Co-Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council and National leader of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was a drowning party which lacked the capacity to win Saturday’s presidential election.
Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, stated this Wednesday, while speaking at a meeting of the party supporters at the party’ secretariat at ACME Road, Ikeja, noting that the PDP lacks the support across the country to win the general elections.
He further urged party members to mobilise residents towards the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that the party was not bothered about the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its antics but was only interested in the PDP which was its main opponent in the general elections.
“Muhammadu Buhari is our president we must mobilise from house to house for his victory. INEC is not our opponent; it is PDP that is our opponent and we would join hands and beat them at the polls. They don’t have our strength in North-west, North-east and North-central where are they going to pass? We are going to win,” he said.
“All of you that have problems go and see the leaders in your wards; you must have the membership register of people in the wards, tonight there must be meeting of your wards and you must give instruction to all members in the wards, we know how many pooling both are in your areas you must deliver them,” Tinubu said.
Speaking further, the APC leader appealed to Igbo indigenes in Lagos State to vote for the candidates of the APC in the general elections, stressing that he had blocked actions against them in the state in recent years.
“We appeal to our Igbo brothers, this is the state where you are doing business, working. Your children are in our schools we; don’t discriminate against them.
“We don’t discriminate against them in WAEC fees in our school, they are in our university; we don’t discriminate against them. Now this is the time we say help us vote for APC.”
“I was the one who saved ASPAMDA from demolition. If you are now doing this, rubbing insult on injury, we know how to behave,” Tinubu added.
