I Goofed, Visionscape Not In Lagos Environmental Law – PDP Strategist

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Demola Olarewaju has apologized for his false claim to the effect that an environmental utility group, Visionscape Sanitation Solutions was included in the Lagos State Environmental Law enacted in 2017.

Olarewaju, who is a PDP strategist, in an interview he granted an online newspaper, Premium Times, had claimed that Visionscape was inserted in the law, and castigated the State Government for deliberately giving undue advantage to a private firm.

In the interview, Olarewaju had claimed authoritatively that: “Visionscape was specifically mentioned in the new environmental law,” and went on to criticize the House of Assembly for passing the law with the insertion of a private firm.

But having realized his gaffe, the PDP chieftain, via his twitter handle, @DemolaRewaju, admitted sending out incorrect information, and apologized for the error.

He said: “Apparently, the information I passed in this interview wasn’t accurate. Visionscape isn’t specifically in the environmental law which I am yet to receive but I’m assured by trusted sources that the information is incorrect.

“Apologies to those who follow me. The error is regretted,” Olarewaju tweeted.
