The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, says his main contender, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje,
is an intern who lacks the executive experience to govern the state.
Ambode, during the party’s campaign rally at Ifako-Ijaye Mini Stadium on Thursday, added that the job of governing the state was too complex for an intern.
He described Agbaje as a pharmacist with just a chemist experience, who had been unable to grow his business beyond two shops.
The APC gubernatorial candidate said, “The job of the governor of Lagos is not meant for people without experience like the PDP candidate. He has no executive experience; his experience is that he has only worked in his pharmacy.
“He has not developed it beyond two shops. Lagos is too complex for an intern, we can’t entrust this state into the hands of someone who will experiment with it.”
Ambode therefore urged Lagosians to vote for him in the April 11, 2015 governorship election, assuring them that he possessed the needed executive experience to govern the state and move it to the next level.
He said, “Whatever project that Governor Babatunde Fashola has not completed, I will complete it; there must be continuity. We want continuity because Lagos is known for excellence. We will work together to make Lagos prosperous for us all and nobody will be left out.”
The candidate also implored the residents to vote out President Goodluck Jonathan during the presidential election scheduled for March 28, saying allowing the PDP to govern again was to further destroy the country.
Ambode cautioned the populace against the sale of their Permanent Voter Cards, saying it was their weapon to effect a change for good governance.
Meanwhile, Christians in the Badagry West Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, have been advised to collect their PVCs.
The President of Patriotic Christian Leaders Forum, Rev. Adefunmilayo Akitoye-Braimoh, made this call in Apa, Badagry, during an event to inaugurate the leaders of the PCLF in the area and to sensitise Christian leaders.
Akitoye-Braimoh said the next election was important for Christians, saying they must have a say by picking up their voter cards and casting their votes during the elections.
The president, who is also the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Christian Religion Matters, said the church must go beyond prayers by voting in good leaders. She also advised those who had their PVCs not to trade with it.
The Executive Secretary of Badagry West, LCDA, Joseph Agoro, said residents who had yet to get their PVCs should visit their polling unit from Friday (today).
