Musiliu Obanikoro, immediate past minister of defence has urged voters to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan and Jimi Agbaje in the forthcoming election because the election is a must win for the Peoples Democratic Party.
He who hosted party leaders and his supporters at his campaign office in Lagos said “The presidential election is a must-win for PDP and not just for PDP, but for Nigeria. You all know I am a player at the national level, at the state level and at the local level. The presidential election is a national issue and for the good of our country, President Jonathan must continue and PDP must win Lagos because it is extremely crucial to Mr. President.
“So you and I will not rest until we have won. Let me also assure you today that Lagos is winnable, but we have to be strategic about it. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. At your level and at our level, all of us must sit down and put on our thinking cap. Just don’t wait for instructions anymore. Get down to work now because election is won at the polling booths and not at the State or at the Federal campaign offices. So, I cannot defend your polling booth for you. You must devise a means by which the party must win all the elections.
“When Buhari was in his 40’s, he couldn’t govern Nigeria. Buhari was Number 1, a Muslim; Idiagbon Number 2, a Muslim; Chief of Air Staff and Chief of Army Staff were Muslims. They were all Muslims. We don’t want that kind of Nigeria anymore. We want a Nigeria where everyone will have a sense of belonging. We have seen it all and we know that Buhari does not have the capacity to build Nigeria of our dream.”
