Osinbajo Speaks On The Difference Between APC And PDP

Osinbajo Goes On House To House Campaign In Lagos State

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said the All Progressive Congress-led government will not leave the ruling of the country to thieves.

While expressing confidence that President Muhammadu Buhari will not steal the peoples’ money, he noted that grand corruption, which plagued the 16 years administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) contributed to the lack of infrastructure for Nigerians.

Osinbajo who was on a house-to-house campaign in Ifako-Ijaiye local government area of Lagos state further said the Buhari-led APC government would focus on jobs for youth, power and providing enough resources to financially empower petty traders and business owners.

Traffic was at a standstill as thousands of residents, including party faithful, market persons and the Arewa community, trooped out to receive the vice-president.

“The difference between us and the PDP is that we don’t steal government resources. We use it for the people. We earn less and we spend more on the welfare of people than the previous government,” he said.

“Everybody knows Buhari is an honest man. He will not steal public fund. We shall continue to fight corruption so that we can have enough money to provide infrastructure. We have to build on the foundation we have laid.

“The corrupt people will be jailed. That is why the corrupt elements in the opposition are desperate to regain power. We can’t leave government for the thieves.

“You should vote for APC because it is the only party that can do the job. We should not allow PDP to return to power.”

Osinbajo said the issue in the coming election was the creation of jobs for youth, more power supply, provision of infrastructure.

“The next level will be much better than today. More power will be available to the people and there will be more infrastructure,” he said.

“Too much corruption have retarded our progress. That is why Buhari is fighting corruption. If there is no corruption, there will be money to carry out the developmental projects.

“Buhari will fight for young and old. He will not allow anybody to steal public funds. The government will decentralised power so that there will be adequate and efficient distribution of power in the country. The government will provide adequate electricity supply for the household, artisans, corporate organisations and business enterprise.”

Meanwhile, Naija News reports that one of the former Presidential aspirants, Oby Ezekwesili of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN who recently stepped down has said she is forming a coalition to send the APC and PDP out of governance in the forthcoming 2019 elections.
