The party says it<br \/>\ndoes not consider PDP as a credible alternative given its historic failure<br \/>\nas a ruling party in Nigeria for sixteen years where Nigeria became a<br \/>\ncesspit for corruption, looting and impunity with not even one worthwhile<br \/>\nproject to outlive those wasted years.<\/p>\n<p>In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of<br \/>\nAPC, Joe Igbokwe, the party says that PDP is desperately trying to get a<br \/>\nlife from the debris where maladministration, corruption and impunity<br \/>\nlanded it by picking out a wrong opponent in the Ambode regime. The party<br \/>\nadvises Lagos PDP to rather seek ways to apologize and atone for its<br \/>\ndestructive years in power instead of indulging in vain efforts to see<br \/>\nitself as an alternative to APC and its government in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>PDP is latching to the review of Land Use charge by the hyper active<br \/>\nAmbode regime to seek the revival of a Party that is synonymous with<br \/>\ncorruption and incompetence in a Lagos that had been turned into a<br \/>\nbursting center of growth, progress and development in the last 16 years.<br \/>\nThis is a cheeky way that would not be allowed the surviving remnants of<br \/>\nPDP. Governor Ambode is setting a pace in result-oriented governance and<br \/>\nquick and classy deliverance. In reviewing upwards the Land Use charge and<br \/>\nsome other fees in Lagos, the Governor is driven by the desire and resolve<br \/>\nto continue the landmark and record-setting infrastructural development of<br \/>\nLagos as he is doing since he came to power nearly three years ago. Lagos<br \/>\nAPC notes the complaints of well-meaning Lagosians about these reviews<br \/>\nthat had made the Governor to downwardly review the fees. We believe, that<br \/>\nin line with his people-oriented inclination, the Governor is still open<br \/>\nto further engagement on these fees, which are meant to solidify the<br \/>\nposition of Lagos as the nations masterpiece in infrastructural<br \/>\ndevelopment and growth. There is no place for a PDP that has a notorious<br \/>\nhistory of corruption and unproductivity to play their sly politics here.<\/p>\n<p>We see as a cheap and mischievous solicitation for support the pedestrian<br \/>\nand outlandish remarks Lagos PDP chairman made of the tolling of Lekki-Epe<br \/>\nExpressway. His childish claim that the money used in constructing the<br \/>\nroad had been realized is a petty and cheap politics to curry an unmerited<br \/>\nsympathy he and his party do not merit. This lie and false claim also<br \/>\nreeks with deliberate ignorance that flowers outside the technical and<br \/>\nfactual agreement on the concessioning of the road. We see his outburst as<br \/>\nthe mischievous trick to take advantage of Lagosians in his deliberate but<br \/>\nfutile effort to give life to a dead party. He has failed in this sly<br \/>\neffort.<\/p>\n<p>Lagos APC laughs off the infantile boast of PDP touting itself as an<br \/>\nalternative to the APC in Lagos; a lousy boast that had been consistently<br \/>\nrejected by Lagosians. For a party with a notorious history of corruption<br \/>\nand decay now posing as an alternative to an APC that has taken Lagos to<br \/>\nthe height of growth and development smacks of reckless flattery of its<br \/>\nsordid history. We dont consider PDP as an alternative in any way and for<br \/>\na party dying in the throes of its notoriety to make a childish claim of<br \/>\nbeing an alternative to APC in Lagos amounts to taking chance with facts.<br \/>\nIf a National Leader of PDP, Godsdey Orubebe will just this week week,<br \/>\ndescribe PDP as a party that has crossed the bridge from pride to shame,<br \/>\nwe consider it an insult that the remnants of the PDP should see such<br \/>\nparty as an alternative to a hyper-active party like APC in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>Lagos APC advises Salvador and the rickety and sparse followers he has in<br \/>\nthe face of the dwindling fortunes of PDP all over the country to stop<br \/>\ndeceiving Lagosians and face the consequences of the corrupt 16 years of<br \/>\nPDPs leadership of the country. Luckily for Lagosians, even in the height<br \/>\nof PDPs deadly desperation to annex Lagos, Lagosians never considered it<br \/>\ngood for the state and its consistent progress in the period PDP<br \/>\ndemolished the country. We advise him to spare what is remaining of PDP to<br \/>\natone to Nigerians for the colossal disaster PDP was in our history. No<br \/>\ntwists and deliberate tricks will deceive Lagosians into seeing PDP as an<br \/>\nalternative at a time it is dying for its destructive despoliation of<br \/>\nNigeria.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\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 described the criticisms credited to the Lagos State Chairman of the PDP, Moshood Salvador against the Lagos State government as&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":58941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61272","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 -
