The Lagos chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has accused the Lagos State Governor of playing partisan politics. The Party made the comments after the Federal Government approved a N32 billion loan for the Lagos Government.
The Party called on Fashola to stop starving PDP Councillors within Lagos of funds for development projects and instead emulate the harmonious politics of President Jonathan.
In the opinion of the party, the Federal Government’s gestures to an opposition state government has further confirmed that the Jonathan-led PDP Government is indeed a government of development with human face and with clear direction, contrary to the impression being sponsored by the All Progressives Congress.
The PDP statement read partly, “Unlike Fashola and his council chairmen who are deliberately witch hunting our few councillors by denying their wards developmental projects, the PDP Federal Government has continually supported the Lagos State Government to develop. This is how progressive government is run.
“Governance must be distinguished from partisan politics and we salute President Jonathan for practising this. We hope Fashola would learn such sincere governance from him.”
The PDP added, “The party notes that the Federal Government has monumental legacies within the state which are pillars upon which the Lagos State Government has been flaunting performance.
“Such legacies include the only two airports in the state; the seaports; railways, all the bridges connecting the mainland to the island; police and military installations to mention a few,” the statement added.
