“Today, you have listened to a vice presidential
candidate telling you in 29 minutes many things you will never hear at a
rally because the time for such discussions doesn’t exist for many
Nigerian want to interrogate people making empty promises, the governor
said.But we chose to be different because we are bustling with ideas.
We know ideas can change things. He (Osinbajo) has spoken to you for 29
minutes. He has been on this assignment for only three weeks and he has
discussed power with you, he has discussed employment with you, he has
discussed agriculture with you, he has discussed welfare scheme, health
care, youth development with you without reading any speech. He has been
there for three weeks only and he has not been yet elected.Now what is on the other side (PDP), because I spent about an
hour listening to the president in my state? For almost the same period I
saw a very angry president. I saw a president who is lamenting about
people judging his performance and blaming all those who ruled before
him, forgetting that he has been on this job for six years.And he kept saying ‘they say we don’t have a plan’ and for almost
45 minutes he did not reveal a plan on security, he did not reveal a
plan on corruption. I listened to him. Now after six years without being
able to articulate what he has done and what he will do but blaming
everybody and forgetting that he is the Commander-in-Chief. If the
kitchen is becoming too hot as it’s becoming obvious he must get out of
it.”…this election is going to be about job approval. It is not about
where you come from; it is not about how young he is; it is job
approval after six years. Are you happy with your situation?So if after six years he has not been able to explain to you what
he is doing with your time, with your resource – 52 % revenue formula,
do you want to continue another four years?”
