OkadaBan: PDP blames Buhari for terminating Lagos metro rail project
The Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday blamed the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari , for the challenges Nigerians living and working in Lagos State are facing following the ban on the use of commercial motorcycles and tricycles in the state.
The PDP’s spokesman urged the Federal Government to apologise to Lagos State for terminating the metro rail line and take urgent steps to address the transport situation of the state. “It is saddening to note that not only did the termination of the initial metro line slowed down and almost crippled development in Lagos, Buhari’s current administration has also continued to fail to take conclusive step to address the transportation challenges in Lagos, despite outcries by Nigerians. Furthermore, leaders of Lagos state have consistently demanded a special status recognition for the state, expectedly, to ease infrastructural quagmire of the state.
He stated that such an attitude toward the development of a city such as Lagos showed that the APC has no interest in the growth of the nation and the welfare of the citizens.
