LAGOS State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has given Governor Babatunde Fashola a 14-day ultimatum to declare his assets publicly, else it will mobilise Lagos for a street protest to demand same.

This is as the party accused the governor of having about 60 per cent shares in the multi-billion naira 23-storey hotel that he commissioned in the state on Sunday.

The party gave the ultimatum on Monday in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofeek Gani, declaring that there was high level of corruption in governance in the state and that “the governor ploughs the proceeds therefrom into personal businesses, one of which is the newly commissioned 23-storey hotel building which has cost N30 billion to complete.”

The party, while averring that it strongly believed that the governor had about 60 per cent shares in the hotel, said that he should account for why he personally commissioned the hotel himself.

The PDP, while reiterating that it was convinced that Fashola and his predecessor had indeed plunged the state into debt, lamented that Lagos residents were still not enjoying improved social welfare services despite the fact that the state realised at least N23 billion as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) every month.

“What we see instead are new hotels, shopping malls, airlines, banks, private housing estates, construction companies that are linked to the governor or his predecessor,” the party said.

The PDP, therefore, demanded that Governor Fashola make public his assets within 14 days or else it would mobilise Lagos people for a protest to demand same.

Hahahahaha. . . Fashola and Tinubu are now multi billionaires with Lagos taxpayers money.

He shouldn't give a damn like GEJ also didn't give a damn!

The Lagos state PDP has showed times without number that it is full of clowns and non-thinking old men.

They will organise massive street protests? Where will they get the crowd that will join them in there huge waste of time?

They claim the governor has a 60% stake in the hotel: where is their proof? Or did they see it in their dream?

First it was that Tinubu owns the hotel now it is Fashola.

Unseriuos bunch of people

Ultimatum?? Dat sounds like some flat-headed thang!! C'mon don't tell me their Candidate is from Ladipo Market!?

Kosi Koro, Kosi'bo! Ah deyyy laff o!!

Is he suppose to give a damn? PDP of all party.

PDP is always yarning dust. They aren't happy that new businesses are opening in Lagos to create employment for Lagosians.

They are so foolish to say he should declare his Assets publicly.
He will declare his assets publicly, if only GEJ, Uduagan, and Akpabio, to mention a few, will declare theirs' publicly.
Assets Kor! Publicly Ni!
