he Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has accused Governor Babatunde Fashola of misleading Lagosians about the duty of the federal task force.
The party in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taofik Gani, said Fashola was wrong to have told Lagosians to resist officials of the task force.
It said the governor had suddenly intensified his verbal attack against the party so as to “remain politically relevant”.
The PDP said the governor was nursing an ambition to become the next Vice President and was only trying to impress the leadership of his party, the All Progressives Congress, by launching a verbal assault on the PDP.
The PDP said this while reacting to allegations by the state’s chapter of the APC and the governor that the federal task force were foot soldiers of the PDP ahead of the 2015 elections.
He said, “The Lagos state PDP has come out to swiftly deny the existence of the federal task force for the purpose of election. We maintain that the governor’s information on the innocent Nigerians is not only empty but laughable and has thus reduced the governor’s office to a “comic relief.”
“Fashola is currently agitated and restless in office because of his over ambition to be the Vice President of Nigeria, a wish now strongly threatened by an opposition group within the APC.
“The attempt to be relevant and be in the media for the stated inordinate ambition has influenced the governor’s recent contributions to national issues in a negative way. We therefore counsel the governor to pursue his political ambition without blackmailing the PDP or the Federal Government but to maintain the level of decorum worthy of the office.”
The Lagos PDP described its APC counterpart as the worst chapter of the APC stating that the chapter had turned out to be “disillusioned, unpopular and only prepared to heat up the polity.”
The party said the APC was only jittery because its time was almost up as Lagosians would vote out the APC next year.
“The domineering era of Lagos APC has come and gone in the state. We advise the chapter to get its information verified and cogent in order to desist from being a party of mockery,” the PDP said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
