hehehehe...............Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in Onitsha, Anambra state yesterday
to flag off the party's governorship campaign in the state. While
speaking to the party members to vote for the party's candidate, Tony
Nwoye, during the November 18th election, Osinbajo said the party does
not make promises it doesn't keep and that they would keep every
electoral promise they make to Anambra residents.
'I have come on behalf of Mr. President, many people know already
that our President is a man who loves this State, and if you are looking
for evidence that he loves this State, I am sure that you will not look
very far. The first time that he ran for President, his running mate
was from this State, yes, Chief Chuba Okadigbo. The second time that he
ran, his running mate was from this State also, Chief Ume-Ezeoke. So I
want you to give Mr. President 3 Gbosas! (Crowd responds!) The APC
government is a government that will do everything it has promised. We
are not making promises for nothing. The second Niger Bridge, we have
been talking about it for a long time, but for the first time, the
President went by himself to negotiate the facility to do that second
Niger Bridge. That is why the second Niger Bridge is in our current
budget and we have provided for it. In fact, I am being reminded that
just two days ago, the Sovereign Wealth Fund paid N2billion for that
same project. (Sum paid to the contractor Julius Berger for early works)
We will definitely see our second Niger Bridge, we will not make
promises we cannot keep. When we were talking about railways, Lagos –
Calabar railway, under the old administration, I will not mention them
by name, they said Lagos will go to Calabar, there was no connection to
the Southeast. It was when President Muhammadu Buhari came, that we
re-designed the Lagos – Calabar, in order to pass through Onitsha in the
first place. That new design is what we also have- the Port Harcourt -
Maiduguri railway, which has a connection to Umuahia, Owerri, Enugu, and
Awka. So we will not make promises we cannot keep, we will keep our
promises'.
Speaking further, Osinbajo said
'This State was the first to receive our Home-Grown School Feeding
Programme, we gave this State money first for that programme. And we
have already in 807 schools, here in Anambra State, fed young children
in primary schools. We have over 103,000 children that are already being
fed here in Anambra. The school feeding programme is an APC programme
and we have engaged over a thousand cooks. Also, we have our N-Power
programme for young graduates. Already we have employed 4,518 young
graduates and we intend to increase the number. We will not make any
promise we cannot keep. That is why I am so sure you will be making the
right choice, you will be doing the right thing. How many people know
that when you do the right thing, you will get the right result? One
plus one is two not two and a half, two plus two is four not four and a
half. If you make the right choice, you will get the right results. When
we made the right choice and voted the APC, we are getting the right
results. By the grace of God, you in Anambra State will also get the
right results. So it is my very special pleasure now, to invite the
National Chairman to present our flag, I am going to join him. The
proper person to present the flag is our Chairman, so that it will be
valid, because we don’t want any invalid presentation of our flag, and I
will also accompany him and all of us here will accompany him'.
