“It is not to wait for the opposition party to talk before the media reports.” LagosPDP Politics Media Lagos Nigeria
, supposedly the ‘Centre of Excellence’? The spirited opposition prior to 2015 by All Progressives Congress has become a beacon of opposition politics in the country even, if the dividends according to the people now appear scanty.
While former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who was denied a second term, held office, Lagos became a mounting refuse dump. Many Lagosians were outraged by the government’s inability to follow through with the clean up template put in place by previous governments. Oshodi bus terminus is another area of mega project in the middle of a vast slum and market. The last government could not complete it and one year after, not much seems to have happened to that project. Each day, Lagosians look at the vast edifice in amazement, wondering when it would be completed so it could be put to use. In all these, vast sums have been sunk; lots more still needs to be spent.
The party’s failure in its oppositional politics is no less evident than in its criminal silence, when months ago the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, was alleged to be involved in financial mismanagement. Lagos PDP either did not hear of the allegations or felt it wasn’t worth its time to weigh in and demand accountability.
The chairman Lagos PDP, Mr. Adedeji Doherty, said it was not true that the opposition has been silent or not doing what it ought to be doing in terms of providing alternative ideas to the government. He also challenged the media to embark on investigative reporting to unravel deficiencies in the governance of Lagos or any other state.
