No tribe Discrimination - Ambode

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised not to
discriminate against any tribe if he is voted into office, a
statement on Monday said.
Ambode was quoted as saying this barely a day after the
Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, reportedly threatened the Igbo
voters in the state to either vote for Ambode on Saturday or
be drowned.
The APC candidate, while receiving 20 buses from a group,
Nigeria Progressive Ambassadors, in Lagos, said, “Every
group in Lagos is safe in my hands as governor. I will not
discriminate against any religious or ethnic group. It is our
Lagos and we must build it together.
“In my acceptance speech after the primaries I made this
note that I will be a governor for all and Lagos is safe in my
hands. I want to build on the foundation of unity, peace and
progress and development laid by my predecessors.
“I am your best choice for a Lagos that must continue to
thrive. And though tongue and tribe may differ we stand in
brotherhood in Lagos from the smallest ethnic groups to the
major ones. We are all stakeholders”.
General Secretary of the NPA, Miss Vuakpor Ojo, who spoke
for the group, said members were made up of young
persons who strongly believe in the future of Lagos and the
country as a whole.
Ojo said, “We are body of forward-thinking Nigerians who
are ready to partner with people who have the ability to
give an enabling future to this state and sustain its
excellence”.
“You are one of us, and these donation of 20 buses depicts
our commitment to the cause to make a detribalised leader
like you, who understands the cosmopolitan nature of
Lagos, govern the state starting May 29.”
