The President-elect Gen. Buhari has asked Ndi-igbo and other non-indigenes in Lagos to forgive the Oba of Lagos and move on for peace sake, and urged them to vote for APC. The president elect said this in a rally held in Lagos, yesterday for the APC gubernatorial candidate in Lagos.
Gen Buhari said Lagos is a home for all and we should look beyond ethnic differences. He further reiterated his commitments to rebuilding Lagos if APC is voted into power. See extract from the statement below;
“I admire what your governor has done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos.
“So, I assure you. If you vote for the continuity of APC in Lagos, you stand to gain more. It is in your interest that you vote for the APC.
“Please when you go home tell your neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC.
“When we were coming in our bus, Fashola told me how Lagos State had been spending to maintain the federal infrastructure here such as buildings, roads and other institutions. I had promised before that if I won the election and became the President, I would make Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola is already holding to me to that promise so I would like the incoming governor to listen carefully and make sure he makes me honour my undertaking.”
