You Need To Read This! Drama As Ogun APC Member, Tajudeen Diamonds Declares Presidential Ambition

he potential presidential aspirant presented a 19-point
agenda.
A mild drama occurred on Monday at a stakeholders
meeting of the Ogun All Progressives Congress, APC, when
a member of the audience announced his intention to
contest for the presidency in 2015 and sought for the
party’s support.
The meeting, which took place at the June 12 Cultural
Centre, Abeokuta, was presided over by the Ogun State
Governor, Ibikunle Amosun. In attendance were leaders of
the party as well as members across all the 20 local
government areas.
The presidential aspirant, Tajudeen Diamonds ( photo below), declared his
ambition during the question and answer session. The
moderator had asked participants who had questions to ask
to raise their hands. Mr. Diamonds did, and he was called
to speak.
Handed the microphone, Mr. Diamonds stated that he had
come all the way from Kano State to attend the
stakeholders’ meeting in Abeokuta and to seek for the
party’s support ahead of the 2015 elections.
“I am from Kano. I love APC. I love Amosun and I want to
say this publicly that I want to contest the presidential
election under the banner of APC, our party. How do I go
about this because I need your support?” he asked.
His frank declaration was greeted with laughter by the
baffled gathering. At this point, the Master of Ceremony,
perhaps presuming that all was not right with the potential
presidential aspirant, discreetly took the microphone from
Mr. Diamonds.
In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES after the event, Mr.
Diamonds rolled out his 19-point agenda which included 18
hours of power supply nationwide, the establishment of 36
Federal Universities of Agriculture, the creation of 300,000
jobs for each state, camera on every street across Nigeria,
more barracks, several National Film Institutes, N16,000
monthly salary for youth between the ages of 18 and 25 as
well as the construction of six refineries, among others.
Mr. Diamonds also made a case for a tenure of five years
for political office holders and stated that he would fix
minimum wage at N25,000.
He also disclosed that he had already printed over one
million posters, which would be distributed across Nigeria
in due course.
