The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ogun State has warned a former member of House of Representatives, Mikhail Kazeem against misleading the public by laying claims to the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, Projects of the Federal Government.
The Vice Chairman of PDP in Abeokuta South Local Government Kamal Shodipo gave the warning, while reacting to the claim by the former Rep that he facilitated many SDGs’ projects in Abeokuta South Federal Constituency.
Shodipo described the claim by the ex-lawmaker as a lie and absolute falsehood, arguing that he is not in position to do so.
Shodipo explained that, “the SDG projects are budgeted and paid for by the federal government of Nigeria, while only a sitting member of the National Assembly can nominate or facilitate such projects”.
“Micky is not a sitting member, how can he lay claims to nominating such projects? He could not have facilitated any project because presently he is just like every other Nigerian. It is fraudulent for him to lay claim to such”.
“The public should be wary of these kind of politicians who try to deceive them. if they can openly lie to the public this way, then such people can not be trusted. This is a style of politicians who lie to curry favour from the public when elections are coming. The projects are SDGs programmes, budgeted and paid for by the federal government with tax payers money, Shodipo said”.
“I am not the type who go about discrediting people on frivolity, but I can not close my eyes to such deceits when we are working to see a changed political system manned by credible people, thus the need to set the records straight. In what capacity would he say he is facilitating the project?
“I am assuring you that our political Party will always say the truth when our candidates facilitate government projects or personal projects. Projects done by tax payers money are the people’s entitlement”.
Shodipo noted that Micky Kazzim in a had inscribed his name as the facilitator of SDGs projects across the local government area.
He listed the projects to include St. Augustine Primary School Adatan; one block of 6 classrooms with VIP toilets and renovation of one block of 5 classrooms Imo Methodist School, Okeyeke, construction and furnishing of 1 nos of 6 classrooms block with VIP toilets, and Renovation of of 1 nos suspended of 4 and 6 classrooms block at Our Lady of Lord’s Primary School, Onikoko.
