The
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has said a large number of
Nigerians still believed in probity and the concept of selfless
leadership.
The governor explained that it was in a bid to restore the hope of Nigerians that the All Progresives Congress was formed.
He added that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, which he described as a giant, would soon fall.
Fashola stated this in his speech at the
First Quarter Progressive Governance session on Monday in the Imo State
Government House, Owerri.
He said the emergence of Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, as the presidential candidate of the party and the
attendant excitement, had shown that the people wanted change.
He said, “Nigerians still believe in the
virtues of probity, selfless leadership and commitment to the greater
good in spite of the 16 years of failed PDP government and leadership
that they have been unfortunately saddled with.
“Many Nigerians have expressed
understandable frustration that PDP could not be defeated because there
was no formidable opposition.
“Our leaders have sacrificed their
smaller parties and leadership roles to deliver the first ever political
merger in the history of Nigeria.
“Nigerian electorate must elect the APC into government if we must experience change and save our country.”
The governor urged Nigerians to rise up like the biblical David and “bring this plundering goliath down.”
He added that the APC was ready to regenerate the country and overcome the challenges the country had been facing.
