Gen. Buhari pleads with Igbos to Vote For APC

President-elect,Gen.Buhari has called on
all Igbos to forgive Oba Akiolu and move
on.He said Fashola has done a great job
so far and it's in the interest of all to vote
APC.Speaking at a rally in Lagos
yesterday, he said.
“I admire what your governor has
done in terms of mobilising revenue
to sustain Lagos development. I
have a lot of respect for Governor
Fashola for his hard work,
commitment to the state and the
country. There is no doubt that
Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all
here and it has been mentioned by
previous speakers that everybody
(tribe) is adequately represented in
Lagos.“So, I assure you. If you vote
for the continuity of APC in Lagos,
you stand to gain more. It is in your
interest that you vote for the APC....
“Please when you go home tell your
neighbours, relatives and even the
opposition to please bury the
hatchet. Let them fall in line and
vote the APC.
“When we were coming in our bus,
Fashola told me how Lagos State
had been spending to maintain the
federal infrastructure here such as
buildings, roads and other
institutions. I had promised before
that if I won the election and
became the President, I would make
Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola
is already holding to me to that
promise so I would like the
incoming governor to listen
carefully and make sure he makes
me honour my undertaking.
The National Chairman of the APC, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, said Lagos was
responsible for building the opposition
and ensuring that it finally took control of
the centre.
He said it would be a great injustice for
Lagos to become an opposition state after
working so hard to build a bright future.
