The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has criticised the administration of Governor Babajide
Sanwo-Olu.
Following a meeting of the State Executive Committee, the party
challenged the present administration to a public debate on the
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and acclaimed expenditures of
the state government.
According to the State Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, this
formed part of the resolutions of the party reached at the end of
its meeting held on Monday.
It faulted the ruling APC over purported claims that it has
given advice and progressive suggestions to the governor, both
privately and publicly in the interest of the resident.
The opposition party accused the APC of failing and extorting
the people, describing the party as “very arrogant and
incompetent,” as well as not fit and proper for the present
challenges in the state.
It also resolved to take up the ruling party – vote for vote,
and strategy for strategy ahead of the forthcoming bye-elections
and the general elections in 2023.
The PDP stressed that the inadequacies identified in the
Sanwo-Olu led administration would be its winning asset going into
any future election in the state.

Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
It noted that those aspiring for elective posts would commence
their screening on Tuesday, saying the PDP remained resolute as a
united party to winning the bye-elections in the state.
The meeting also congratulated the newly set-up South West
Caretaker Committee, saying it has confidence in the committee to
steer the geo-political zone of the party to electoral
victories.
It assured aspirants in the bye-elections that there would be a
level playing field and urged them to accept the results of the
screening and primaries in the spirit of sportsmanship.
The party also asked them to direct all valid information
concerning the PDP to the officially recognised party secretariats
at the state and local government area (LGA) levels.
It warned individuals who act reactionary, especially those
coming from outside the state to steer clear of Lagos or be
publicly exposed and disgraced.
