PDP demands Fashola resignation


The Lagos state chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded for the "immediate resignation" of the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola over the flooding of most parts of the state on Sunday.

The party also demanded an unreserved apology from the governor and the payment of adequate compensation to the families of those who lost their lives and property in the flood.

The party's publicity secretary in Lagos State, Taofik Gani, made this known in a statement on Wednesday, where it sympathised with residents affected by the two-days heavy downpour.

PDP described the disaster as "an avoidable trauma," insisting that the state government could have done more to prevent the flooding.

"Contrary to the claim by the state government that Lagosians dump refuse and build on the drainage, the actual cause of the flooding is lack of proper drainage. It is uncomplimentary for the state government to accuse Lagos residents for its own negligence, dereliction of duty and maladministration," the statement read.

According to the party, the state government had over the years failed to clear primary drainage in the state which resulted in last Sunday's floods. It also alleged that the blocking of waterways by construction companies also contributed to the flooding.

More blame

Blaming the government for the ongoing Eko Atlantic project, the PDP claimed that the unnecessary sand filling of lagoons, seas and the ocean by the state government also raised the water level of the ocean.

The statement further lamented the frequent collapse of buildings and loss of lives in Lagos State as it blamed the continued collapse of buildings in the state on the inability of the state to punish government officials involved in the monitoring of building construction.

The PDP then called on the state government to provide affordable housing for the people as a way of making substandard buildings unattractive.

Fashola - Tender Your Resignation - 

I could not get the pressure here. PDP is only trying to form a formidable opposition in lagos

Delusional OP!!

How many people's lives have they themselves destroyed .

Pdp itself is a catastrophe that need to be eliminated.

well said

It smacks of mischief if, out of all the states that flooded, Fashola is the only one they are calling on to resign. Not that I mind this approach of calling on public officers to resign or putting them under pressure, but this beautiful call should also be extended to Mr Jonathan who for so many reasons - PHCN, Boko Haram, Kerosene scarcity, etc.

Isnt the op the same person who posted photos of jonathan and pdp looting the national coffers right after the election?

No let longerthroat finish una oh.

A very stupid response. . . . . .

Is GEJ to blame for Fashola's mess?

How about sticking to the matter at hand.

Fashola has been exposed for what he is - an incompetent Governor.

^^no doubt you long for the day when you'll have unrestricted access to looting.

sorry for your disappointment.

Only a slowpoke will ask Fashola to resign. Why won't Slowpoke Jonathan resign ? PDP is satanic. They've been in power for soo long and have done nothing for Nigeria.

Ok - So your out to derail another thread.

Typical of you and your immature backward nature.

You act like a very wayward, mischievious 14 year old child.

And your command of English is equivalent to that of an 8 year old.

Most of your post I do find comical - just as I still find clowns comical.

I really do pity you - you have major psychological issues.

I wont be stupid enough to disclose my age to you - however I will state you will never be on my level.

I'm not a Tinubu supporter, because I see him as an obstacle, a coward that loves power, attention and stolen money.
However, we must not totally ambush Fashola so fast, because he's honestly trying his best in some areas.
Those PDP members talking rubbish can die and go straight to hell. They can never match the half job Mr. Push-over (Gov Fashola) is managing to do in Lagos state, even if each of these PDP members has 4 extra legs and hands.

A Spade must be called A spade, and not a Range Rover.
