Fashola canvasses support for APC candidate, Ambode

Governor Babatunde Fashola

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has urged Lagosians to vote for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Party, Mr. Akin Ambode, to sustain the programmes of his administration.

Fashola, who spoke at the Lagos Sea Food Festival 2014 on Saturday, said supporting the candidate of the APC would also ensure that the state continued to enjoy good governance and high performance.

The governor stated that the 2014 edition of the festival would be his last as governor of the state.

He said, I urge you all to support the new APC governorship candidate and make sure that the festival continues.

You have a role to play; you have to register and you have to collect your Permanent Voter Cards and then you can use your vote to choose who you want.

So, if you want this Sea Food Festival to be here next year; if you want Count Down to be here next year; if you want Beach Soccer to be here next year, the only way you can get them is to vote the government which is providing these activities in Lagos, the All Progressives Congress.

Fashola said what his administration tried to do by instituting the festival was to bring the rural fishermen and women into the city once every year as the build-up to the end of year activities.

Other activities that would mark the end of the year, the governor said, included the Beach Soccer event, the Count Down and other Christmas festivities which would lead to the New Year.

He said, This has not been without the support of the people of Lagos. This is what we do with your taxes, empowering people; ordinary working people farmers giving them a chance to earn a living so that we can equalise the distribution of wealth so that everybody can have an opportunity and be a part of this democracy.

Clarks allegation on plot to kill Jonathan absurd -APC

The All Progressives Congress has said the comment by Chief Edwin Clark, that if the opposition has its way, it can poison or kill President Goodluck Jonathan just to take power, is absurd, incendiary and unbecoming of an elder statesman of the Chiefs stature.

In a statement in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Clarks comment, which was widely reported by newspapers, was the latest in a string of statements by Jonathans supporters that were overheating the polity ahead of the 2015 general elections.

The party added that such volatile statements were even threatening the peace and unity of the country.

APC said, We have waited for several days to give Chief Clark the opportunity to deny making such a fallacious statement, but he has not done so, which means he was not misquoted and that he indeed meant what he said.

It is time for the President himself to caution his supporters for the sake of the peace and unity of our dear nation. They have been threatening fire and brimstone if the President is not re-elected in 2015, as if elections are won by threats. One has even gone as far as saying there would blood on the streets if the President is not re-elected.

APC said in making his dangerous comment, Clark probably mistook the party for the PDP, which has been described as the nest of killers.

Our party has never and will never contemplate killing or poisoning President Jonathan just to take power, as Chief Clark carelessly said. We are neither a violent nor an anarchic party. We do not seek power by any means other than through the ballot box. Therefore we reject, totally, the statement by Chief Clark.

We remind Chief Clark that since President Jonathan was voted into office by Nigerians, they also reserve the right to vote him out of office. This is the way it is done in every true democracy, and heavens will not fall if President Jonathan is not re-elected in 2015. His supporters should put their emotions in check and stop making comments that are downright treasonable.

It said it was a mark of the gross partisanship of the security agencies that they had turned a blind eye to all the incendiary comments being made by the Presidents men.

The statement added, The security agencies, especially the police and the DSS, have busied themselves with harassing and intimidating the opposition. They have engaged in torturing innocent Nigerians for political reasons, while pretending not to know that President Jonathans supporters, in particular Mujaheed Asari Dokubo and Chief Clark, have been threatening the very existence of Nigeria through their capricious statements.
