The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Lagos has
criticised Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, for supporting the administration
of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, is seeking re-election on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While speaking on Tuesday at the conference organised by the
wives of Lagos state officials, Wike, a member of the PDP, had said he is in
support of Sanwo-Olu‘s administration because he is “doing well”.
“If Sanwo-Olu is not doing well, even if he belongs to my
party, I won’t come. So, for me, if you are in my party and you are not doing
well, you won’t see me,” Wike said.
“If you are not in my
party and you are doing well, you will see me and that is what I stand for. And
I will not regret to say that I’m in support of you.”
But reacting in a statement issued on Tuesday, Hakeem Amode,
Lagos PDP publicity secretary, said Lagosians will determine Sanwo-Olu’s “fate”
in the 2023 polls.
“I only wonder how Governor Wike, who didn’t support Jandor
and at the same time couldn’t stop him from picking the party ticket in Lagos,
despite his supposed might within the PDP, would apportion to himself the
decision of generality of Lagosians in the forthcoming election,” the statement
reads.
“While we won’t but
acknowledge Governor Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State which have
witnessed an influx of other state chief executives, including Sanwo-Olu, for
commissioning, it is worrisome that Wike will call Sanwo-Olu a performer
without asking how many times he has invited anyone to Lagos for the
commissioning of an ordinary borehole in his almost four years in office as
Governor.
“My dear Governor and leader, we promise to render Sanwo-Olu
jobless and send him to the club of former Governors next year.
“Only God, who has seen Jandor and Lagos PDP this far, and
the generality of Lagosians, can determine his fate at the polls in 2023, not
your endorsement.
“We will continue to sell our breath of fresh air agenda to
Lagosians with the promise of a better tomorrow. Lagos needs a breath of fresh
air!”
