Tinubu, who
addressed a urge crowd of party members and supporters at the flag off
of the APC governorship campaigns in Lagos, described the PDP an an
Ebola-infested party, urging the people to flee from its candidates at
the elections. He said Agbaje’s decision to contest on the platform of
the PDP is worrisome and embarrassing, adding that he took the wrong
decision at a time Nigerians were fed up with the ruling party at the
centre.
At the carnival-like campaign held at
the Skypower Ground, Government Reservation Area, Ikeja, party flags
were presented to the governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, his
running mate, Dr. Oluranti Adebule, the Lagos West senatorial candidate,
Yayi Adeola Olamilekan, the House of Representatives candidate for
Ikeja District, Hon. James Faleke, and the House of Assembly candidates
for Ikeja Constituency I and 11, Gbolahan Lai-Mohammed and Damola
Kasumu, by the party chairman, Otunba Oladele Ajomale.
Ambode, who was described as the choice
of the youths, promised to run an accountable government, if elected at
the February 28 poll. Exuding confidence, the flag bearer, who was
accompanied by his wife, Bola, said: “I have been an accountant all my
life. I will be accountable to you. We will make life more economically
viable. We will make Lagos safer. We will set up an Employment Trust
fund that will make youths have access to finance for entrepreneurship.
“I will be like BRF. I will be like
Asiwaju. I have learned under them. They will pray for me. I will
perform better than them. I will not disappoint Lagosians.”
The flag bearer added: “The moment of
history has come. We are excited. We are grateful to God for this day.
Our party exists in all local governments and nooks and crannies. We
stand for the protection of lives and property. We will carry all the
people along, irrespective of their tribes.
“At the centre, we need change. The
economy may collapse, if it is left in the hands of the PDP. Some parts
of the North has been taken over by the Boko Haram. Enough of suffering
under the PDP. We should vote for Buhari and Osinbajo on February 14
and 28.”
