PDP, other opposition parties are repeater stations, says Tinubu
ALL Progressives Congress stalwart Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said that he was confident of victory in the governorship and House of Assembly elections in Lagos State.
Tinubu, who voted at his Unit 047, Sunday Adigun Street, Alausa, Ikeja around noon, said the PDP cannot match the ruling party in terms of strength, numerical support, achievements and prospects. “We know what Lagos wants. Lagos wants progress and development. We want our children to make progress. We want the children to be better than us. We want them to become lawyers, judges, doctors, honourables. Why would they not vote? We give them free education. We pay their NECO fees. We pay their WAEC fees. We give them free JAMB forms. They go to clinics and take free drugs and they are treated freely if they are not more than 12 years of age. We set up vocational institutes for them.
He said many non-indigenes have been trooping to Lagos in search of the Golden Fleece because the state is working, productive, attractive and accommodating to all ethnic groups. “No nation, state has achieved financial independence as Lagos. Other states depend on allocations from the Federal Government. We do not depend on any allocation before we meet the capital needs, build roads; starting from Oregun Road. The real estate worth of Lagos to property owners is exponentially better than any state in this country. Lagos has become the fifth largest economy in Africa. Let me see the governor, the leader who has done that.
