I’ll transform Lagos, Atiku promises; Assures of freedom from their ‘Emperor’ …As Secondus declares el rufai a terrorist, wants him arrested.

 The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has assured Lagosians that if he is voted into office, he will transform Lagos and bring it to its correct status as the commercial capital of the country.

Alhaji Abubakar, who is also a former Vice President of Nigeria, gave the assurance at the party’s Presidential Campaign rally in Lagos on Tuesday.

He also told the huge crowd that he would address the peculiar needs of the mega state and that his presidency would liberate the people of the state from the hegemonic hold of a former governor of the state.

Also speaking to the jubilant PDP supporters that thronged the Tafawa Belewa Square venue of the rally   as the party’s Presidential train arrived the nation’s commercial capital, the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus stressed that a vote for PDP on February 16 and on March, 2, will mark the restoration of their freedom from the Emperor that has held them down since 1999.

He assured that an Atiku Abubakar presidency would mean restoration of Lagos’ lost glory as with him industries would be reactivated and more  jobs created.

“Atiku Abubakar would be in charge of his Presidency, he would be Commander in Chief, he will not allow a college of Presidents because he has the capacity and has been tested in public and private sectors,” Secondus said.

He took a swipe at the Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir el Rufai, who he described as a terrorist who should be arrested  and sent to the International Criminal Court of Justice ICC.

Prince Secondus said that Governor El rufai has shown himself to be the most dangerous person for democracy in the country with his terrorist language and threats to local and international election observers and should be arrested for his extreme hate words and divisive tendencies.

The National Chairman said that the Kaduna state Governor is the anchor of the All Progressives Congress, APC’s nefarious plans intended to manipulate the upcoming election.

He reiterated his earlier warning to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof Mahmood Yakubu that this election must not be rigged if they are to avert crisis in the country.

He said that intelligence available to the party shows that the APC and the government have concluded plans to arrest and obstruct the movement of PDP leaders as part of the grand design to clear the way for their rigging strategy.

He mentioned some states like Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Rivers where special security squads had been dispatched to help the APC implement their electoral fraud.

“Let me warn, Nigeria will not accept a rigged result and rigging by any means is a recipe for crisis in the country, therefore Prof Yakubu  better be warned,” he said.

The Senate President and Director General of the campaign, Dr Bukola Saraki told Lagosians that the APC vehicle has already knocked engine and that the people should, therefore, disembark from it and embrace the in-coming Presidency that would be under a competent Atiku Abubakar who has all it takes to rescue Nigeria.

The Vice Presidential candidate, Peter Obi and the wife of the candidate, Titi Abubakar as well as the former Governor of Ogun state Gbenga Daniel, former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Olabode George and the gubernatorial candidate of the party in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje, all addressed the rally making a strong case for massive votes for the PDP in all elections…

The PDP is in Abuja Wednesday for further strategizing before heading to Adamawa state on Thursday for the grand finale of the Campaigns for Saturday’s polls..
