All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that he is ahead of those who plan to sink the February 25 elections with the hoarding of the new naira notes and the scarcity of fuel in the whole country.

Tinubu speaking on Friday in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti state at the APC presidential campaign rally, claimed that the unnamed individuals in the corridor of power were planning to create an atmosphere of instability, delay the presidential election and to impose an interim national government.

He reiterated his earlier stance that it is Yoruba’s turn to produce the country’s president, saying “this election is yours. It is the election that you will use to free yourself.”

The APC standard bearer who spoke in Yoruba at the meeting stated that “those who kept the new currency in their vaults would eventually release them”, and urged the long-suffering Nigerians not to fall for the trick of getting them to provoke violence and anarchy over the scarcity of the redesigned currencies.

Tinubu also lashed out at suspected saboteurs who allegedly hoard Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and prevent eligible voters from collecting them, urged those who had not yet collected their cards to “hold those holding your cards until they release them to allow the neck hanging”. You.”

He urged voters to vote for all APC candidates in the February 25 National Assembly elections and March 11 gubernatorial and House of Representatives elections, “because the party provides a platform for good governance and responsible leadership.”

He said, ‘They have money under lock and key. Go to your polling stations, vote and stick to your vote.

“I use God to beseech you, this matter is not a fight, don’t fight them. Those who have locked your money will eventually unlock it. They do it to anger you so you can get violent, and they will postpone the election to bring in an interim government. We are wiser than them and just as far ahead of them. The rat that eats poison will kill itself.”

Earlier, Governor Biodun Oyebanji urged the people of the state to vote massively for APC and Tinubu to reciprocate his good deeds and love for Ekiti in recent years.

He said: “We have all decided to vote for Asiwaju and there is no need to worry. Ekiti people, you all have decided to give your vote to Asiwaju and the ballot boxes will be full of votes for him as he has always stood by us and we will appreciate him with our votes on February 25th.

“Let’s go back to our neighborhoods, homes, churches, mosques, markets and other places to spread the gospel of Asiwaju to the voters. Tell your people to collect their PVCs, those who are still without PVCs don’t like Asiwaju.

“Asiwaju’s votes are our votes and we must all join hands to secure his victory. Let’s choose all APC candidates for the Senate, House of Representatives and House of Representatives with our votes.”

Former governor Fayemi said Tinubu stood by Ekiti when the progressives were in the trenches and urged the people of the state to return the APC presidential candidate’s good gestures at the polls.

Also, the senator representing Ekiti’s central senatorial district, Opeyemi Bamidele, expressed confidence that Ekiti’s voters would vote massively for Tinubu based on his unrivaled record of governance.

Bamidele, seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, who declared this at the meeting in Ado-Ekiti, described Tinubu as a thinker with a great intellect, a rousing popularity, unifying tentacles and a relentless focus on good governance needed to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari at the end of his term.

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Affairs Committee added that Tinubu has developed a workable blueprint to rewrite Nigeria’s history and inject good governance into the body, to ensure he is not seeking power to to gamble with the fate of Nigeria.
