The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has raised alarm
\nover the inordinate use of soldiers to cause mayhem and outright
\nbrigandage in Lagos. It fingered the Minister of State for Defence, Musliu
\nObanikoro as the arrowhead of this illegal use of soldiers to cause a
\nbreach of public peace and launch mayhem in Lagos.<\/p>\n
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Interim Publicity Secretary of the
\nAPC in Lagos, Joe Igbokwe, the party says that the latest employment of
\nsoldiers to disrupt a state mass housing project in Lagos Island, coming
\nbarely a week after such similar perpetration of illegality in Ilubirin is
\nsignaling the\u00a0 launching of a state of terror by the PDP federal
\ngovernment using Obanikoro as the arrowhead. It warns that Lagosians would
\nbe forced to resist such illegality and stop the bizarre development by
\nall legal means at their disposal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is now certain that Obanikoro was made a Minister of state for defence
\nfor the sole purpose of deploying illegal military force to cause total
\nmayhem in Lagos. It is certain that the PDP is bent on disrupting the pace
\nof development in Lagos in the face of its shameful failure in the last
\nfifteen years. It is certain that PDP and its agents want to arrest the
\nprogress and development of Lagos by all means as such reifies its own
\ncolossal failure in government for fifteen awful years.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, stopping mass housing schemes on sudden and spurious claims of
\nownership of some parts of Lagos is wicked. It is inhuman; it is sadistic
\nand speaks of the character of PDP as a party. We are sure that Obanikoro
\nand those he is working for do not bank of using such means to win Lagos
\nbut to disrupt as much as possible the acclaimed progress of Lagos, which
\nhas been sustaining millions of Nigerians and accounting for the biggest
\nchunk of the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see the stupid war Obanikoro is wedging on Lagos as just an expression
\nof his political failure in Lagos. He is allowing himself to be used to
\nimpede the progress of Lagos as a way of showing his angst against
\nLagosians for continuously rejecting him in all the elections he has
\nentered into since he joined the retrogressive forces. We urge Lagosians
\nto take notice of what Obanikoro is doing in Lagos today and ensure that
\nhe is not allowed to but a wedge on the progress and interests of Lagos.
\nWe urge Lagosians to stand up and resist this noxious employment of
\noutlawry to run a parallel government in Lagos.<\/p>\n
\u201cLagos APC is calling on the military high command to arrest this
\ndangerous trend of using soldiers illegally to cause mayhem in Lagos. We
\nwarn that the military risks being negatively branded if it allows the
\nmilitary to be dragged into prosecuting the selfish political interests of
\nObanikoro. We call on the military to urgently address this illegal use of
\nsoldiers to perpetrate illegalities by the so called minister before it
\nplunges Lagos into anarchy and bloodletting. We warn Obanikoro and
\nwhichever dark interests he serves that enough is enough!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
