The Lagos State PDP has strongly berated Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola
for deliberately boycotting the Session of the Presidential Advisory
Committee on National Dialogue which held last Friday in Lagos State.
The Party described the Governor’s action as Unpatriotic, Anarchist and
condemnable, stating further that the Governor has finally betrayed the
Oath of Office to represent the interest of Lagos State over and above the
interest of his Political Party.
In the opinion of the Party, the Governor’s subsequent but belated
Contributions from the State House in Marina, amounts to mere Talk and
indeed another afterthought reflective of the governor’s style of numerous
hasty conclusions in Government.
“It was wrong of the Governor to boycott the PAC session within his
domain. He even coerced Obas and prominent Lagos Chiefs against attending
the session.
This is disservice to the State and we are convinced that Lagosians are
indeed vexed that such a noble opportunity for their plights to be
contained in the committee’s report can be jettisoned on the alter of
parochialism and partisanship. Indeed this unpopular decision of the
Governor and his Party in the State further confirms that they are rookies
and taking the Lagos State to no positive destination”
The Party opines that at the least, the Governor ought to have attended
the Session and present his criticisms just as was boldly done by Governor
Adams Oshiomhole in Edo State.
Finally, the Party demands the Governor makes a Public apology to
lagosians for that unpopular decision which has now embarrassed the State
in a National Programme
