The Lagos State Chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the reversal of the Lagos State University, LASU, school fees as a welcome development, but said that the gesture was deceitful and politically induced.
The party stated this in a statement made available to journalists by its Publicity Secretary, Taofeek Gani.
It wondered why the state Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola earlier ignored public outcry and thereby caused irredeemable losses in the system.
“The eight month old doctors strike that led to over 3000 deaths should be fresh on our minds,” Gani stated.LASU gate
The party explained that it came to such conclusion because the state governor did not consult the Governing Council of the institution and even the state House of Assembly had no knowledge of the spontaneous announcement.
According to him,”in the opinion of our party, Governor Fashola was jolted by the open aspersions and protests organised by all the unions on campus during the convocation ceremony , so he needed to save his face to escape more terrible disgrace, thus the announcement of unplanned reversal of the fees ”
The PDP has however alerted Lagosians to expect more Greek gifts from the APC as the 2015 Lagos Governorship election gets closer.
“We congratulate the dogged Unions of LASU on the reversal of the school fees. The reversal however has ulterior motives. The 2015 elections are near, it is one of the motives. Governor Fashola should apologise for causing the delay in graduation of some of the students.
“He must also send the fees reversal policy to the Governing Council of LASU for immediate legal approval. All these must be done before this government can be taken seriously,” he stated. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeletePDP is complaining because they have now lost one of the excuses they will use to campaign against APC in the election. PDP do not have any tangible program for the people instead they are looking for the slightest fault in APC to use as a campaign tool.
DeleteANYHOW, FASHOLA AND HIS ACTION IS BETTER THAN ALL THE PDP FEDERAL GOVT PUT TOGETHER. PEOPLE DEMOTING PARTY SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T POCKET NIGERIA AS A ONE PARTY NATION. NIGERIA OF ANY STATE IS NOT THERE PERSONAL PROPERTY. LET THE OPPOSITIONS GOVERN SOME STATES. HOW I WISH WE CAN EXPERIENCE ANOTHER PARTY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. THIS PUPOLAR DEVILS PARTY DON DO.
ReplyDeleteFashola thinks he can use the Fee reversal to appease Lagosians who are already tired of APCS Anti people programmes. They come into power claiming to represent the poor masses and at the end of the day all their programmes are against the poor masses.. This is coming too late. No to a Govt of one man and his family, by one man and his family and for one man and his Family. No to APC.
