May 31, (THEWILL) – The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), has described as recklessness politicking the recent remark by the Lagos Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), deploring Governor Sanwo-Olu’s achievements during his first term in office.
The party in a statement issued Wednesday and signed by its Spokesperson, Hon. Seye Oladejo, said there is no response to this than the referendum that the last gubernatorial election in Lagos State represented with the massive votes for Sanwo-Olu across the length and breadth of the state and across ethnic, religious and gender divides.
APC said the election results 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, healthcare, 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 Sanwo-Olu administration will resist all childish attempts to distract it from its constitutional responsibilities and successfully cater for its teeming populace”, APC said in the statement.
The party said it would ordinarily have ignored the warped and obviously biased opinion of the PDP, but said “it’s imperative to save them from the misery inflicted by their recent electoral defeats by putting things in perspective.”
