:01 AM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The electioneering campaign of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took a new dimension in Lagos State, yesterday as the two parties held counter rallies in the nation’s commercial capital. While President Goodluck Jonathan led PDP members to Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos to flag off his presidential campaign, the ACN held its rally in four strategic locations in Lagos.

The ACN rally was held almost simultaneously on Volks Ground along Lagos Badagry Expressway, Agege, Gbagada and Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere. The state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), who is seeking re-election on the platform of the ACN, addressed party supporters at the locations.

Fashola kicked off the rally at Agege before he moved to Gbagada, Surulere and Ojo. He thrilled ACN supporters at Volks Ground in Ojo Local Government Area when he flew into the venue in a helicopter at about 3:15p.m. Local government chairmen, scores of the ACN candidates, party loyalists, market women, youth associations and top government officials who attended the events hailed the governor.
Some ACN chieftains explained that the governor had to use helicopter so that he would be able to touch all the four locations because of traffic congestion in many parts of the state yesterday.

In his address, the governor urged members of the party to use their brooms symbolically to sweep away the footprints of members of the PDP who also held a rally at another location in Lagos.
His words; “You know the most important reason why we cannot trust PDP again. This country is going to make a lot of money in the next few months. You know why? There is crisis in the Middle East - there is crisis in Libya, which is an oil producing state. There is a problem rearing its head in Saudi Arabia. If that problem continues, the price of oil will soar as high as $200 per barrel.

“Now, we have done a budget in this country at $65 per barrel. Oil is already selling above $100 per barrel. It means we are already making excess money of at least $40 million per day. We are selling about two million barrels multiply by $40 per day. Now, if you leave them with that money, they are going to squander it again. For 12 years, they sold $500 billion worth of crude oil. Where is the money?”
Fashola thanked the Lagosians for trooping out in large numbers to participate in the just-concluded voters’ registration exercise, urging them to deliver their over six million votes for the ACN in this year’s general elections.
He declared that he has “no personal grudge against anybody in the opposition party, but I have every dislike, every disagreement with the way they have mismanaged my life and your own life.

“I do not accept that it is impossible for this country to have electricity, I do not accept that. The people who are producing electricity in their countries, they studied the same physics, the same chemistry, and the same mathematics that we studied. They have the same blood flowing in their veins.
“If you have led a country for 12 years, you are promising us more power, but what we are getting is less power. You are promising us bigger economy, but what we are getting is a shrinking economy. You are promising us that you want to resuscitate automobile industry, somebody trying to do that wants to be importing automobile.

“Our party is a party of ideas. I have asked them if they have superior ideas, let them bring it to the market place, let us exchange the ideas. The people of Nigeria are no longer concerned about whether you zone or you do not zone. Your zone will not bring electricity, that is not what the people are concerned about. Your zone will not make the price of kerosene cheaper and that is what is giving them pain. Your zone will not give them better job, that is what is giving me concern.”
Fashola asserted that it was disheartening that importers and exporters could not clear their goods within 24 hours at the port and the port doesn’t work at night, saying ACN was set to bring a turn-around transformation if residents of Lagos could use their six million votes, people of south west could use their 15 million votes and Nigerians at large could vote massively for the party.

He made reference to some of completed roads and those that are under construction in different parts of the former federal capital of the country as well as Iju/Adiyan Water Works as a tip of the ice berg on the dividends of democracy that the ACN-led government would deliver to Nigerians.
