The Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State Chapter, has lambasted the lagos state governor Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu, for leaving the state at this time to go watch AFCON currently going on in Egypt. According to the PDP, the rumored sum of about $470M has been withdrawn by the governor to take himself and some persons including APC chieftains to make the trip and the LAHA must probe this.
Criticizing the governor’s leisure trip at this time, the PDP expected Mr governor to pay visits to the innocent persons who are now victims of obvious government neglect and lackadaisical attitudes, thus described it as prodigal, misappropriation and show of insensitivity to lagosians at this time that the state witnessed disasters which include boat mishap, flooding, building collapses, fuel pipeline explosions which have led to many deaths and loss of property.
Pictures of mr sanwoolu currently at the AFCON competition in Egypt have gone viral on social media thus provoking reactions from various quarters.
“whilst we are not condemning the gesture of the governor to go watch AFCON and support the Super Eagles, we are indeed disappointed and shocked that a whooping sum of $470m could be committed to the said trip whereas the state presently has been left unattended to by the combined neglect of the governor to: constitute the state cabinet and boards; commence repairs of potholes on roads; visit the victims of recent disasters in the hospitals and in fact to undertake their medical bills; visit the sites of such monumental disasters; visit the homes of the dead innocent victims of the disasters to condole & console.
The gesture by the governor in far away Egypt is therefore lousy and reflects the governor as disillusioned, misunderstanding the priorities in governance. He should return home immediately to do the needful, this state is presently held down by his style of governance”
