The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has described as
\nuninformed, hollow and laughable the statement b the Lagos State chapter
\nof the PDP that Governor Akinwumi Ambode should declare his assets or be
\nregarded as a pretender governor. The party said that Lagos PDP is lost
\nand needs help to survive the demeaning fate they face in Lagos and the
\ncountry today.<\/p>\n
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of
\nthe APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party dismissed Lagos PDP as a group of ill
\ninformed jokers who are being dealt a big blow by their present shambolic
\nstate. It advises Lagos PDP to take a period to school itself about
\nconstitutional provisions regarding asset declaration before it comes out
\njust to make some unserious noise to source relevance it does not have.<\/p>\n
\u201cPDP Lagos continues to make us believe it exists in Lagos where it has
\nbeen dealt serious electoral blows year in year out. Lagos PDP is an
\nunserious group that periodically amuses itself with such hollow
\nvituperations as asking Governor Ambode to declare his assets or be
\nregarded as \u201cpretender governor\u201d-whatever that means. This can only be the
\nfruits of uncoordinated thoughts of serial losers that have no inkling on
\nhow to handle its latest round of electoral defeat,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen what calls itself Lagos PDP are not engaged in unending fight with
\nthemselves as a way of expressing their electoral frustration, they are
\nbusy making disoriented demands that are both hollow in articulation and
\nempty in reasons. It is not surprising that Lagos PDP is coming out the
\nway they did after the thorough APC victory in both Lagos and the center
\nas well as majority of states in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cLagos PDP in making the demand of Governor Ambode to declare his assets
\nmust have woken up from a long slumber that robs them both of the
\nconstitutional provision on assets declaration and the fact that as
\nincoming Governor, the governor declared his assets with the Code of
\nConduct Bureau, in keeping with the constitutional requirements for his
\noffice.<\/p>\n
It is certain that Lagos PDP in keeping with its well known penchant for
\nmediocrity and as a purveyor of kindergarten gossip, is unaware of what
\nthe Law says on asset declaration which states that on assum0ption of
\noffice and exit from office, the Governor or any other political office
\nholder is bound by law to declare his assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau
\nat both points. It is the duty of CCB to verify your claims at the point
\nof exit of office against what you declared at the point of entry. This,
\nthe Governor did and has plunged deep into the demanding task of governing
\nLagos while the PDP roves aimlessly in want of what to say to keep afloat.
\nWe would wish that Lagos PDP quit threading in an unproductive circle of
\nself foolery by their resort to outlandish and wild demands that further
\ndiminish it among Lagosians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to educate the speculators in PDP that governance is not a tea
\nparty and that running a political party is not the same as periodically
\nmaking inchoate and tendentious demands that lack reasons and conviction.
\nGovernor Ambode is full of energy, full of ideas , robust , capable, as
\nstrong as the rock of Gibraltar and totally committed in dealing with the
\ncomplex problems of a mega city like Lagos for which he is elected.
\nDistracting him through such baseless and laughable display of crass
\nignorance and naivety, as Lagos PDP, is an exercise in futility for
\nmajority of Lagosians knows that Lagos PDP is gone for good in Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
