Vice President, Professor Yemi
Osinbajo on Sunday said Nigeria cannot afford to allow looters and corrupt
elements to return to power, urging electorates to vote massively on February
16 for consolidation of the rebuilding process being championed by the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during a courtesy visit
to the Oloja of Epe, Oba Kamorudeen Animashaun as part of the next level
engagement to the ancient town, Osinbajo said Nigerians should not be deceived
by the very people who looted the country dry and now seeking to return to
power.
He said several initiatives being
implemented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government to create jobs
such as N-Power, TraderMoni and Markey Money, among others, as well as
provision of critical infrastructure were prevented in the past due to
corruption, and that it was important to let Nigerians know that the
forthcoming polls should be about voting for continuation of the dividends of
democracy.
According to him, “At the next
level government, aside from all these initiatives, we also want to establish
Entrepreneur Bank and Peoples Money Bank to complement the Bank of Industry.
What we have realized is that we need to create several avenues for people to
access funds to set up their businesses, and thereby create opportunities for more
jobs. Already, we are in partnership with the Africa Development Bank (AFDB) to
invest $500 million in creating jobs.
“Take for example, the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; it did not take them three years when it was
constructed but for 16 years, the PDP government could not fix it and they were
budgeting money for the road every year. The APC government is now doing it
with the right funding, the same thing with several rail projects across the
country.“
While commending Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode for the massive infrastructural renewal embarked upon by his
administration in the Epe division, the Vice President assured that serious
attention would be given to remaining roads connecting Lagos to Ogun State to
facilitate ease of movement and boost commerce.
“I have to thank our Governor, Mr
Akinwunmi Ambode who has shown a pattern of serious hard work. I have been here
a couple of times with the Governor to see the infrastructural renewal ongoing
here and I have to thank God for helping him to achieve this much for Epe.
“There is nothing we see here
that is not good. Every of his project here is good and commendable,” Osinbajo
said.
Also speaking, Governor Ambode,
who embarked on door-to-door campaign with the VP in Epe, urged residents to
troop out on election day and vote massively for all APC candidates.
“You know where my heart is. For
me, it is four plus four. So, on February 16, it shall be APC all the way from
Presidency to Senate and House of Representatives.
“Whatever you want to do because
of me, just know that it is APC all the way from top to bottom,” Governor
Ambode said.

Osibanjo is supporting a Jihadist because they promised him or the Yorubas presidency in 2023.If Buhari wins this election, Osibanjo will see the true color of Buhari and he will regret for the rest of his life for being spiritually blind and allowing the spirit of Balaam and Esau to get hold of him.
