REBUILDING LAGOS: PDP Calls Out Gov. Sanwo-Olu Over N1 Trillion Projection For Restoration—-The N1 trillion projection report given by the Governor of Lagos state to facilitate the repairs of damaged and destroyed properties in Lagos state by unknown hoodlums has been criticized by the PDP.
On Monday, the party through its publicity secretary of the Lagos chapter, Mr Taofik Gani disclosed that it would not allow the Governor to be dishonest to the people with such a bogus amount.
The party also accused the Sanwo-Olu-led APC government of “dishonesty and extortionate tendency”.
Read Gani’s statement in part:
“Our accusation is coming on the heels of the declaration by the state governor that the state will need N1 trillion to repair the destruction arising from the #EndSars attacks.
“The governor had recently told governors from the South West and ministers that the amount is projected for reconstruction purposes.
“The Lagos PDP believes that such a bogus and hasty amount can only be claimed by persons in government who are likely to benefit from such proceeds.
“The party particularly raises the alarm that the money as projected is targeted at restituting known infrastructure and businesses of APC leaders and not honestly for all genuine victims per se,” he said.
The PDP spokesman, therefore, challenged Sanwo-Olu and the ruling party to make public every kobo and the beneficiaries as envisaged by the governor.
He added: “The trillion naira is bogus and extortionate. We specifically want to know whether the Lekki toll plaza is involved. This plaza should rather be demolished.
“The people will resist any form of approval for levy, over taxation or loan to spend the trillion naira. We put the House of Assembly on the alert to reject any bogus request.”
