Buhari, ambode
“In and outside of the stadium, you can
see the crowd that has turned out here and we are very grateful that
Lagos has been signed, sealed and delivered to APC already. The message
is very clear.
“We
appreciate Mr. President for his support to our State in the last three
and half years. The achievements that we have recorded in Lagos were
possible because of his support. This election is not about tribe or
religion, it’s about infrastructure, jobs and the economy and the right
path to go is to go to the APC.
“if you see what we are going in Lagos
already, you will see that the Airport road is not for the Yorubas or
the Igbos or the Hausas, its about making life comfortable for Nigerians
and that is why Mr. President has continually supported all our
projects by even refunding some of the funds we used for capital
projects so that we can complete more projects.
“If you remember, the first two years of
this administration we were in recession caused by the PDP, but in the
last two years, we have stabilized, we have created the groundwork for
growth and that is where APC is different from the PDP. They will tell
you that they want to make Nigeria work again, but ask them who
destroyed Nigeria in the first place?

“Therefore, this election is about moving
the economy forward and for this to be possible, we need to continue on
the foundation that we have already made in the last four years. APC
remains one party, we remain one nation and one family,” Ambode added.
