PDP won’t reap APC’s labour , says APC spokesman in lagos

The spokesman of the APC lagos chapter talk say PDP no go come flex wetin dem no hustle for, na so the matter be, read am for down confirm am.

“We’re confident that the enlightened and sophisticated voting populace will renew our mandate by endorsing our governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and our House of Assembly standard bearers at the polls,” the party said in a statement issued at the weekend by its Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe.

It stated that the outcome of the presidential election, which its candidate, Gen Mu­hammadu Buhari (retd) won convincingly, had set the template for continuity and progress in the state otherwise called the Centre of Excel­lence.

The party said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would be daydreaming if it thinks Lagosians will pitch their tent with a party that has been rejected by the generality of Nigerians.

“Is it now that our party is controlling the central that our people will vote for a dying PDP? Would Nigerians have rejected the party on March 28 if the PDP had done well in the past 16 years? the APC asked.

The statement also read in part: “We should not forget that Lagos has been the envy of other states in terms of de­velopment, good governance and performance since 1999 under the same political plat­form and despite victimisation and lack of cooperation from the Federal Government.

“If the APC government in Lagos has been able to do this much and take the state to enviable position in 16 years, without federal support, then things can only be better now that the APC has won the pres­idency.

“There are so many reasons Lagosians should not vote for the PDP in Lagos. It is the PDP that frustrated the Lagos State Government’s plan to build the 4th Mainland Bridge that would have eased traffic on Eko Bridge, Marina Bridge and the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

“The PDP has been fero­cious in its opposition to the creation of additional local government areas in Lagos, which has a population that is as large as that of three West African nations combined.

“The PDP will be asking for too much if it expects the votes of Lagosians who reside in those 37 Local Council De­velopment Areas (LCDAs) that were created by the APC government to further take de­velopment to the grassroots.”
