The Lagos State chapter of the PDP has said Governor Babatunde Fashola should learn from
President Goodluck Jonathan, especially in the area of harmonious
politics.
The party said this against the backdrop
of the Federal Government’s approval of a $200m loan sought by the
Lagos State Government.
The party, in a statement by its
publicity secretary, Taofik Gani, accused Fashola of playing bad
politics by frustrating developmental programmes of PDP councillors in
their wards.
The statement read in part “In the
opinion of the party, the Federal Government’s gestures to an opposition
state government has further confirmed that the Jonathan-led PDP
Government is indeed a government of development with human face and
with clear direction, contrary to the impression being sponsored by the
All Progressives Congress.
“Unlike Fashola and his council chairmen
who are deliberately witch hunting our few councillors by denying their
wards developmental projects, the PDP Federal Government has
continually supported the Lagos State Government to develop. This is how
progressive government is run.
“Governance must be distinguished from
partisan politics and we salute President Jonathan for practising this.
We hope Fashola would learn such sincere governance from him.”
The party also applauded the decision of
the Federal Government to approve $1.3bn for the commencement of
construction of a deep seaport at Lekki.
It added that many of the structures in
the state were laid by the Federal Government.
“The party notes that the Federal
Government has monumental legacies within the state which are pillars
upon which the Lagos State Government has been flaunting performance.
“Such legacies include the only two
airports in the state; the seaports; railways, all the bridges
connecting the mainland to the island; police and military installations
to mention a few,” the statement added
