2011: Coalition Urged To Joint PDP To Oust ACN
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has commended the coalition of 25 political parties recently inaugurated in the avowed bid to oust the Action Congress of Nigeria-led administration of Lagos State.
The party said while it agreed with the coalition that the ACN has outlived its usefulness and therefore deserves to be shown the way out, this noble goal could have been better achieved if the coalition takes the wise and pragmatic move to align with the PDP.
A governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Mr. Owolabi Salis, said he agreed with the coalition in its concern that in spite of the staggering sum of over N38 trillion which over the years had accrued to the coffers of the state , in the past 12 and half years of the ACN-led administration, the latter had had little or nothing to show in terms of development of the state.
He stated further that the position of the recently inaugurated political party has gone to no extent to corroborate his oft-vaunted charge of ineptitude and abysmal non achievement of the ACN administration in Lagos State.
“Can you imagine, for instance, that this government could afford to turn such an unbelievably indifferent posture to the doctors’ strike, which has lingered for so long, while a lot of people, principally the under privileged, are dying daily,  just because they do not have the means for quality health care?†Salis asked, wondering the excuse the state of government has to offer for its inability to meet the demand of the doctors, in spite of the huge revenue at its disposal.
“This undoubtedly goes to no mean extent to prove that this is a government of the elite for the elite, devoid of any atom of sympathy whatsoever for the poor. It is a government of deceit which places greater premium on decorative painting and planting of flowers, all in the name of a megacity and over the dignity and sanctity of human lives,†he stated.
