Lagos PDP has lost relevance, blindfolded about Sanwo-Olu’s achievements, says APC

IBRAHIM QUADRI

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State said the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State should be more concern about its loss of relevance in the State rather than giving ‘jaundiced’ remark about the achievements of the State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

APC gave the assertion in a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon Seye Oladejo saying PDP had yielded its perpetual second position to a tottering party.

It argued that PDP’s irresponsible politicking had blindly refused to acknowledge the state government’s achievements in checkmating Covid-19 pandemic.

It stressed further that the completion of the various projects inherited from Sanwo-Olu’s predecessors underscored his commitment to the prudent management of state resources.

The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to the jaundiced remark of the former main opposition party in Lagos State   – PDP – as regards the achievements of Governor Sanwo-olu in his first term in office.

“We would ordinarily have ignored the warped and obviously biased opinion of the party, but it’s imperative to save them from the misery inflicted by their recent electoral defeats by putting things in perspective.

“There’s no better response to this than the referendum that the last gubernatorial election in Lagos State represented with the massive votes for Sanwoolu across the length and breadth of the state and across ethnic, religious and gender divides.

“It was an eloquent testimony to the glittering performance of the state government in all sectors as represented by the much acknowledged THEMES mantra.

“Without doubt, it’s reckless and irresponsible politicking to blindly refuse to acknowledge the state government’s achievements in checkmating Covid-19 pandemic which literally saved the Nigerian nation.

“Lagosians remain proud of our achievements in public transportation, health-care, education, the environment, job creation, tourism, security and safety, sports, youth and women development etc

“The completion of the various projects inherited from his predecessors underscores his commitment to the prudent management of state resources.

“The THEMES PLUS is simply an agenda to complete what was started during the first term, take it to the next level  and further improve the fortunes of all Lagosians through responsible and responsive governance.

“It should be more of a serious concern to the PDP that it has lost relevance by yielding its perpetual second position to a tottering party.

“The Sanwoolu administration will resist all childish attempts to distract it from its constitutional responsibilities and successfully cater for its teeming populace.”
