President Bola Tinubu has described members of opposition
parties in the country as reactionary politicians.
Tinubu stated this on Wednesday in Akure, at the grand
finale of the campaign rally for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the All
Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Ondo State in Saturday’s
election.
The President was represented by his Vice, Kashim Shettima.
He asked the supporters gathered at the venue of the rally if any of the former
governors of the state, either dead or alive, would have voted for any
‘reactionary party’.
He said that a vote for APC would be a vote for progress and
would ensure continuous development that had already started in the South-West
region.
Tinubu used the occasion to announce the approval of the
establishment of a federal teaching hospital in the state.
He said: “If Ajasin were still alive, is he going to vote
for the APC or reactionary party?
“If Akeredolu were to be alive, is he going to vote for the APC
or the reactionary party?
“Would Mimiko vote for the APC or reactionary party?
“I urge you to come out en mass to vote for APC for the
people of the South-West. Ondo State has two senior ministers, to whom much is
given, much is expected,” he said.
The president appealed to the electorate to vote for the
party for the good work to continue to continue in the state.
Speaking at the event, the candidate of the APC, Gov. Lucky
Aiyedatiwa, said he was loyal all through till the end to his former boss, the
late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa assured the people of the state that he would do
more for the progress of the state.
Also speaking, the Minister of Interior, Mr Olubunmi
Tunji-Ojo, said the party was fully ready for victory and would win the
election in all 18 local government areas of the state for Aiyedatiwa.
The Chairman of the APC Campaign Council for Ondo Election,
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, said nobody should fight with opposition
other than speaking with their vote for APC.
Sanwo-Olu said the party was sure of victory in the election
and would still come back to appreciate the people of the state for standing
with the party.
The National Chairman of the Party, Alhaji Abdulahi Ganduje,
said they came to support Aiyedatiwa to victory.
Ganduje later presented the party’s flag to the governor and
his running mate, Dr Olayide Adelami.
