Politics
just got more dramatic:
The
Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said that the shallow
rooted dream of PDP and its candidate, Jimi Agbaje to take over Lagos will end
in more resounding defeat as previous cases, as Lagosians will not, for
anything hand over their state as feeding bottle for Agbaje’s godfather for his
ignoble record in looting the Nigerian Ports Authority. The party said that a
PDP takeover of Lagos is an unrealizable curse Lagosians will never visit on
themselves given the wreckage the PDP has made of Nigeria and the states under
its control in sixteen years of corrupt and failed leadership.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State
Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that Lagos has
passed the stage it will ever be handed to those that are pushing Agbaje like a
soulless robot for the purpose of seizing the flourishing state of Lagos and
subjecting it to the kind of wreckage Nigeria has experienced in the past
sixteen years. It advises Agbaje to stop wasting his time trying to cull a
miracle of ever replacing a performing government with a puppet for the purpose
of satiating the greed of his godfathers.
“It is a well known fact that
Agbaje is a stooge and puppet to the duo of Olabode George and Adeseye
Ogunlewe, two politicians that are best remembered for the despoliation that
trailed their feel of political office in the ant-infested PDP governance of
Nigeria in the past sixteen years. How he hopes that with his knowledge of
patent medicine dealership he can take Lagos an inch further than the enviable
height the APC government has placed it in the past sixteen years by kowtowing
and taking orders from the soiled duo is left to the imagination.
“Even in its most desperate
state, PDP in Lagos, Agbaje and his godfathers will never deny the fact known
across partisan lines in Nigeria and beyond that Lagos has been taken from the
seedy slum the PDP described it twelve years ago to the engine room of the
Nigerian economy, with near perfect security, superlative infrastructures,
healthier and cleaner environment, efficient health sector, sound educational
sector, innovative judiciary, great traffic management, empowered workforce,
enlightened citizenry, etc. They will never argue the well known fact that
Lagos remains the most viable state in a Nigeria where the myth of oil is dying
and states have to live on what they have invested in building an independent
economy that will drive its survival. They will never debate the universal fact
that Lagos, has in the last sixteen years, tapped and developed the human
resources potential needed to drive a modern state, one of the few mega cities
in the world with millions of Nigerians displaced by PDP’s wreckage of a
country that earned sixteen years’ oil boom, daily fleeing to Lagos to find
succor and survival.
“In contrast, the Nigeria Jimi
Agbaje and his PDP wants to import to Lagos is one where hundreds of trillions
of Naira have been earned in sixteen years yet there is no light, no jobs, all
infrastructures are ran down, where corruption walks on all fours, where
insecurity of lives and properties have become the order of the day, where some
parts of the country have been annexed forcefully by insurgents, where stealing
is not corruption, where statutory bodies like NPA are subjected to such asset
stripping as jar decent minds, where poverty spreads like wildfire, where
hunger, disease and want ravage citizens while the so-called leaders revel in
ill gotten wealth,
“But every Lagosians know the
fact of Jimi Agbaje’s journey so far as the PDP governorship candidate for
Lagos, few days after he was exhumed by the duo of Bode George and Ogunlewe and
foisted as their candidate. We wonder how such a front for well known reapers
will govern a state that has become a reference point for good governance when
he is primed as a puppet that will exist, govern and act on the pleasure of his
godfathers who are in well expressed need of empires to colonise and plunder.
“We want to tell Agbaje and PDP
that their present excursion in political hallucination will end the way
previous PDP efforts ended. Lagosians will never exchange competent, judicious
and sure-footed governance that have given Lagos its enviable status as the
last hope of a collapsing Nigerian economy for a puppet and soulless lackey for
two grudging godfathers with well known record for plundering. Lagos will never
ever regress to become the feeding bottle for Olabode George who molted and the
up the Agbaje candidacy as a way to access the Lagos treasury for despoliation
as they and their PDP party men did to Nigeria.”
