I Am With Tinubu 100% - Buhari

 The President of Nigeria, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has urged residents of Gombe State to vote for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu and other candidates of the party, adding that they ignore alleged propaganda about his support for another candidate.

Buhari, made the clarification on Monday in Pantami stadium, Gombe, while addressing a mammoth crowd when the presidential campaign council visited in a bid to canvass for support ahead of the general election in the state.

The Director-General of APC presidential campaign council and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, disclosed that the president was represented by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Pantami, at the event.

Buhari warned party faithful not to be deceived that he is fully supporting Tinubu’s presidency, saying that he would provide more dividends of democracy.

According to Buhari, his regime has approved over 65 per cent of projects in Gombe State, adding that Tinubu would ensure the gainful exploration of the Kolmani oil field in the state.

He said, “I want to remind you of the Federal Government approved projects in Gombe which are over 60 – 65 per cent; from taking over of Gombe Airport, to deliberate interventions in agriculture.

People should reciprocate the support by voting APC.

“I’m fully with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu 100 per cent. Don’t listen to lies.”
The President lauded the governor’s developmental strides, especially the industrial hub which was christened Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park, noting that it would yield the needed development.

Also speaking, Senate President of Nigeria, Ahmed Lawan, described the 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party as “reckless, one that should not be made again.”

“They refused to look at Kolmani, there was Boko Haram during their reign, Tinubu is capable to provide transformational leadership,”Lawan said.

On his part, the APC presidential candidate, Tinubu, urged the electorates to vote for him, stressing that it would yield the needed progress.

He called for support for the gubernatorial candidate and current governor of the state, promising to collaborate with him as president of the country.

2023: It’s Impossible – Dele Momodu Says Peter Obi Will Never Win The Election

 A spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Campaign council, PPC, has said the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi will never win the forthcoming presidential election.

Peter Obi is one of the leading candidates of the presidential election, with Bola Tinubu representing the All Progressives Congress, APC and Atiku Abubakar standing in for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The PDP chieftain was specifically responding to a poll result released on Friday which rated the LP candidate as having 95 percent chance of winning the election.

Appearing on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Monday, Dele Momodu said Obi cannot win in the Northern part of the country.

“In the South West, I can tell you that three people are going to share Lagos votes Tinubu, Peter Obi and Atiku. There’s nothing to argue about it this time.

The three will get their 25 percent then I don’t know who takes the lead and that’s all that we [the PDP] need…so whenever you have two Southern candidates, it’s going to be difficult and you can see that Obi is eating into the Southern votes.

“It would be a fantasy of the highest order for anybody to say Obi will win most parts of the North. It’s impossible. I’m not a gambler.

I would have put a bet on it but I’m telling you that it’s impossible. You see, polls are today based on the theory of who is likely to vote and of course it depends largely on technology…polls that said Obi will win the North are faulty polls.

“Obi cannot win the election. There’s no question about it.”

Labour Party Is No Threat: APC Denies Involvement With Attack On 'obidients'

 The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state has absolved itself of all blame in the series of attacks on the campaign trains of opposition parties across the state, saying the APC abhors violence.

While reacting to the allegations of his party masterminding the attack on some members of the Labour Party on Saturday, Spokesman of Lagos APC, Hon. Seye Oladejo described the allegation as baseless and untrue.

According to him, it is irresponsible and reckless of the tottering party to level such a wild allegation without any substantial proof.

He said, “We read with amazement the baseless allegation of the Labour Party accusing the ruling Lagos APC of being responsible for the attack of their supporters in Lagos.

It is irresponsible and reckless of the tottering party to level such a wild allegation without any substantial proof.

The APC as the ruling party in Lagos State remains the biggest stakeholder to ensure that there’s no breakdown of law and order.

We want to state unequivocally that our members were not involved in any attack. Our investigation into the concerned local government made nonsense of the allegation.

Our position has always been for the security agencies to do their job and bring those found culpable in any attack to book.
Those who alleged must be able to provide evidence and point at suspects and Leave the rest to the police and other security agencies.

We abhor violence as a party. Everybody has the constitutional right to support whichever party they choose and we don’t think that should make for any kind of violence.
We don’t see the Labour or any other party as a threat.
It’s important to put it on record that every indication points to our victory in the coming elections based on the widely acknowledged great performance of the state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu and other elected and appointed government officials during the outgoing tenure.

Our members have no business unleashing attacks on the opposition party.

The state government remains committed to the security of the lives and property of all Lagosians irrespective of political affiliation.

The Labour Party will do well if it desists from needless blackmail and face the substance of the expectations of the electorates.”
