The Lagos chapter of the PDP, have released a statement on the event of Governor of Lagos state Akinwunmi Ambode’s Birthday.
They opposition party in their statement commended the governor of trying to fulfill his campaign promises. They also urged him to use the next 3 years to work in the favour of lagosians and not the selfish interests of the APC.
Ambode who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday was commended for using his birthday celebration to raise funds for cancer treatment in the state.
The PDP’s statement read in part,
“The PDP opines that the governor has attempted to justify his election. Observing these attempts, such as in the area of road rehabilitation with pedestrian bridge construction, we will give the governor the benefit of the doubt that he is serious about serving the general interest and not parochial or APC interest as his predecessor did.
“We will keep a tab on his governance and commend or condemn same as applicable. In this period of his birthday celebration, we want to commend him and hope that he sees this assessment as a challenge for him to perform better.
The PDP wishes the governor good health, sound mind and, above all, the fear of God necessary for him to be responsive, productive and just to all. Happy birthday and many happy returns,”
The statement continued “More disturbing to us is that the governor’s lowest point at this time is his neglect to conduct election into the local government councils. This is long overdue. He should allow the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission to announce the election date this week to serve as his birthday gift to Lagosians,”
