The Director General of the
Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Council, Rotimi Ameachi, has challenged the Ondo State
electorate that the February 16 presidential election is a must win in the
state, else his door would be shut against any request from them if results at
poll turned out otherwise.
Ameachi, a former governor of
Rivers State, who gave the warning on Tuesday in Akure, the Ondo State capital
at the campaign rally of President Muhammadu Buhari, emphasized that the people
of Ondo State should avoid the consequences currently being faced by the people
of Rivers State on the failure to vote in the APC in 2015.
The Minister of Transportation
further urged the Ondo State electorate to avoid being swayed by the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, as the APC was set to ensure that they get all the
benefits they deserve as a state.
“If we lose this election in this
state (Ondo State), anybody from Ondo State must not come to my office. You can
imagine my state, Rivers what they are losing for not being APC.
“You cannot trust PDP, when they
designed their railway project, they never included Ondo State but with Buhari
coming on board he directed that Akure, the state capital must be included.
“There’s no money to be shared
again like in the days of the PDP, what we are doing is to ensure that there is
infrastructure across the country as well as employment for all.”
Also, at the rally, which
attracted the governors of Ekiti, Osun and Edo States, the host governor,
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, assured that the state did not disappoint Buhari in 2015
and will not do such on 16 February, but to ensure a wider margin at the polls.
“All of us in the South West are
one, we are all for APC, we are for Buhari.
“When we were not in government
APC won in 2015, but now that we are in government in Ondo, it is paramount for
us to let the margin to be wider.
“We assure Mr. President that we
have already delivered our votes, you will win handsomely here, that is a
fact,” Akeredolu boasted.
