The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has said Governor Babatunde Fashola should learn from President Goodluck Jonathan, especially in the area of harmonious politics.
The party said this against the backdrop of the Federal Government’s approval of a $200m loan sought by the Lagos State Government.
The party, in a statement by its publicity secretary, Taofik Gani, accused Fashola of playing bad politics by frustrating developmental programmes of PDP councillors in their wards.
The statement read in part “In the opinion of the party, the Federal Government’s gestures to an opposition state government has further confirmed that the Jonathan-led PDP Government is indeed a government of development with human face and with clear direction, contrary to the impression being sponsored by the All Progressives Congress.
“Unlike Fashola and his council chairmen who are deliberately witch hunting our few councillors by denying their wards developmental projects, the PDP Federal Government has continually supported the Lagos State Government to develop. This is how progressive government is run.
“Governance must be distinguished from partisan politics and we salute President Jonathan for practising this. We hope Fashola would learn such sincere governance from him.”
The party also applauded the decision of the Federal Government to approve $1.3bn for the commencement of construction of a deep seaport at Lekki.
It added that many of the structures in the state were laid by the Federal Government.
“The party notes that the Federal Government has monumental legacies within the state which are pillars upon which the Lagos State Government has been flaunting performance.
“Such legacies include the only two airports in the state; the seaports; railways, all the bridges connecting the mainland to the island; police and military installations to mention a few,” the statement added. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

This Lagos PDP are living in fool island. Who should be learning from one another? The country has being bankrupt, while those that sponsored him for election has being neglected because he want him and his immediate family to be sharing the national cake. Now tell me what will happen in place like Rivers and Imo where he got more than 4 million vote. He wouldn't have approve the loan for Lagos so that the vote will be shared too. Instead of the lagos PDP should be praying for someone like Fashola to become the president of this country so we can witness massive developmental changed for once in their life time
ReplyDeleteAm laughing in Chinese. Even a day old baby know that Jonathan isn't a leader next to Fashola.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in Africa we politicize things. A Federal Government will attend to the needs of all the states under it irrespective of political affiliations. Goodluck has done wat is constitutional binding which of course APC has been doing.
