The party maintained that locking<br \/>\ndown the state over a Presidential visit is pathetic and a sign of<br \/>\ndesperation to promote a party that has lost all of its goodwill. The<br \/>\nparty says that, this same APC led government in Lagos vilified former<br \/>\nPresident Goodluck Jonathan for doing same during the last dispensation.<\/p>\n<p>The Party says that it&#8217;s preposterous to shut down economic activities in<br \/>\nthe State because of a Presidential visit that will not add value to the<br \/>\nlives of residents. The ADP says that Lagos should be a shinning light for<br \/>\nall others in terms of leadership and infrastructural development and not<br \/>\nthis joke of commissioning bus stops.<\/p>\n<p>ADP also reminded President Buhari that it would have been a thing of<br \/>\nhonor for him if he had not stopped the rail system conceived by the<br \/>\nformer Governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande when he brutality<br \/>\nseized power via a military coup and that this bus park is of no<br \/>\nconsequence.<\/p>\n<p>ADP says that it is time for Lagosians to rise and demand accountability<br \/>\nfrom those that lead them. The party argues that with the massive revenue<br \/>\nbeen generated in Lagos, the state should be competing with some world<br \/>\nrenowned economies, and that the average Lagosian should feel the impact<br \/>\nof governance through the redistribution of wealth.<\/p>\n<p>ADP has charged Lagosians to get ready for real development that will<br \/>\nchange their lives for good. The party says that they will present a more<br \/>\nqualified candidate for the 2019 election.<\/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 Action Democratic Party (ADP) has taken a swipe at the Lagos State Governor Mr Akinwunmi Ambode over the invitation extended to President Buhari to come and commission a newly&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":47158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61400","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 -
