…. As mammoth crowd receives him in Ondo
….Vows to abolish Estimated electricity billing
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu today held his Mega Rally in Akure, the Ondo State capital as he was received by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and mammoth crowd of party’s leaders and supporters.
He was received at the Akure Airport by Akeredolu in company of other APC Governors and leaders in the Southwest.
The expansive M.K.O Abiola Democracy Park, venue of the rally, was filled to the brim as party leaders, members and supporter of the APC trooped out enmass to wait patiently for Tinubu and his entourage.
Akeredolu said Ondo State and the entire Southwest region would support Tinubu/Shettima ticket massively.
Also speaking, the APC Chairman in Ondo State, Engr Ade Adetimehin assured that the party leaders from across the state are well-united to deliver for Tinubu comes next month.
Addressing and entertaining the crowd with dancing steps, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu said he would abolish estimated electricity billing if he emerged the President next month.
He said Nigerians will suffer and hungry if they voted for the Labour Party candidate, Mr Peter Obi, noting that the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has nothing to offer than to sell the nation’s critical assets to highest bidders and squander such funds.
Tinubu said, “Ondo is known as progressive state, follow by other states like Ogun, Oyo and I appreciate our progressives governors. This incoming election is our own, is the vote of inheritance. It is vote of three in one. Don’t lose your PVCs, your PVCs is your right.
“Our rally today is a signal of our renewed Hope for Nigeria, that February 25, you will go and make a wise decision, you will vote massively for me, I’m too sure and very sure that you will vote for APC and that’s why I’m very happy.
“I will win this election. Atiku cannot do it, he doesn’t want to build a better nation instead he will rather sell your birthright to the highest bidders. Atiku policies and action are nothing.
“Obi has a chance to show up a progressive when he was a governor of Anambra state, all he could do was to boast that he save money when he was the Governor of Anambra state.
“Obi has nothing to be proud of instead he made people of Anambra cries and he claimed to be party labour leader.
“My people, you cannot entrust your future of that of our nation to Atiku and Obi. What has Atiku has brought to Nigeria?.
Taking a swipe at Atiku, Asíwájú Tinubu said the PDP candidate could not do it.
“He doesn’t want to do the brave and hard work required to build a better nation. Instead, he would rather sell your birthright to the highest bidder and run off with the proceeds.
“He cares little that his policies and actions will impoverish you and leave you with nothing.”
On the Labour Party candidate, Tinubu said Obi had a chance to show how progressive he could be when he was governor of Anambra State.
“All he could do was boast that he saved money. But I tell you it is a wicked parent that holds money in his hand yet allows his children to starve.
“Likewise, it is a heartless governor who holds back money when people went hungry, schools, road and clinics went into disrepair. Neither the city-dweller nor farmer prospered under him.
“In the end, he refused to save the people because he preferred to save the money.
And he claims to be the party of labor. You will have to be laboring under a terrible delusion if you think he will do better for the nation than he did for Anambra State.
Buyer beware of salesmen selling fake merchandise.
“The truth of the difference between my leadership and that of Mr. Obi lies in one observation. Although Lagos is crowded and Anambra has ample space, more people left Obi’s Anambra seeking a better life in Tinubu’s Lagos than left Lagos believing Obi had established a blueprint for growth in Anambra.
“My people, you cannot entrust your future or that of our nation to Mr. Sell Everything Atiku or Mr. Stingy Obi. But you can trust Mr. Progressive Good Governance Tinubu!”
“Myself and my running mate, Shettima are ready to renew your hope through empowerment for all of you, if you give me your mandate as you promised, I will work so hard, put money in your pocket.
“I love what governor Akeredolu has done in Ondo state, he has improved the infrastructure status of Ondo state. We will work together with Ondo state to be an economic centre. We will develop the Ondo Deep Sea Port. We will develop uninterrupted energy.
“We will do more to develop Ondo state and Nigeria as a whole. We are a people of peace and prosperity. Our educational sector will receive priority in our government. No children of the poor will be left behind. If you don’t have the money, we will establish student credit loan so that you can go to school. You will be educated, you will be expert,” Tinubu said.
The rally was attended by the Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, Southwest Governors and the National Secretary of the APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore; the APC National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Hon Isaacs Kekemeke; all the 9 APC House Representatives Candidates including Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, BTO, for Akoko Northeast/Northwest; Otunba Gboyega Adefarati for Akoko Southwest/Southeast; Hon Donald Ojogo for Ilaje/Ese-odo; Hon Tajudeen Adefisoye as well as Hon Festus Adefiranye for Ileoluji/Okeigbo/Odigbo; while the APC Senatorial Candidates for Ondo South and Ondo North, Dr Jimoh Ibrahim and Pastor Jide Ipinsagba respectively.
