A National Leader of the All progressive Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has
\nsaid that \u201cO to ge\u201d, the slogan used to dislodge Senate President Bukola
\nSaraki is not applicable in Lagos.Loosely translated as \u201cenough is enough\u201d, the slogan yielded massive
\nrewards for Kwara APC as the party displaced all the three sitting
\nsenators in the state, won all house of reps seats and President Muhammadu
\nBuhari defeated Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples
\nDemocratic (PDP), with over 150,000 votes in the state.<\/p>\n

Some politicians and activists opposed to Tinubu had attempted to use a
\nsimilar strategy to stop the emergence of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his
\npreferred candidate.<\/p>\n

But fielding questions from reporters after casting his ballot at polling
\nunit\u00a0 047, ward 3, Ikeja local government area of the state, Tinubu said
\nin Lagos, the people should consider \u201co to pe\u201d, translated as \u201cit\u2019s worthy
\nof praise\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said there is a limit to copying concepts from other states, expressing
\nconfidence that his party would emerge victorious in the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe O to ge slogan is for Ilorin; Lagos is not Kwara state, and there is
\na limit to copying. Lagos should be O to pe, not O Toge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to win because we are the only party in Lagos state, others
\nare pretenders; they come and they will go away. Leopard cannot change his
\nskin.<\/p>\n

\u201cLagos belongs to the progressives; we are progressives and we will remain
\nprogressives. For Lagos, it has seen tremendous development since I was
\nthe governor; before then, the highest internally generated revenue (IGR)
\nwas N600 million, per month, now it is over N30 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo other state has achieved what we have achieved, financial
\nindependence, as Lagos state; no other nation, they all depend on
\nallocation from the federal government. Lagos State today will not depend
\non any allocation before we take care of capital needs; we build roads and
\nbridges everywhere from Oregun to many parts of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real estate value of Lagos state has exponentially increased than any
\nother state in the federation. We are the fifth largest economy in Africa;
\nlet me see that governor who will do better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tinubu said the the violence which erupted in the Okota area of state
\nduring the presidential and national assembly elections, is not enough to
\ngive the impression that the state is prone to violence.<\/p>\n

He blamed the media of giving hype to negative stories, saying that such
\nattributes would not bring the necessary progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take exception to what happened in Okota two weeks ago. I am very upset
\nabout that incidence placing Lagos as if we are violent-prone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have about 1,325 polling units in Lagos State and only five units were
\naffected in Okota. That should not mean that the election was a failure in
\nthe state.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we should rate it, the election should be about 97 per cent rate of
\nsuccess if right mentally. An incident in Okota should not be used to
\ngeneralise the whole election in Lagos State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success rate should have been the story, not the ugly incident that
\nshould be the story. For the media, how can five units out of 1,325 units
\nconstitute a violent election and were given hype that Lagos is violent;
\nwe cannot do justice to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can we have development to the economy and the medium of information?
\nIn terms of security, Lagos has always been ready to celebrate democracy,
\nand violence free. The security officials are doing well and the INEC has
\nstarted well too with the logistics well managed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to welcome everybody to Lagos State.\u00a0 We cannot stop
\npeople from coming to the state. If Lagos is not good enough, they won\u2019t
\ncome. If the state is plagued with disease or insecurity or unemployment,
\npeople won\u2019t come. Those leaving their states to come to Lagos are
\nwelcome, they are not a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
