January 3, 2015 – Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Abdul Jelili Adesiyan has vowed that no propaganda or antics from the opposition, All Progressives Congress (APC), would stop Nigerians from voting en masse for President Goodluck Jonathan during the February election.

According to him, “as we celebrate new year and the birth of Prophet Muhammed according to Islamic lunar calendar, I want to urge Nigerians to remain united and indivisible entity so as get to our dream land as a nation. I want every citizen of this country to use the period to pray for the peace and tranquility as we approach this year general elections.

I want to urge the electorate not to be distracted by the antics and propaganda machinery of APC by voting for the President en masse on February 14 to continue his transformation agenda so that Nigeria can become an Eldorado of Africa.”
