The All Progressives Congress (APC) publicity
secretary in Lagos state, Joe Igbokwe, has said that Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in the state would have to wait for 35 years more before the
party get to power in Lagos.
Igbokwe boasted that the APC will rule the state for the next 35 years as there is no vacancy for the PDP in the state, saying the people are impressed with the work of his party.
He said: ” We in the Lagos APC are even angry that the PDP came so close to defeating us in the last election but we will never allow this again. We will rule them for the next 30 to 35 years because the people of Lagos will be impressed with our hard work.”
The APC spokesman said this in an interview with The Punch. He added that PDP thought that the dollars spent in Lagos by former president, Goodluck Jonathan in the state in the build up to the 2015 elections would afford the party victory.
Igbokwe said:”We saw the money that former President Goodluck Jonathan brought to Lagos when he relocated here briefly before the elections. He gave out dollars and pounds. So, these were the things they did to win Lagos. Politics goes beyond this.”
He stressed further that he was thankful to God the PDP lost both state and the presidency pointing that if the party had won the election, soldiers would have been deployed to intimidate and whip Lagosians to order.
“Lagos PDP thought Jonathan would win and after winning, they would use soldiers and the police to intimidate us and chase us out … So, the PDP is not being truthful. If Jonathan had won that election, the OPC would have taken over. God, in his infinite mercies, helped us. Now, the PDP has lost Abuja and has also lost Lagos and that is why they are throwing tantrums,” he asserted.
