Former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday declared that the All Progressive Congress (APC) broom revolution is ready now to sweep the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of power in 2015.
The change he told the teeming supporters at the party’s maiden national convention holding at the Eagle Square, Abuja has become necessary because of the manifest ineptitude and weakness of the PDP-led government.
A government he said that cannot protect her citizens such that 250 girls abducted in Chibok, Borno more than a month ago are still in captivity.
The people, he said, cannot continue to tolerate this government and APC had come to present the clear alternative.
Tinubu however said the successful holding of the national convention has shamed detractors who had said that it was impossible for the legacy parties to merge and form one formidable party.
“We have every reason to congratulate ourselves not only for the history we have made, but for showing that we are capable and ready to bring that which Nigerians desire.
“They have attempted to brand us a religious party, yet they failed. They should know that poverty knows no religion. We are making history today and assure that we are one and we must remain united”, he added.
