The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has urged Igbos in the state to push the All Progressives Congress (APC) into the Atlantic Ocean with their votes.
Agbaje also urged the Igbos to ignore the threats being made by the APC calling them the final tricks of a drowning party.
The
PDP candidate made the statements on Thursday, April 9, 2015 while
addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba International Market.
“Nobody
can push you into the Atlantic Ocean. Rather, you should use your votes
to push the APC into the Atlantic Ocean by voting massively for the PDP
on Saturday,” Agbaje said.
“Election is
like a snake. You have to make sure you win by killing the snake
completely by using your votes to drive the APC out of power. The reason
why they are harassing you is because they fear Igbo votes. They will
try to do ‘shakara’ for you but you must vote massively for the PDP and
protect your votes,” he added.
“In the
last 16 years, the APC has been full of arrogance. This arrogance must
end once and for all. Saturday is the time to say enough is enough,” Agbaje added.
The PDP candidate made the comment in reference to recent anti-Igbo remarks attributed to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.
Oba Akiolu had told a group of Igbo leaders that they would die in the Lagoon if they didn’t vote for APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode.
