I Will Free Lagosians From APC – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he would free
the people of Lagos State from the “bondage” of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), which has ruled the state
since the inception of the fourth republic in 1999.
He asked the people not to vote for APC during the
rescheduled general elections but to cast their votes for all
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates contesting
elections, so as to be free from APC’s alleged 16 years of
oppression.

The President said this yesterday when a group of market
women in the state paid him solidarity visit at the State
House, Marina, Lagos.

Jonathan promised the market women that a PDP-led
administration in the state would provide the enabling
environment for traders to do business without hindrance.

Jonathan commended the women for supporting his re-
election bid and urged them not to be intimidated by the
opposition, saying, “I have listened to you; you have been
carrying the PDP flag; you have been humiliated but you
still marched on.

Thank you for working hard for PDP. This is the final
struggle and the time for us to use all our strength to
achieve victory.”

Earlier, the leader of the visiting team, Hajia Aminat
Hussein, had told Jonathan that they had stood by the PDP
since its inception but regretted that the members suffered
harassment under the APC-led government in the state.
