ILORIN \u2013 The chieftains and leadership of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and its presidential train stormed Ilorin, yesterday, even as its\u00a0 candidate,\u00a0 Malam Nuhu Ribadu declared\u00a0 that he was not scared of acts of \u00a0intimidation by\u00a0the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stressing that the ruling party is\u00a0jittery,\u00a0knowing fully well that the\u00a0ACN\u00a0will\u00a0win the April presidential election.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his campaign rally\u00a0in front of a mammoth crowd in Ilorin where\u00a0the party leadership\u00a0 presented its\u00a0 presidential\u00a0 candidate, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and his Vice, Fola Adeola for the April election, the former EFCC boss noted\u00a0 that, the ACN is committed to the enthronement of true democracy that would usher-in good governance capable of accelerating the socio economic growth of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

His words,The PDP is aware that already they have lost the forthcoming polls, that is why they resort to intimidations, and\u00a0I want to tell you that, I am not scared by the intimidations of the ruling PDP government over my commitment to the good governance and this would not stop me from ensuring that the PDP will not\u00a0win the next elections in the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said \u201c nobody can intimidate me because Almighty Allah is in\u00a0 my protection and guidance and I will continue\u00a0 to work for the sustenance of good leadership in the polity\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said that,\u201d in the past twelve years\u00a0 of the PDP rule in the country, nothing is\u00a0 working as unemployment is at the highest level, power supply is not there, education and health\u00a0 delivery are in bad situation and this must be changed in the next political dispensation so as to move the people of the country forward\u201d.<\/p>\n

He noted that, the change that would come would not be through violence but through the voters cards so as to ensure the socio economic development of the nation.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu yesterday said that, no amount of\u00a0 intimidation would stop him from accusing the ruling Peoples Democratic Party of its misrule of the country in the past twelve years of governance.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0 also called on the federal government to see to the release of its party governorship candidate in Akwa-Ibom state that was allegedly arrested and arraigned before the court of law over the recent crisis between the party and the PDP in the state.<\/p>\n

Tinubu added that, it was disheartening that, these members of the PDP led government sent their children\u00a0overseas for education whereas the children of the less privileged are suffering as most of these children fail WAEC and NECO examinations nationwide.<\/p>\n

He stressed that, the people of the country should come out enmasse during the elections without minding the alleged plan to use police, soldiers and other security agencies to intimidate the voters so as to allow them to use their votes to vote out any misrule government in the country.<\/p>\n

Tinubu noted that, they should not sell their voters cards and if this is done, it would spell\u00a0 doom for the country .<\/p>\n
