You Should Rather Use Your Votes to Push The APC into the Atlantic Ocean by Voting Massively for the PDP Tomorrow - Jimi Agbaje

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, in the person of "Mr. Jimi Agbaje", has encouraged Igbos across the state to push the All Progressives Congress ‘into the lagoon’ by voting for him tomorrow (Saturday).

This was said tho be Agbaje's words while addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba International Market on Thursday.. PUNCH reports.

The PDP governorship candidate has encouraged them to put aside the threats made by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, that if they do not vote for the APC governorship candidate on Saturday, they would die in the lagoon. Read his very words below:

“Nobody can push you into the Atlantic Ocean. Rather, you should use your votes to push the APC into the Atlantic Ocean by voting massively for the PDP on Saturday,” Agbaje said.

He encouraged the people to ignore the scare tactics being marshalled by the APC, saying, it was the antics of a drowning party.

Agbaje said,

“Election is like a snake. You have to make sure you win by killing the snake completely by using your votes to drive the APC out of power. The reason why they are harassing you is because they fear Igbo votes. They will try to do ‘shakara’ for you but you must vote massively for the PDP and protect your votes.”

Agbaje, who was accompanied by his running mate, Alhaja Safuratu Abdulkarim; and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, said the APC had become arrogant because the party had been in power for too long.

He said:

 “In the last 16 years, the APC has been full of arrogance. This arrogance must end once and for all. Saturday is the time to say enough is enough.”

Counselling the audience to shun and do away with violence but rather refuse to be intimidated at the polling venue, Agbaje urged them to guard their votes.

He said:

 “God is on our side and power will change hands on Saturday and life will be better for you and your businesses. There will be no oppression again because this election is about freedom from bondage.”
