PDP Says Jonathan is Working, Fashola Should Learn from Him


We hope Governor Babatunde Fashola will not copy the part that a
President has to watch ASUU strike to go on for about five months
before stepping in and later he started issuing threats to the striking
lecturers?
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called
on Governor Fashola to learn from their Oga at the top, President
Goodluck Jonathan, especially in the area of development.
“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 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, 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."
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.
The PDP also claimed that many of the structures in La were laid by
the Federal Government.
