Lagos unveils alleged plan by PDP to cause violence

Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola, yesterday disclosed that the state has discovered some locations in the state where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) intends to cause violence during the elections.

The governor added that the list of the names of people PDP wants to use to cause mayhem during the election has also been discovered.

Fashola said this yesterday while addressing Muslim faithful at the Lagos Central Mosque, Idumota, Lagos after a Jumat Service.

“I want to assure you that we are ready for this election. We have discovered the areas where they (PDP) want to create crises. We equally have the list of people that will carry out the evil machinations. We believe they will not succeed. This election will be peaceful. Those who want violence will not live to witness it by the grace of God because if Lagos is peaceful, Nigeria is peaceful,” he said.

He urged the people to vote for God-conscious people.

Earlier, the Chief Imam of Lagos, Sheikh Garuba Ibrahim prayed for Fashola’s victory in the forthcoming governorship election.

Sheikh Ibrahim gave a staff, which signifies victory at the poll.

Baba Adinni of Lagos, Sheikh Afeez Abou hailed the governor for his sterling performance in office.

Sheikh Abou urged him not to forget his promise for more dividends of democracy for Lagosians if re-elected.

Fashola urged Lagosians to be at the polling centres as early as possible.

“You have sacrificed for three weeks during the registration of voters. It is time for you to make your voice heard. We all have more work to do. Get to the centre early and cast your vote for ACN,” he said.
