Fashola, Tinubu drum up support for Ngige

As the All Progressives Congress (APC) kicks off its campaign in Anambra State, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), and the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have called on people of the state to vote enmasse for Ngige, saying he is the most experienced of all the candidates being fielded by political parties for the governorship seat.

Speaking at a fund-raising dinner organised by the party in Lagos, Governor Fashola asserted that out of all those, who had offered themselves for the governorship of the state, Ngige was the most experienced man for the job, adding that experience was key to the business of governance.

The governor told the gathering of prominent Igbo businessmen and women at the Lagos House, Marina, venue of the event that, “Experience is very key in this business. So, if you support him, things will happen quickly because he has held that office before and that is experience. He has Federal Civil Service structure experience; he served as a director in the Federal Civil Service. The driver of government is the public service. That is experience”.

Citing his experience on being elected governor in 2007 to emphasize the importance of experience, Governor Fashola said because he was in government of the state for four years as Chief of Staff to his immediate predecessor, assuming duties as governor was not stressful because he already had the experience of office modalities.

Urging the people to vote for Dr. Ngige, Asiwaju Tinubu pleaded, “I appeal to you to accept Ngige as an actualizer who could change Anambra. If you give us Anambra and you give us Imo in the Progressives, you will see the entire East will change. Go round the South West you will see performances. All you need is a catalyst, a good example that will be now widespread”.
