Lagos - President Goodluck Jonathan
said on Friday in Lagos that victory for
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
the upcoming general elections would
free Lagos residents from oppression. He stated this when the leaders of
market women groups, "Iyalojas", in
Lagos and environs, paid him a
solidarity visit at the State House,
Marina, Lagos. Jonathan, who was reacting to the
complaint of high-handedness and
witch-hunting made by the market
women against the All Progressives
Congress (APC)-led Lagos state
government. He told the market women, and
indeed, all traders in the country that
the PDP administration would provide
the enabling environment for them to
ply their trades. "Our victory at the polls will free all
Lagos traders from oppression. You
need to be free; we will remove Lagos
from bondage,’’ he assured. He commended the women for
supporting his re-election bid and
urged them not to be intimidated by
their opponents. "I have listened to you; you have been
carrying the PDP flag; you have been
humiliated but you still marched on. Also read: Obasanjo's exit unsettles Jonathan, PDP "Thank you for working hard for PDP;
this is the final struggle and time for us
to use all our strength to achieve
victory,’’ he said, adding that the
country belonged to every Nigerian. "If we struggle and win Lagos state,
everybody will do his business
without being harassed or
intimidated,’’ the president added. Earlier, the leader of the market
women, Hajia Aminat Hussein, had told
the president that they had stood
behind PDP since its inception but
regretted that the members suffered
harassment under in Lagos state. She said that in spite of the attempts by
APC "to buy over many of the market
women", the women would mobilise
themselves in the state and in other
states to ensure victory for the
president. "We are promising you that you will
not lose in Lagos; this coming election
is for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and
God is with you,’’ she added. Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro, former Minister
of State for Defence, who accompanied
the group, told the president that the
group was working to tell the world
that the ruling party in Lagos "are not
untouchables". "These women are more concerned
about the reality than news in the
social media. APC will be shocked on
Election Day; we believe in our
president. "I do not know of any president that is
as humble as Jonathan. If you have
such a man as president your interest
will be protected,’’ Obanikoro said. He said that the North had served as
president for so many times, and that
the West had taken its turn "and the
only president elected from South-
South which provides the country with
its wealth, should be allowed to complete his tenure".

Ok

Everyone knows APC media war, lies and propagandas. But, whoever, that is doing these things(magic) to APC supporters must be laughing somewhere far away.
Please don't copy me.

This is first rate insanity. ..Lagos is working better than Nigeria.

In the last 15yrs of PDP led federal govt, no state in Nigeria has out performed lagos state. Not even my own state, Rivers state. Not even the federal led by the PDP. Instead we should remove the PDP led federal govt for wasting 15yrs of our lives since 1999 to date.

Which Lagos is working? Please take a stroll to agege, alimosho, idimu, igando, ejigbo, ikotun, abulegba, mushin etc and weep. Lagos is working only in lagos island, some part of surulere, yaba and Ikeja were the population is minor. Alimosho LGA has the highest population in Nigeria (over 1million people) but still in shambles with little or no government intervention.

apc treated traders harshly in lagos under faashola

its payback time and traders am sure know how to payback

Jonathan's road to re-election runs through Lagos

Hahaha plz mr president did u free lagos from oppression when u won there in d last Election?

Lagosians are really oppressed.

Lastma always touting around the roads, causing traffic and extorting motorists.

Agbero will not allow motorist work without forcefully collecting money I don't understand how they worked for it. This results in increase in transportation fare in the state and I heard some of the money are been remitted to tinubu's account.

Larger chunk of lagos residents live in slums where government presence is barely felt, the government have succeeded in making life easy only for the rich and influential.

I cannot boast of a single standard road in the whole of aguda, surulere, where I reside and yet you want me to believe that lagos is working?

Please open your eyes and look beyond Ikeja, surulere (bode Thomas and Eric Moore) and lagos island then you will know that fashola government is a government of planting flowers and making gardens.
