The party<br \/>\nsaid that for a party that believes in hauling hollow, laughable and<br \/>\ntendentious gossip to stay alive, the PDP in Lagos seems to have accepted<br \/>\nthe fact that it is an irredeemable bad product.<\/p>\n<p>In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of<br \/>\nthe APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that Lagos PDP\u2019s call for Governor<br \/>\nAmbode to probe former Governor Fashola for some inchoate and laughable<br \/>\nreasons shows that Lagos PDP has lost it and is in a journey of self<br \/>\nderision and ridicule. It says it is not surprised that Lagos PDP<br \/>\ncontinues to demonstrate traits that show it as a jesting group that has<br \/>\nno meaningful thing to contribute to the growth and progress of Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs laughable and childish as PDP\u2019s latest rant is, we dare say that we<br \/>\nare not in the culture of dignifying confused thoughts of a cabal that is<br \/>\nyet to live down their continued horrible fate in the hands of Lagosians.<br \/>\nWith the historical defeat of the PDP from the center where they ran<br \/>\nNigeria to total bankruptcy and near collapse even with very bounteous oil<br \/>\nearning, it is not difficult to locate why Lagos PDP is hit by a gale of<br \/>\ntotal confusion that finds expression in the inchoate and disoriented<br \/>\nranting it spews out these days as press statements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe achievements in Lagos for the past 16 years of progressive politics<br \/>\nneed no repetition here. Lagosians know them and feel them. Nigerians know<br \/>\nthese and trumpet it but the woeful losers in Lagos PDP have chosen self<br \/>\ndenial in the vain thoughts that this will help their inordinate desire to<br \/>\ncorner power in Lagos when they have shown complete failure in the sixteen<br \/>\nyears they have misused and abused power in Nigeria. Fact is that for<br \/>\nsixteen years, we have taught PDP a huge lesson in politics and leadership<br \/>\nbut they keep playing the ostrich thinking Lagosians are fools that will<br \/>\nfall for their gimmicks. This is why PDP had been failing and will<br \/>\ncontinue to fail in Lagos.<br \/>\n\u201cLet us recall the sordid events of the last electioneering period, when<br \/>\nout of desperation, the PDP practically relocated to Lagos, where the<br \/>\nformer president, Goodluck Jonathan, unleashed billions of illicit dollars<br \/>\nand pound sterlings to buy Lagosians, went and procured hoodlums and touts<br \/>\nof all shades and mobilized them to lay siege on Lagos and the APC with<br \/>\nthe hope of conquering Lagos, went and commissioned a very dangerous hate<br \/>\npolitics aimed at greatly dividing Lagosians along tribal lines,<br \/>\ncommissioned a cache of religious merchants to sell the rotten PDP message<br \/>\nbut these not only failed him and PDP woefully in Lagos but failed to<br \/>\nprevent the huge defeat he and PDP suffered in the general elections.<br \/>\n\u201cNow with the center gone, with all compliments of unrestrained federal<br \/>\nfunding, looting of SURE-P funds by chieftains of PDP in Lagos, as<br \/>\nelsewhere gone, with federal appointments gone and parastatals that the<br \/>\nLagos PDP chieftains freely feed from gone, the Lagos PDP in utter<br \/>\nconfusion, has resorted to making baseless demands and childish effusions<br \/>\nin the hope to keep their sinking boat afloat but they are struggling in<br \/>\nvain. We would have though that Lagos PDP would, for once, be moved by<br \/>\nmoral imperatives to demand that President Muhammadu Buhari probe and<br \/>\npunish the perpetrators of what is becoming the most horrifying economic<br \/>\ncrime done to Nigeria by the PDP mandarins especially in the past 16<br \/>\nyears. They are not, rather they are asking Governor Ambode to \u2018probe\u2019 the<br \/>\nposter regime for productive and accountable governance in this republic.<br \/>\nWhat a party?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to let the lost and confused parodists in Lagos PDP know that<br \/>\nGovernor Ambode has hit the ground running just because he has a rich<br \/>\ntemplate of productive governance to continue with. That Lagos PDP is not<br \/>\nseeing these, which every other Nigerian sees, is not surprising for PDP<br \/>\nhas no known ability to recognize good governance anywhere. If it has, it<br \/>\nwouldn\u2019t have wrecked Nigeria in one demolishing spree that an oil rich<br \/>\ncountry is today cringing on all fours as the treasury has been emptied by<br \/>\nchieftains of PDP, among whom are those that now parade themselves as<br \/>\nchieftains of Lagos PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to assist the Lagos PDP get their acts together. The party is a<br \/>\nbad product and must do away with their unproductive and corrupt leaders<br \/>\nfor it to mount any credible opposition to APC. We extend this magnanimous<br \/>\nadvice given that we, in Lagos APC, believes a viable opposition will help<br \/>\npoint out areas of deficiencies in the governance of Lagos but this has<br \/>\nbeen missed in PDP\u2019s laughable penchants to bandy puerile gossip,<br \/>\ninnuendoes, rumours and all forms of inchoate demands in the name of<br \/>\nopposition. Even as we know that the PDP is doomed nationally, as a result<br \/>\nof its sixteen years unrestrained megalomania, we want to let Lagos PDP<br \/>\nthat its fate will get worse in Lagos, as the APC government in the state<br \/>\nperfects its acts of bettering Lagosians for the good of all Lagosians and<br \/>\nthe economic benefit of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said that with the way Lagos PDP is going, it is doomed to failure as it seems not to have&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
