Falae cautions supporters against APC

National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and
chieftain of the pan Yoruba socio cultural organization,
Afenifere, Chief Olu Falae has warned the people of Ondo
state not to vote for the Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari
and other candidates of the party in the forthcoming general
elections.
Falae, a former Secretary to the Government of Federation
who hails from Ondo state, said the people of the state
should avoid APC members if they want corruption out of the
country.
Speaking at a rally organized by the party in Akure, Falae
alleged that the leaders of the APC were corrupt, adding that
the APC leaders worked against the people of the south west
when the speaker’s position was zoned to the region.
According to him “Bola Tinubu and his party by their
activities worked against the interest of the South West when
the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives
was zoned to the region.”
He disclosed that the leaders of the APC have no interest of
the country at heart, stressing that all the blue print proposed
by its presidential candidate, General Buhari was just “an
acted script full of political propaganda.”
He noted that, “if many of the recommendations of the
National confab like decentralization of railways control,
seaport establishment and control of mineral resources are
implemented, the South West and Ondo
State in particular would benefit immensely.”While urging
SDP members to support its candidates in the forthcoming
general election, Falae said a lot of employment would be
created for the teeming unemployed youths in the country.
Also speaking at the rally, the SDP Gubernatorial candidate in
Oyo State, Mr Seyi Makinde said the people of the South
West would benefit a lot if SDP candidates are voted into
government. Makinde, who narrated the history of how the
southwest was well governed by the Yoruba leaders in the
first, second and third republic, maintained that a wheel of
progress would be witnessed if the people support of the
region support SDP.
