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
