Ajimobi
Oyo
South Senatorial District candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
Governor Abiola Ajimobi, has described this Saturday as a day of
reckoning for the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic
Party, to reap its 16 years of misrule.
He,
therefore, urged leaders and supporters of the APC to remain
steadfast and faithful to the course of the ruling party by ensuring
that they come out in large numbers to vote for President Muhammadu
Buhari to consolidate on the gains of the past four years.
Addressing
a stakeholders’ forum at the Western House, state Secretariat, on
Tuesday, the governor warned against complacency, adding that the
desperation of the opposition to upset the applecart was
unimaginable.
Ajimobi,
who attended the National Executive Committee meeting of the APC in
Abuja, on Monday, said that the national leadership of the party had
given the state executive committees the marching orders to go and
reenergize the party’s campaigns.
The
governor said that the APC was at peace with itself at the national
and state levels, judging by the huge turnout at its campaign rallies
and the insistence of the electorate not to be swayed by the
opposition’s empty rhetoric.
Ajimobi
said, “The opposition had adopted all manners of subterfuge and
empty rhetoric to mislead the people into supporting them without
success. Our people have refused to buy into their deceits, hence
their desperation and provocative statements.
“I
want to appeal to you not let off your guard for a moment until
victory is assured in all the elections. We should not be complacent,
because the opposition is throwing everything into this election as
if the world will end when, mark my word I did not say if, they lose.
“This
Saturday is a day of reckoning for the PDP for its 16 years of
misrule. After ruining our economy and creating many loopholes and
leakages that has pauperized the people and enriched their friends
they are now desperate to stage a comeback.
“The
APC has invested in the people in the last four years at the national
level and eight years at our state level. Abandoned infrastructure
and projects have been revived, with many at different stages of
completion.
“Saturday
is around the corner. All APC leaders and members should go back to
their various units and wards to solicit the continued support of the
good people of Nigeria. That is the mandate from our meeting on
Monday, in Abuja.
“Be
proud to be part of history by playing your part in the impending
victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates in the
coming elections. I, once again, also urge you to vote for me on
Saturday to represent Oyo South in the Senate.”
Ajimobi
said that he had laboured had in the past eight years to build a new
Oyo State, which had become a pride of the citizens and the toast of
investors and visitors, promising to attract more developments to the
state if reelected as senator.
Apart
from ensuring pervading peace across the state, the governor said his
infrastructural revolution had given every community in the state a
sense of belonging and a fair share of the dividend of democracy.
He
urged the stakeholders to go back to their communities and reenergize
the APC campaign till midnight on Thursday.
