Mr Phillip Aivoji, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State speaks with VICTOR AYENI on attacks on the party members by hoodlums and the general assessment of the state’s political atmosphere ahead of the 2023 polls
on attacks on the party members by hoodlums and the general assessment of the state’s political atmosphere ahead of the 2023 pollsMy general assessment is that the people are already in support of our candidate because the All Progressives Congress has nothing to offer. They have been in power, but instead of improving the economy, everything is coming down. There is insecurity and banditry everywhere.
They don’t care whether people die; they don’t care whether they are suffering, what they want is power, forgetting that power is transient. But my own assessment is that we are ready to go to the elections, and we are ready to win. What we hear is that they are trying to manipulate and disrupt some areas. There are several violent areas in Lagos State. Talk of Oshodi-Isolo, Lagos Island, and other areas.
What steps can we take other than reporting to the law enforcement agencies? We cannot take the law into our hands. That is why we want a good government. Lagos has never been like this. If you remember the days of the Social Democratic Party and the National Republican Convention, we could disagree and insult each other. Later, you will see SDP and NRC people sitting and eating together.
It has been alleged that the hoodlums who carried out wanton attacks and destruction of property in Surulere were sponsored by the APC. Is this your stance?
