Nigeria will be liberated in 2015 –Lagos Speaker

By -
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, has said the country will be liberated from the ills plaguing the different sectors in the New Year. Ikuforiji said the election of the All Progressives Congress at the federal level would end the “16 years of strangulating rule of the Peoples Democratic Party-led central government.” He made the statements on Wednesday in a New Year message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rotimi Adebayo. He said, “As we all make it to this New Year, which would not have been possible but for the grace of the Almighty God over us all, we all should give thanks to God for His abundant mercies over us all, despite the excruciating pains that our people have suffered. And then we should all be ready to also celebrate this year which I am sure will be the year of total liberation for all Nigerians from all the numerous ills that made life miserable for our people since the PDP-led federal government came to power in 1999. “Now that the Almighty God has made it possible for us all to be alive to witness this New Year, which incidentally turns out to be another general elections year, what is now expected of our people is for them to gird their loins and make up their mind to vote for a completely new federal government in order to witness total change at the federal level.” The speaker urged people in the country to vote for the party’s candidates at all levels in the coming elections, adding that the APC would work hard to liberate the country. “It will amount to total liberation for the Nigerian masses from the massive corruption, abject poverty, homelessness, worsening electricity blackouts, over dependent on imported petroleum products, massive youths unemployment, insecurity nationwide and crass impunity at the highest level of government in the land, which have continued to render our people poorer and hopeless since 1999,” he added.
