* Transporters root for Fashola<\/p>\n

By Olasunkanmi Akoni<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a\u00a0 threat alert, the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, said he has uncovered a plot by\u00a0 some known people to eliminate him. He, however, said he\u00a0 is not afraid to lose his life in the course of achieving\u00a0 democratic freedom for the country even as Governor Babatunde Fashola, the governorship candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the state, assured the people\u00a0 of more developmental projects.<\/p>\n

This came as a coalition of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Road Transport Employers\u2019 Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) and the organised labour, led by the state chairman of the road workers, Alhaji Rafiu Akanni Olohunwa,\u00a0 stormed the streets of Lagos\u00a0 in support of\u00a0 Fashola\u2019s\u00a0 second term\u00a0 ahead of the April 16 gubernatorial\u00a0 poll.<\/p>\n

Tinubu and Fashola spoke at the ACN\u00a0 rally in Ikeja,\u00a0 saying better\u00a0 days are\u00a0 ahead for Nigerians. Tinubu urged the people\u00a0 not to be intimidated by forces he said are inimical to the development of the country\u2019s hard earned democracy.<\/p>\n

The ACN chieftain declared\u00a0 that series of nocturnal meetings were being\u00a0 held somewhere in Lagos Island on how to eliminate him.<\/p>\n

Tinubu\u00a0 lamented that at\u00a0 a time ACN\u00a0 is campaigning all over the state addressing issues , the other parties are perfecting how to rig the elections , warning that such action could result in chaos.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0 urged the electorate to vote for Fashola, stressing that he remains the best man for the job and that a vote for him amounts to an\u00a0 attempt\u00a0 to renew the future of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Tinubu begged the electorate to vote during the poll and defend their votes. He\u00a0 added\u00a0 that the party is not into alliance with any party as widely speculated.<\/p>\n

Addressing the mammoth crowd at the Ikeja rally, Fashola assured the people of his administration\u2019s resolve to construct more roads in the state. The governor added\u00a0 that the economic prosperity of any nation depends on good infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0 carpeted the recently passed budget of the Federal Government, saying the budget will not bring about the expected rapid infrastructural development.<\/p>\n

Fashola\u00a0 said 77 per cent of the N4 trillion signed into law has been allocated for recurrent expenditure leaving only 25 percent for capital expenditure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the N4 trillion, 77 percent is for shop. Only 25 percent is for capital expenditure\u201d, he said and wondered how the small percentage can bring about good road, electricity and other social infrastructures. He explained that the problem is further exacerbated by\u00a0 delay in the passage especially, coming out at a time that rainy season has commenced.<\/p>\n

Fashola said his ACN government has already commenced working based on earlier passage of the state\u2019s budget, pointing out\u00a0 that in the past four years, his government has been able to work on 19 roads, bringing 17 to completion. He said the state has embarked on 16 drainage projects including canals. According to him,\u00a0 his government has delivered on promises made to the electorate.<\/p>\n

He promised to\u00a0 run an inclusive government devoid of discrimination and called on the electorate\u00a0 to vote for performance and not on tribal and religious sentiments.<\/p>\n

In another development, the coalition precisely started the solidarity march in support of Fashola\u2019s second-term bid at about 9.30 a.m, singing various songs of solidarity for the ACN and walking tirelessly from the Tafawa Balewa Square, through Apogbon and ended up in the state secretariat in Alausa.<\/p>\n
