The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria has described Lagos PDP as a pack of irredeemable, idle clowns who have no value to input to Lagos politics except nursing a childish hope of cornering Lagos for milking.
The party was reacting to the statement by Lagos PDP calling for the recall of Senator Oluremi Tinubu for describing herself as a rookie in the senate.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the ACN, Joe Igbokwe, Lagos ACN says that with each passing day its futile desire to add Lagos to its vassal, despoiled territory, passes, Lagos PDP continues to degenerate into a band of irredeemable jesters who must open its mouth on any issue, even if it must embarrass itself, as it did in the instant case. It advises Lagos PDP to quit exerting itself to create motion where there is none and create substance where there is no substance.
“For the information of the few that still consume Lagos PDP’s idiocy, we deem it fit to recap Senator Tinubu’s response to a Guardian reporter’s question that is generating Lagos PDP’s latest rantings.
Guardian: “Why are opposition senators always desirous of getting juicy committee positions in the senate instead of remaining in the opposition?”
Senator Tinubu: “ If I wanted juicy committee, I wouldn’t be in the Labour, Employment and Productive committee. I can only speak for myself. I have been a rookie in the Senate and I don’t know about the juiciness of the committees until I learn.”
“The above is all a group of idlers, gossipers and clowns that calls itself Lagos PDP needed to call for the recall of the senator. We wonder why Lagos PDP in its celebrated emptiness feels that sounding so bland and stupid on issues it cannot grapple is the best way of fighting a battle for the soul of sophisticated people of Lagos. We dare ask, must the Lagos PDP open its mouth and embarrass itself, as in the present case, just because it wants to keep appearance and get noticed? Must Lagos PDP continue to demonstrate its emptiness just because it wants to present the façade of a non existing opposition in Lagos?
“Now because Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu made an honest admission as a well brought up child and as a first time comer in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that she is still learning the art of lawmaking in the Senate, Lagos PDP went to town to ask for her recall because she does not understand the operations of the Senate. This is a clear evidence that PDP Lagos continues to be deficit in honour, deficit in character, deficit in integrity, deficit in common sense, and deficit in knowledge. Come to think of it, if distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu is to be recalled from the Senate, who are those that would recall her? Are they PDP members of her Lagos Senatorial District or PDP members in Lagos State? Are the PDP members the ones that put her in the Senate? The job of recalling our own Senator Oluremi Tinubu is for ACN Members Lagos Central Senatorial District. May be PDP members in Lagos, in their emptiness, do not know this“.
“Lagos PDP, among myriads of problems it faces, is grappling with the problem of comprehension and for this, it is making itself a laughing stock just because it cannot comprehend the meaning of ‘rookie’ and this is a party that salivates that by some stroke of misfortune, it will rule Lagos by just displaying such arrant bareness on a simple issue just because it does not know the meaning of ‘rookie’, what a shame.
“Lagos ACN notes that frustration is turning Lagos PDP as a huge embarrassment even unto itself and this remains the shame of a party that covets power for the power it grants it to loot and lay its vassal states bare. We note that Lagos PDP is set on the irrefomable path with its penchant to play pranks with issues and facts and its present deadly inclination to latch up to any issue for the nuisance value it grants it to distract and become permanent pests, with no value to import to governance and the general well being of Lagosians. We urge all Lagosians to ignore the PDP and its many rants and these are borne out of the frustration that it is not gaining any stranglehold on the politics of Lagos.”
