WHY NIGERIANS MUST VOTE OUT JONATHAN, BY TINUBU

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday accused President Goodluck Jonathan of failing to sustain payment for the life insurance of soldiers confronting the insurgents in the North-East part of the country. The former governor alleged that instead of the prompt payment of the life insurance scheme for the brave soldiers to boost their morale, the president and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) “concentrate money in bribing people.” Speaking at the APC
rally in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos, Tinubu said President Jonathan deserved to apologise to Nigerians for allegedly failing to fulfil all the promises he made before he was elected in 2011.
He said: “Jonathan never says to Nigerians, ‘I am sorry.’ Today, he cannot pay insurance for the life of the soldiers and the police, who are working in danger. They have concentrated money in bribing people. The exchange rate is very high and he says he want to make vehicles for Nigeria. “He doesn’t know how to govern the country.
We have given him opportunity to govern Nigeria for six years and he has failed; he should leave office. We will not vote for PDP again; they don’t know how to govern.” Tinubu described the forthcoming general elections as a common sense revolution. He said the PVC means “Please Vote for Change” and therefore urged the people to vote into office, someone who can perform to Nigerians’ expectations. His words: “Majority of Nigerian youths are looking for jobs. Six years ago, he appealed to Nigerians that he has no shoe and because of that people voted for him.
The president had spent six years in office and he is yet to do what he promised Nigerians. “He has failed in the area of power and that has affected many small and medium scale businesses. Today, they are Miasking for people to pay for electricity that they don’t use. That is double jeopardy; money for diesel, money for electricity failure. Can we allow that one to continue? We need change. “The assignment we want to do is to change Nigeria. They are stealing our money every day. If they can save that money Nigerians would not suffer. “If a government have been there for 16 years and you don’t see progress, you must move out of that government; send them away. Enough is enough. Failure is not part of us.
“Our brothers and sisters from the East, there is no difference between us. The vote is about salvation, happiness and together in unity; we can rescue Nigeria and lead it to prosperity.” While presenting Akinwunmi Ambode to the party faithful, Tinubu said the party’s governorship candidate in the state would perform well like Governor Babatunde Fashola, assuring that Ambode possess the needed experience. He said: “Fashola is brilliant; he knows how to do the work and that was why he has performed credibly well in the last eight years. We are presenting another brilliant person to Lagosians for governor in the person of Akinwunmi Ambode. We don’t need to give him any kick-starter because he is brilliant and knows the job.
He will start working immediately he is sworn into office. “Lagos State is a model to many states and many states have come to Lagos to learn. Ghana has also come to learn from Lagos. We must not lose our votes by voting base on religion and ethnicity. These elections are about vote for prosperity, reform, relieve, restructure, salvation and all the change votes.”
