Lagos PDP: Residents deserve more than they’re getting from APC

The Lagos chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says residents deserve more than they are getting from the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement by Akeem Amode, the party’s spokesperson, the PDP commended residents for their tolerance and resilience since the country returned to democracy.

The party said there is no doubt that the state is yet to enjoy the real dividends of democracy, which the June 12, 1993 election represents.

“For us in the Lagos PDP, we believe that the residents of the state deserve more than they are experiencing under the ruling party,” the party said.

“Lagos state is blessed with both natural and human resources, apart from the fact that it is the commercial nerve centre of the nation, and the state has little or nothing to show for it.

“This is a state that ought to set the pace for others in education, health and other infrastructure based on her huge income.

“By now, Lagos should have been the cynosure of all eyes and built to a city compared to notable cities of the world such as Dubai, Johannesburg and others.”

The party promised that once it reclaims its mandate at the court, residents will begin to enjoy their wealth.

The party said wealth realised in the state would be used for the development of Lagos.

The PDP urged residents to look forward to better governance soon under its administration.
