- A Nollywood actress, Rachel Oniga, said APC should remain an APC state

- Oniga said the state should remain under the APC for the sake of continuity

A Nollywood actress, Rachel Oniga, on Thursday, March 7, said Lagos state should remain the All Progressives Congress (APC) state for continuity of infrastructure development.

Oniga made the remarks at the APC governorship campaign rally held at Ebute Meta, Lagos.

“Why I want l Lagos state to remain in the hand of APC is for continuity sake; and realistically, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the party governorship candidate is part of the continuity.

“When Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the governor of the state, there was development, and after him, the subsequent governors have been performing excellently well.

“So, let there be continuity. I know Babajide Sanwo-Olu will perform well as the governor of the state,” she said.

The actress, however, appealed to Lagos residents to come out en masse on Saturday, March 9 and to exercise their voting rights, irrespective of their tribes.

She also advised the non-indigenes in the state to work together and support the ruling party to ensure the continuity and progress.

“Most people from other parts of the country have business and investment in Lagos state, so we have to work together to ensure that government provides more enabling environment for the people,” Oniga said.

Also, Dayo Israel, one of the APC chieftains in Apapa Constituency 1, urged the residents to vote for the party’s candidates in the Saturday gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections.

“I am passionate about the development in Lagos state.

“I want to see a better Lagos, better environment, transportation system and see young Lagos residents employed.

“I believe Sanwo-Olu has the capacity to make things happen in Lagos state.

“That is why we are mobilising people in the communities, actors, actresses, and comedians who are here to endorse Sanwo-Olu as the next governor of Lagos state,” he said.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
