‘It is in your interest that you vote for APC’ – President-elect Buhari appeals to Ibos in Lagos

Taking after the commotion that emerged from the recent ati- Igbo comments by the Oba of Lagos, President-elect, Gen. Buhari has engaged Igbos in Lagos state to make peace and vote in favor of APC in the April eleventh governorship decision to their greatest advantage, saying they will benefit from his administration on the off chance that they do as such.

As per him, all tribes are decently spoken to in Lagos state and there is no Northern Nigeria or Southern Nigeria, we have one and only Nigeria. Gen Buhari said this while campaigning  for APC Governorship hopeful, Akinwunmi Ambode in Lagos yesterday April seventh.

“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.” he said
