All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has hailed the people of Ondo State, saying they have always been a champion of people-oriented and progressive government.
Addressing the State rally yesterday, at Democracy Park, Akure, the state capital, he urged the people of the State to live up to that billing by voting APC all the way in the upcoming election. He also lambasted Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart Peter Obi, calling the former Mr. Privatise and the latter Mr. Stingy.
Taking a swipe at Atiku, Tinubu said the PDP candidate could not do it. “He doesn’t want to do the brave and hard work required to build a better nation. Instead, he would rather sell your birthright to the highest bidder and run off with the proceeds. He cares little that his policies and actions will impoverish you and leave you with nothing”,, he stated
On the Labour Party candidate, Tinubu said Obi had a chance to show how progressive he could be when he was governor of Anambra State. All he could do was boast that he saved money. But I tell you, it is a wicked parent that holds money in his hand yet allows his children to starve. Likewise, it is a heartless governor who holds back money when people go hungry, and schools, roads, and clinics went into disrepair. Neither the city-dweller nor farmer prospered under him”.
The rally, which attracted a mammoth crowd, was attended among others by Governors Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), former Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, and APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, who represented the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
