As the Lagos State Government celebrates 2,000
days in office today, the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Publicity
Secretary, Taofik Gani has described it as a jamboree that is absolutely
shameful and irrational.
In a statement, the spokesman marveled at the monumental financial waste that accompanies such unnecessary exercise saying such monies would improve lives and provide more social services if so utilised.
According to him, celebrating days without commensurate infrastructure is inglorious and deceitful, hence, he threatened to invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the state having observed that such is a conduit pipe for defrauding the state .
His words: "the Lagos State PDP is cautioning the ACN government of Lagos State not to waste Lagos funds in its disillusioned and misdirected celebrations of the number of days in government. We posit that the monumental amount usually spent on mobilising ACN members to such parties can be ploughed into improving the lots of Lagosians rather than living in fool's world that Lagosians are happy with them.
The Party challenged the ACN to dare Lagosians by measuring its achievements through street parade and see whether the reactions will be positive or negative.
"Honestly, this is a pathologicaly deceitful and propagandist political party that has indeed become a metastatised shameless party in government. How on earth can a sensible government plan celebration in office when there is apparent poverty, lack of employment, underpaid civil servants and violation of human Rights to mention a few.
"In spite getting total revenue of over 56billion naira monthly, the state is still not enjoying such developments that are social services. All the assumed developments in the state are indeed by concessionaires and donors. Notwithstanding, they are highly paid for to enjoy.
The celebration will be another talk party of "I will do" and not "I have done" It is our belief that monies are being siphoned through this activity because it is just too often and nonsensical.
