Presidential flagbearer of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Goodluck Jonathan, today maintained in Lagos, that victory for the party in the forth coming general elections in Nigeria, would translate into freedom from oppression for Lagos residents.
Jonathan stated this when leaders of market women groups in Lagos and environs, paid him a solidarity visit at the State House, Marina, Lagos.
According to Jonathan, "Our victory at the polls will free all Lagos traders from oppression. You need to be free; we will remove Lagos from bondage."
While commending the women for giving their support to his re-election bid, Jonathan urged them not to be intimidated by the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jonathan also stated that, "I have listened to you; you have been carrying the PDP flag; you have been humiliated but you still marched on.
"Thank you for working hard for PDP; this is the final struggle and time for us to use all our strength to achieve victory. If we struggle and win Lagos State, everybody will do his business without being harassed or intimidated."
