 The people of Ijaw Ethnic Nationality both within and outside the country irrespective of their political and religious affiliations have been enjoined to shun spurious information and unanimously vote for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the February 25 general election.

 

A Chieftain of the Party and the  Coordinator Joint Council of Tinubu's Support Group, and all affiliate bodies supporting the course of Tinubu’s Presidency in Bayelsa state, Prince Ebitimi Amgbare gave the advice in an exclusive interview with Global Overseer  in Yenagoa, while reacting against spurious information, blackmail and rumours being peddling in the state  by unscrupulous persons against the presidential candidate of APC, Senator Tinubu for fear of the massive support he got to sweep the poll on February 25.

Prince Amgbare who is the Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council Directorate of Tinubu's Support Group in the South-South geopolitical zone, reaffirms Tinubu as the choice of the people and the most prepared presidential candidate to rule Nigeria on May 29, 2023.

He reminded the Ijaws the strong relationship it had with the Yorubas, stressing that as Ijaw people we want progress; pointing out that if progress is what the people desire in Ijaw land, the man that can make it possible for them is Senator Tinubu, the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said it clearly that Senator Tinubu is contesting the election and campaigning on his exceptional track record, emphasizing that his victory at the poll will definitely benefit the Ijaw people.

"We need a Nigerian that will look at issues that we face in Bayelsa state everyday as Ijaw people. Our oil, the benefits from the oil; is it a blessing or a curse? Tinubu will tell you because he is a product of the oil industry. He was a treasurer of Mobil before this period. He understands the industry. And we will stand to benefit from when he is elected. He is bold and courageous to address the bottlenecks affecting the PIA that was passed into law to benefit oil producing states which the Ijaws will benefit.

Let us unanimously vote Senator Tinubu, the man who has a track record of delivering prosperity to the people; the man of vision, capacity, competence and integrity to do what is right,” he stated.

 The APC chieftain asserted categorically that Senator Tinubu is healthy and has no terminal sickness.

'"Talking about ill health, Senator Tinubu is healthy, energetic and has no terminal sickness. First life belongs to God. The old dies and the young dies. It is God who gives life. It is God who takes life. And that is not the function of age. Wet trees suddenly dry up and dry trees remains standing.

Buhari's case, therefore, is one that anybody who fears God to know that it is not the place of man to decree another man's death. It is only God that can decree, it is time for somebody to return back to him. He is the maker, the giver and the keeper of life" he stated.

He described the manifesto presented by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Tinubu as the best and the most prepared to rule Nigeria to better the lots of the people.

According to him Tinubu back up all his election campaign promises with actionable plans, saying that his manifesto is capable to address the myriad of problems bedeviling the nation and make life better for Nigerians.

He maintained that Tinubu's manifesto is not just stories that other presidential candidates presented, I will fix this, fix that and we can't see actionable plans.

On Tinubu's choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate, he said it is not to slit Christian Community but it was just for political correctness and Shettima's competence to join him in the task to enhance nation's growth and development.

He stressed that nobody goes in election to lose election, asserting that every smart person goes into election to win. He affirmed that Senator Tinubu is such a smart person but not that he does not like the Christians fate.

Prince Amgbare further pointed out that the APC Presidential candidate's wife is a Christian and a Pastor, declaring that Tinubu cannot fight against Christians.

Amgbare expressed optimism that Senator Tinubu will win the election with landslide by February 25, next month in a credible, free and fair election where he will be sworn in on May 29, 2023.

He used the forum to advise the electorates not to sell their votes, saying that their PVCs if used correctly will guarantee them better life.

"Bayelsans should resist the temptations to sell their votes, rather they should vote for competence and progress, adding that Tinubu is competence and progressive saying his presidency will bring progress.
