National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has lampooned the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Jimi Agbaje who is advocating freedom for Lagos State.
Agbaje had said he will free the state from Alphabeta Consulting, a company which he claims receives a percentage of every dime Lagos earns in taxes and revenues.
The former Lagos governor reacted to the comment, on Monday, at the APC stakeholders’ meeting in Ikeja. Tinubu said: “Those who said they wanted freedom should go and learn tailoring and vulcanising and we will do freedom for them later.
They do not have the people. “He was in the contest for the first and second times. He is in the contest for the third time. He will fail again.” Tinubu said Lagos must deliver at least three million votes for the APC during the 2019 polls.
He said: “Here in Lagos, we must maintain a strong outing for APC, a party of progress, development and economy. We must differentiate between a developmental economy and a container economy. We will not accept to get Nigeria corrupt again.
“We suffered 16 years of their failure and fake promises. We have made progress in Lagos We have become the fifth largest economy in Africa. We have six million votes in Lagos.”
