With Jonathan, Nigeria’ll Go Bankrupt In Four Years — Ambode

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has said Nigeria will go bankrupt in four years if President Goodluck Jonathan is allowed to return for another term.
He said since the rulling Peoples Democratic Party had ruined the nation’s economy, the option left for Nigerians was to vote en masse for the APC, pointing out that victory for the party would ensure freedom.

The candidate spoke on Thursday at the campaign rally of the party in the Alimosho Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “Victory for the PDP in Saturday’s election will lead to further bankruptcy of the nation’s economy. Vote en masse for the APC. The victory for the party will ensure freedom and liberate the country.

“If we fail to vote and PDP is still in government, Nigeria will go bankrupt in the next four years. This election is election of freedom to liberate Nigerians from the shackles of poverty and misrule.”

Ambode said the present generation should start thinking of, not only themselves, but also of their children and generations to come.

According to him, if Nigerians fail to vote out the present administration at the federal level, they have ruined the future of their children.

He said, “Parents should vote out the PDP for the future of their children. It is not a vote of tribal, religious or ethnic sentiments, we want to vote because of the progress of Nigeria.

“If your children ask for what you have done for the progress of Nigeria, you should be able to tell them how you voted out retrogressive government and replaced it with a progressive one; we must vote the APC at the federal level.”

Present at the event were the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, his deputy, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire and members of the Akinwunmi Ambode Kommittee of Friends,among others.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria in the state, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, led members of the association to declare their support for Ambode.

Also, a leader of the Alliance for Democracy, Dr. Abimbola Ojora, and some members of the Unity Party of Nigeria, led by its state Chairman, Tunde Osibajo, defected to the APC.

The RTEAN boss, Mohammed, said the association took the decision based on the good performance of the APC-led government in the state.
