President Bola Tinubu has described members of opposition parties in the country as reactionary politicians.
Tinubu stated this on Wednesday in Akure, at the grand finale of the campaign rally for Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ondo State in Saturday’s election.
The President, who was represented by his Vice, Kashim Shettima, asked the supporters gathered at the venue of the rally if any of the former governors of the state, either dead or alive, would have voted for any ‘reactionary party’.
He said that a vote for APC would be a vote for progress and would ensure continuous development that had already started in the South-West region.
Tinubu used the occasion to announce the approval of the establishment of a federal teaching hospital in the state.
“We bring you greetings from the president; if Ajasin were still alive, is he going to vote for the APC or reactionary party?
“If Akeredolu were to be alive, is he going to vote for the APC or the reactionary party?
“Would Mimiko vote for the APC or reactionary party?
“I urge you to come out enmass to vote for APC for the people of the South-West. Ondo State has two senior ministers, to whom much is given, much is expected,” he said.
The president appealed to the electorate to vote for the party in order for the good work to continue to continue in the state.
