office,where among others the embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal called on President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office because of poor leadership or face the consequence of the angry electorates that will vote him out with the Peolpes Democratic Party in 2015 election so that there can be peace in Nigeria.
Also, the
former governor of Lagos state and a leader of the party Asiwaju Ahmed Bola
Tinubu who was boisterous and energetic throughout the ceremony explained to
the mammoth crowd in vernacular language why they needed to vote for the
leadership of his party and vote out President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP in
2015 general elections.
Majority
of the presidential aspirants, namely
Alh Atiku Abubakar, General Muhammadu Buhari, Alh Rabiu kwankwaso and former
minister of FCT Mallam El Rufai were all in attendant.
Also governor
of Kano state and other governors of
the APC states, namely Governors Aliu Wamako of Sokoto, Adams Oshiomole of Edo,
Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and representatives from Osun
Ogun and Oyo states among others were all present.
The host
governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed and the leader of the party in Kwara state, Senator
Bukola Saraki also took their turn to justify the reasons for granting second
term to the incumbent governor and why they defected to APC.
Senator
Bukola Saraki said he endorsed the governor for second term because of his
impressive performance and loyalty and urged the people of Kwara not to be
deceived and intimidated by the power of presidency and members of PDP in the
state he described as artificial politicians who come around only during
election period.
The former
governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu told the APC members in
Kwara,’’ Let me forget the protocol, because you are the votes. You are the
people who must vote. We bring the greetings and respect of Lagos, Oyo, Osun,
Ogun, Ekiti, Edo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and the entire APC states in Nigeria.’
’What I want
to beg of you is to be ready to defend for change. The race has started again.
We have endorsed Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for second term in office as he has
performed creditably well just like his predecessor, Senator Bukola
Saraki’’.Referring the government of PDP, he said, ’’The thieves that daily
steal your money. They have not given you any job; they cannot create jobs and
they are starving states of funds to pay worker salaries.
The best
thing to do is to sweep them away through broom revolution. APC is a party of
the masses.’ I saw the sea of refuges and the lies coming from Jonathan’s
administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision,
creativity; the lie of yesterday is what they repeat today and it is what they
will repeat tomorrow.
They are lying
to you. They are lying about the security; toying about the security of this
country. I don’t have time to explain the logic of their lies.’ ’But if you
control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the armed of the
federal republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And
you give us excuses every day. In any civilized country Jonathan should
resigned. But if he will not resign he should wait for our broom we will sweep
them.
’It now
behooves you to begin a house to house campaign that this is a party of the
masses. You had not seen Bukola and myself mounting the same podium campaigning
for the same party before this time. This is a new beginning. This is a time of
good things and tidings from us. We have brought good luck and common-sense
revolution ’’he said.
’Now it is
time to apply common sense revolution and it is about your lives. It is about
your education, your jobs and about the security of this country. We stay
together since independence and we will remain together. Any affecting any
section of this country affects all of us.
