Stop Misleading Lagosians About Federal Task Force – PDP Warns Fashola

Must read

The Lagos State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has cautioned Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola to stop misinforming Lagosians on the newly introduced the federal task force in the state.

Mr. Taofik Gani, the party’s publicity secretary said in a statement released on Thursday, November 6, 2014 that Governor Fashola was wrong to have misinformed Lagosians to ignore federal officials officials of the task force.

It said the party was shocked at the governor’s sudden verbal attack against the state opposition party in the quest of staying politically relevant.

The PDP also suggests that the governor has an ambition to become the next Vice President from the party platform and has such had been beclouded by his self- centred ambition such that he is now trying to impress his party, the All Progressives Congress, by verbally assaulting the integrity of the PDP.

The PDP also dismissed the allegations raised by the Lagos State APC that the federal task force were foot soldiers of the PDP ahead of the 2015 elections.

According to the PDP State Secretary, “The Lagos state PDP has come out to swiftly deny the existence of the federal task force for the purpose of election. We maintain that the governor’s information on the innocent Nigerians is not only empty but laughable and has thus reduced the governor’s office to a comic relief.

“Fashola is currently agitated and restless in office because of his over ambition to be the Vice President of Nigeria, a wish now strongly threatened by an opposition group within the APC.

“The attempt to be relevant and be in the media for the stated inordinate ambition has influenced the governor’s recent contributions to national issues in a negative way. We therefore counsel the governor to pursue his political ambition without blackmailing the PDP or the Federal Government but to maintain the level of decorum worthy of the office,” he stated.

According to the Lagos PDP, APC in Lagos is the worst chapter of the APC which has turned out to be “disillusioned, unpopular and only prepared to heat up the polity.”

“The domineering era of Lagos APC has come and gone in the state. We advise the chapter to get its information verified and cogent in order to desist from being a party of mockery,” the PDP said.
