JOHOR BARU: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is Barisan Nasional's number one choice for Prime Minister and there is no one else, says Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
The Johor Mentri Besar added that the Opposition have been playing up the issue on Barisan’s choice of prime minister in the 15th General Election (GE15).
“They have all been saying that my party president will be the prime minister. This is a lie as Umno, as well as MCA and MIC, have all pledged our support for Ismail Sabri and nobody else.
“You have my assurance on this. Do not listen to hate politics that is trying to divide us. We all should come together and move as one team,” he added.
He said this in his speech before officiating at the Southern Foundation at Southern University College here on Thursday (Nov 10).
Onn Hafiz, who is also Umno supreme council member and Johor Barisan election operations director, added that come Polling Day, which falls on Nov 19, voters should vote for stability.
He said stability had helped Johor attract more investments as investors were confident with a stable government.
“Because of this stability, investments have started trickling into the state resulting in Johor attracting RM60.9bil, which is the highest in the country,” he added.
