Osinbajo flags off door-to-door campaign in Lagos

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday flagged off a door –to- door campaign for President Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos.

He said the difference between Buhari and other candidates in the 2019 elections is the president will not steal or allow stealing of public funds.

Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo with the CDA Chairman Oluwole Estate Ogba Ikeja, Mrs. Sukurat Ashiru and his family during the flag off a door to door campaign in Lagos at the weekend. 

Osinbajo said some leaders who would steal while others will  use the country’s money for the common good, noting that Buhari belongs to the latter category.

 “We should not allow those who have stolen our money in the past to come back. They stole all the money and they want to come back. People are saying, enough is enough,” he said.

“In four years, PDP spent $383 billion. And they want to come back. 16 years is enough.

“After 16 years of ensuring that the country did not make progress, they want to come back. They will never come back,” he said.

Osinbajo said that Nigeria’s greatest problem was corruption and not planning because without money you could not executive any plan; hence the need to stop those who had stolen in the past from returning.

The vice president said the door-to-door campaign was more effective in reaching out to the people, saying it goes a long way in speaking directly to the people about the plans of the government for the people.

Director-General of the Prof Yemi Osinbajo Support Group, Pastor Yomi Kasali, said the organisation had raised 900,000 canvassers for Lagos State.

He explained that each canvasser was expected to meet with 50 people.

The vice president visited some parts of Sogunro community, Ogba , Ikeja to seek support directly from voters in their homes.
