A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has described the outgoing government of Lagos, with some unflattering words.
George stated that the state had experienced underdevelopment and massive corruption, adding that only PDP can bring the desired change to Lagos State.
During a meeting with journalists on Monday, January 5, he said: “Here in Lagos, we have made the right and the wise choice in our party. The choice of Jimi Agbaje as our governorship candidate is a shining of light over darkness. It is a triumph of the truth over falsehood; it is a noble attestation of the voice of the people affirming itself in vivid largeness.”
“Here in Lagos, the PDP has listened and affirmed the choice of the majority of Lagosians. Yes, Lagosians want change. We want a change from the the self-centred 16 years of prodigal cronyism to selflessness, God-fearing and people-oriented governance.”
“Lagosians want a change from cold-hearted, selfish and indifferent acquisitive power-mongers to a government that protects the interests of the people and appreciate the fact that power must always be used with discipline and utmost sacrifice. We will ask them to account for the over trillions of naira generated as revenue in the last 16 years, we will ask them to tell Lagosians,” George added.
Futhermore, he stressed the need for Lagosians to vote for the PDP in next month’s governorship election.
“Our campaign will be based on truth and observable logic. We will engage the APC on the high moral ground of polished enlightenment; we will offer sound vision, selfless service and missionary sacrifice.”
