 Tinubu, is a Messiah, the best man for the job----Ogun High Chief tells residents

 (NAN) High Chief Ganiyu Egunjobi, the Otun of Egbaland, has urged electorate in Ogun and other states to vote en masse for All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, describing him as a "messiah".

Egunjobi gave the charge in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Mr Rotimi Sulaiman, on Thursday that Tinubu's recent campaign in Ogun on Wednesday was to woo voters, ahead of the forthcoming general elections.

The chief who is also the Executive Chairman, Agege Local Government in Lagos state, appealed to the residents to shun the deceit of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) açcusing them of being responsible for the country's precarious situation.

"Nigeria was in a wrong hand for 16 years under the PDP,  the main opposition's administrations were characterised by maladministration, incompetence and corruption.

"The country's present struggling condition is the consequence of PDP's sixteen years of misrule. 

"On the opposition's watch, Nigeria was in the woods; the economy was in comatose, with decaying infrastructure, and no finger was lifted to stem the ugly tide," Egunjobi said.

He  added that President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressive Congress administration has been able to steady the country's ship, and allegedly changed the narrative.

According to him, the APC administration under President Muhammadu Buhari, has scored high marks in many ways, particularly infrastructure, with his signature rail transport project, and rice revolution.

The high Chief said that the president just inaugurated Rail Mass Transit Blue Line, an electric-powered rail infrastructure, which on full completion expected to move more than 500,000 passengers daily. 

"No doubt, we are still battling the hang-over of PDP's sixteen years of misrule, so it would be foolhardy to elect the party again.

"In about eighth years of APC we have made remarkable progress. It makes good sense to vote en masse for Tinubu, a messiah of a sort, who has a record of performance in both private and public sectors.

"His achievements in Lagos as governor and emeritus governor speak for itself." he added.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tinubu/Shetima on Wednesday held its presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abeokuta, at MKO International Stadium in  Ogun. (NAN)
