PDP Leaders Are “Shameless” – Fashola

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde
Fashola has taken a swipe at the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), the second time
in forty-eight hours.
The state’s helmsman had accused the
PDP-led FG of abandoning the Apapa
axis of the metropolis for long, a
situation that has led to the regular
horrific traffic jam.
Inspecting the roads in the area at the
weekend, he said, “Businesses are
shutting down, people are living a very
traumatic life. I just wonder why
everything is falling into pieces under
this federal government. Everything
about the country is falling into pieces,
and Apapa has not been spared.”
“The port cannot be managed. The
fuel distribution cannot be managed
without causing so much pain. The
roads have been destroyed. People
are sleeping on the road because the
central government cannot
effectively manage the distribution
of fuel.
Continuing his attack on the PDP
yesterday, he questioned the use of the
Gani Fawehinmi Park at Ojota for a
political gathering.
Fashola said the party had no shame
“otherwise, it wouldn’t have used a
park it once described as cosmetic and a
waste of money”.
Last week Friday, the PDP organised a
rally at the Gani Fawehinmi Park,
where the Ekiti State governor-elect,
Mr. Ayodele Fayose, addressed his party
supporters and asked the APC to get set
to vacate leadership positions in the
South-west region.
Speaking after the 2014 Tree Planting
Campaign at Sangotedo in Eti-Osa East
Local Council Development Area of the
state, Governor Fashola said: “They lied,
they forgot what they said. They
complained that the park was cosmetic.
They have forgotten that the park was
cosmetic; have they now forgotten that
the park is elitist?. They have no shame
in their unthinking inconsistency”.
“All over the state, wherever you
go, you will see scores of parks and
millions of trees at different stages
of development. Our uninformed
and unable opponents criticised this
initiative; they called it cosmetic
and elitist.”
The governor added that PDP clearly
demonstrated their ignorance
because the environment was also
the new economy.
“They are ignorant people. What
they called cosmetic and elitist has
developed our economy; it has
created jobs and has put food on the
tables of many people who would
otherwise be unemployed.”
