Obanikoro mobilises followers for Jonathan, Agbaje

Immediate past Min­ister of State for De­fence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has urged his supporters to work for the success of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje at 2015 elec­tions.

Obanikoro disclosed this when he hosted his supporters and party lead­ers at his campaign office in Lagos yesterday.
He urged them to forget the pains of the past and move on with determined zeal to ensure victory for the party at all levels.
He also pleaded with the supporters not just to en­sure President Jonathan’s victory but also that of Jimi Agbaje.
His words: “Let me tell you one of the reasons why we initially agreed to go on. 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 a 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. So I cannot defend your polling booth for you. You must devise a means by which the party must win all the elections. So we want to be hearing from you hence­forth about your polling units, your wards and ev­ery other issue that are cru­cial for us to win.
“Before the end of next week, we shall create a call centre that will be manned by people from different ethnic groups to take your calls and complaints. Go and get your Permanent Voters Card and be pre­pared. No one lives in the past and succeeds. The past is gone. Let us confront the future and to have a suc­cessful one, we must work for it.
Obanikoro informed them that they would be rewarded for their loyalty and hardwork and prom­ised his committment to the project of ensuring vic­tory for President Jonathan and Jimi Agbaje and all candidates for the State House of Assembly, Sena­torial and Federal House of Representatives.
