The All Progressives Congress has been called out by the Atiku support group over its control of Lagos.
GoldenNewsNg reports that the National Mandate Group (NMG), a support team of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar described the present Lagos State government as an oppressive government.
The group disclosed that the people want freedom after spending 22 years under the rule of one man, who allegedly uses all the instruments of coercion, oppression and electoral rigging to capture and treat Lagos like a conquered territory.
This was made known by the Lagos State Coordinator of the National Mandate Group (NMG), Alhaji Wahab Sadiq, who alleged that the level of dehumanisation is frightening.
According to the statement, under President Goodluck Jonathan, people enjoyed freedom as they could protest and be heard.
Sadiq said: “We restate our commitment to the victory of the esteemed PDP Governorship Candidate, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, also known as JANDOR, and his beautiful Running Mate, Ms. Funke Akindele-Bello, alias Jenifa.
“JANDOR is coming and 1,000 Wikes cannot save Sanwo-Olu. Let Sanwo-Olu and Wike take that to the bank.
“The truth is that Lagosians want a change. This is an oppressive government and people want to be free of 22 years of the rule of one man, using all the instruments of coercion, oppression and electoral rigging to capture and treat Lagos like a conquered territory.
“The level of dehumanisation is frightening. At every segment, from traffic to market, from transportation to education, this APC regime has dehumanised the citizens. Lagos has lost its soul. It reached its peak with the unprovoked killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate on 20th October 2020. But enough is enough.
“People remember that under President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP, they enjoyed freedom. They could protest, they would be heard and their complaints would receive immediate attention. They earnestly yearn for those days and will use this election to bring about the change.
“We are committed to PDP’s victory from top to bottom; PDP will take Lagos from its current bottom position to the top. At the national level, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will put together a powerful team of selfless patriots ready to take Nigeria from this bottomless pit of despair to the greatest heights of development and achievements.”
“Nigerians remember the good old days of PDP rule. Although they fell for the satanic allure of APC propaganda, people have seen the truth, Nigerians will willingly put PDP back into government,” he added.
