Lagos Slashed LASU Tuition Fees To Prevent PDP From scoring Cheap Points- APC by Ayekotoo(m): 11:25pm On Sep 06, 2014
The spokesperson for APC in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said the state government slashed LASU tuition fees to prevent PDP from using it to play cheap politics.
He said, “A sound and very good policy we put in place to lift the standard of LASU was being politicised, that was why we had to reverse it so that the people who don’t believe in performance to get into power will not be able to use it to play politics again.
“The PDP, which controls the Federal Government, has not done anything in the past 15 years. The party only uses the money it has stolen to bait people during elections. That is what the PDP wants to do in Lagos. So, we didn’t want to leave the party to grab LASU for cheap politics.”
“How many policies have we reversed,” Igbokwe asked. He said, “For the past 15 years we have been battling with the issue of power. The PDP-led Federal Government has increased the pump price of fuel several times. It is also increasing school fees in its own universities; students have protested at Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Lagos.”
“That was how the PDP played politics with the activities of commercial motorcyclists. We restricted the activities of the motorcyclists on 495 out of nearly 10,000 roads in order to save lives and reduce crime. The PDP also banned motorcyclists in Abuja, Akwa Ibom and Delta states.

“The PDP needs to show Nigerians what it has done that makes it deserve to win Lagos State.”
The Ogun State APC spokesperson, Mr. Sola Lawal, who corroborated Igbokwe in a telephone interview with our correspondent, also said, “No government of APC particularly in the South-West can be jittery over the 2015 election. Although the party lost in Ekiti State, we won overwhelmingly in Osun State. This goes to show that the party still enjoys acceptance among the populace in the South- West.
“There is nothing any government controlled by APC is doing or has done that will suggest that there is panic involved because of the 2015 elections.
“Though the PDP controls the Federal Government, its hold on the central government is very tenuous with myriads of challenges all over the country such as Boko Haram, corruption, mismanagement, poor economy, hunger and disease, among others.
“The fact is that the PDP has no place in the South-West. The PDP cannot imagine itself not being in government in a whole region.”

The beauty of democracy is that elected public officers are held accountable for their pledges & how they apportion public funds.
Nigeria has a young democracy run by actors with the mind set of how to run a military junta. There is very little or no differences between Abacha’s abuse of power in the 1990′s & President Jonathan’s abuse of power today. We need accountable government ready to change and imbibe best practises the world over to advance our development. Not lies, propaganda & abuse of power.
