I am not salt. I am neither scared nor bothered by the rain. I shall remain in the rain to address you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Just go out and vote. I will be there in the sun. I will be there in the rain to serve you. Your own is just to go and vote for me. <em>Me I no be salt; I no dey fear rain,<\/em>&#8221; he expressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fashola\u2019s actions drew a rousing applause from the ACN supporters, who hailed him and sang anti-PDP songs that was supported by the popular local artiste, Daddy Showky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fashola told the residents that his government had built a number of developmental projects, including schools, roads and health centres, promising to do more if re-elected. &#8220;Our plans for Lagos and Ajeromi\/Ifelodun and its environs are great,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier, the state chairman of the party, Otunba Henry Ajomale, had reiterated that Fashola had through developmental projects done every Lagosian proud and as such deserved their votes in the approaching election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He warned the ACN supporters not to be provoked by the antics of the PDP, saying they were out to intimidate and confuse them into action. &#8220;Don\u2019t let them provoke or confuse you. They won\u2019t succeed because we have no problem returning our governor as well as ensuring that all our other candidates are voted for,&#8221; he counselled.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/fbcb4a38thumbnail.php_.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The rest is here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thenationonlineng.net\/web3\/news\/31872.html\" title=\"Fashola campaigns in rain, shuns umbrella\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fashola campaigns in rain, shuns umbrella<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Lagos State Governor, Mr. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-339392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
