The APC in Lagos State has described the visit by Olajide
Adediran (Jandor) and Funke Akindele to the people whose vehicles were
auctioned by the Lagos State government as “appalling”.
Seye Oladejo, the APC spokesperson in the state, said by the
visit, the duo, who are the governorship candidate and running mate of the PDP,
have graduated from playing politics with human lives to blatantly encouraging
the break down of law and order in our dear state.
The Lagos State government had last Thursday auctioned 134
vehicles impounded for violating the state’s traffic law.
Adediran popularly known as Jandor and his running mate,
however, visited some of the victims on Saturday, including one who lost his daughter
while serving a three months sentence for a traffic offense. After serving the
sentence, the government auctioned his vehicle.
Speaking to one of the victims on Saturday, Jandor said
“That is not to say that if you go on the wrong side of the law, you won’t be
penalized for it. But we are standing against is that we don’t want a penalty
that will take people’s means of livelihood away from them.”
However, with Jandor’s visit going viral on social media,
APC said the move by the PDP candidate amounts to the promotion of lawlessness.
Read Lagos APC’s
statement below:
JANDOR’S DESPERATION
IS APPALLING.
Our attention has been drawn to the recent characteristic
charade of the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos state, Jide Adediran.
It’s saddening that Jandor and his deputy, Funke Akindele,
have graduated from playing politics with human lives to blatantly encouraging
the break down of law and order in our dear state.
The visit to citizens who paid the price for violating state
traffic laws, compensating , inducing and encouraging them is an act that’s
totally unacceptable in any decent society.
The move of Jandor amounts to turning compassion and charity
on its head.
It was pathetic that he simply interpreted the loss of his
hosts to having their means of livelihood taken away from them when in actual
fact, people have lost their lives to accidents as a result of driving against
traffic.
However, we are not surprised by the promotion of
lawlessness by the opposition party as it remains consistent with their
desperation as we count down to the next elections.
Their role in the spread of Covid with the promotion and
sponsorship of needless mass gatherings- ENDSARS- during pandemic and the
social events hosted by his deputy, Funke Akindele are pointers to the
lawlessness of the duo and their party.
We expect Funke to be eternally grateful to the state
governor for receiving less than a slap on her wrist for a life-threatening
crime against the state.
There’s no doubt that good governance can only thrive where
law and order prevail.
We recommend the recent honest admission of the former
national deputy chairman of PDP, Chief Bode George, that the opposition party
has no hope of winning elections in the South West to the political neophytes
so that they can put their desperation in check.
They may wish to note that Lagosians are not fooled by their
constantly playing to the gallery because they have nothing to offer.
Our government has the political will and duty to uphold the
state laws at all times without succumbing to needless blackmail in the name of
irresponsible politicking.
Seye Oladejo
Lagos State APC Spokesman.
