TAMBUWAL,TINUBU CALL ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN TO RESIGN

                         

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu called on President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office.

According to THIS DAY, the calls were made on Wednesday when Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara declared for a second term in office. The event was well attended by supporters of the All Progressives Congress,APC.

In a statement, Tinubu told the crowd of APC supporters, "Let me forget the protocol, because you are the voters. You are the people who must vote. We bring the greetings and respect of Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Edo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and the entire APC states in Nigeria. What I want to beg of you is to be ready to defend for change. The race has started again. We have endorsed Ahmed for second term in office as he has performed creditably well just like his predecessor, Saraki.”

"The thieves that daily steal your money. They have not given you any job; they cannot create jobs and they are starving states of funds to pay workers salaries. The best thing to do is to sweep them away through broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses.

"I saw the sea of refuges and the lies coming from Jonathan’s administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision, creativity; the lie of yesterday is what they repeat today and it is what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you. They are lying about the security; toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time to explain the logic of their lies.’

"But if you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the armed of the federal republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilised country Jonathan should resigned. But if he will not resign he should wait for our broom we will sweep them.

"Now it is time to apply commonsense revolution and it is about your lives. It is about your education, your jobs and about the security of this country. We stay together since independence and we will remain together. Anything affecting any section of this country affects all of us.

Tambuwal on his part said, "When it comes to presidential election, I am sure that the state will provide such leadership to the extent that we shall deliver this country to the government at the centre to APC.

"By voting APC at the centre you will be voting for prosperity and eradication of poverty. What we are witnessing today in Nigeria is not governance, but mis-governance. We are witnessing a system that does not have the interest of the people of this country at heart.

Tambuwal said he call on President Jonathan to resign from office because of all these mis-governance and the untold hardship Nigerians are presently passing through. If he fails to do that it is therefore incumbent on us as a people to turn en masse and vote him out come 2015. That will bring peace, progress and development of Nigeria.
