Tinubu To PDP: APC Will Disgrace Una On Saturday, All Igbos In Lagos Will Vote APC
APC boss Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday urged party members in Lagos to intensify the mobilisation for Saturday’s rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections.
Noting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was jittery, he said the ruling party will defeat the opposition party at the poll and put it to shame.
The former Lagos State governor also explained why Igbo in Lagos should vote for the APC, saying that the government in the Centre of Excellence has never discriminated against them and other non-indigenes in the distribution of the dividends of democracy.
Tinubu, who urged women leaders to mobilise traders for the crucial poll, also advised youths to heed President Muhammadu Buhari’s advice by shunning thuggery, ballot snatching and other forms of violence.
He advised party faithful to accommodate defectors from the rival PDP, saying that they had become legitimate members of the fold whose cooperation are required for mobiliasation for victory.
Tinubu, who urged them to use their index fingers to thumb print on the ballot paper, advised the party agents and canvassers to be vigilant.
He said: “You agents must report early. Be vigilant. Shine your eyes. If an agent goes to ease himself, the canvasser will take his position. A canvasser is also an agent.”
The party said there will be a meeting of party leaders with council chairmen at his Ikoyi residence today to discuss the preparations for the Saturday election.
Exuding confidence, he said: “We will win on Saturday and we will hold a celebration rally next week.”

APC will surely win Lagos state but nationally, PDP will send Atiku to Aso Rock.

Uzoma,, you might be finally shocked and surprised that it might not turn out the way you predicted. APC has gained mastery over election rigging. In fact they are very good at it as revealed by the two elections that were previously held in both osun and ekiti state. But I think Atiku is equal to the task too. He has his own network fully embedded among INEC officials across the federation in case of any attempt by APC to rig the election. So let’s see what we will have in the next three or four days of result.
