Lagos stands still for Buhari

Lagos stands still for Buhari

All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday promised to resolve pressing national challenges, including corruption, insecurity and unemployment, if elected as the President in February 14 presidential election.

He also promised to fight the infrastructure battle in Lagos State as part of moves to restore the glory of the former Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The former military leader said the state will be given a special attention as the economic hub and commercial nerve centre.

Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), who spoke at a mega rally in Lagos, urged Nigerians to vote for the APC for a better Nigeria. They promised to offer a credible, transparent and accountable leadership, which will halt the economic depression and collapse of social infrastructure.

At the carnival-like rally, which lasted for nine hours, the National APC Leader, Asiwaju Bola 

Tinubu, described Buhari as the best candidate to salvage the country during the crisis period, noting that when developed countries were in similar situation, they beckoned on their retired generals for good governance.

He said: “In the last 70 years of nationhood, you have seen series of political crises. But one man has been very consistent, steadfast, brilliant, courageous, resolute, and an advocate of the poor. That is Buhari.”

The Chairman of the APC in Lagos State and the governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, promised to deliver 85 per cent of the votes to Buhari. Assuring that the progressive beat will continue in Lagos, Ajomale said: “Lagos will deliver 85 per cent of the votes to you (Buhari). Jonathan will not get 25 per cent of the votes.” continue reading
