Lagos Flood: Acn Slams Pdp Over Calls For Fashola's Resignation by Tunsbobo(m): 10:42pm On Jul 15, 2011
Lagos – The Action Congress of
Nigeria, ACN, has slammed the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
for asking Gov. Babatunde
Fashola to resign over the recent
flooding in the state, describing the
call as a failed attempt to make
political capital out of an
unfortunate situation.
In a statement, Friday, by its
National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party
said the government of Lagos state
was highly proactive and responsive
over the flooding, hence it deserves
commendation rather than
condemnation.
It said if PDP’s warped logic in
calling for Gov. Fashola’s
resignation were to be extended, then
President Goodluck Jonathan
should by now have resigned from
office over the worsening insecurity
in the land, especially from the
rampaging Boko Haram; over the
devastating kerosene scarcity for
which his government has no clue; over
the skyrocketing cost of diesel and
the ballooning exchange rate for the
Naira, not to talk of the worsening
state of infrastructure.
”Flooding,
like tsunami
or hurricane, is
a natural
disaster for
which no
government,
not even in the
developed
countries, has
found a fool-
proof remedy.
However, what
Nigeria has
been
suffering from under the PDP are
PDP-made disasters, which could
have been averted by purposeful
governance,” the party said.
ACN said long before the rains
started, the government had been
warning residents to brace up for
what will be an unusually intense
rainy season, while also clearing
drainage and opening flood channels
across the state in an effort to
mitigate the impact of the heavy
rains.
”Unfortunately, Lagos received
264mm of rainfall last Sunday,
which the Nigerian Institute for
Oceanography and Marine Research
said was the equivalent of the
volume normally received in a whole
month. When this is added to the
topography of Lagos and the
unsavoury attitude of some residents
in turning drainage into refuse
dumps,the effect was far reaching.
”But the government’s response was
immediate and impressive.
Officials were quickly deployed
across the state to assess the
situation and put in place palliative
measures; public schools were shut to
protect pupils and students while
residents who did not have to be on
the roads were asked to stay off, to
allow for a proper assessment of the
situation.
”Even Gov. Fashola and his team
hit the road, touring the affected
areas and ordering immediate actions
to alleviate the impact. This is
responsive governance!” the party
said, warning the PDP to keep quiet
if it has no meaningful contribution
to make towards finding a lasting
solution to the perennial flooding
problem.

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.

Fashola - Here's the dictionary definition of 'Proactive'

serving to prepare for, intervene in, or control an expected occurrence or situation, especially a negative or difficult one; anticipatory:


Fashola - You Failed in being Proactive and the 'Reactive' measures you took were ineffective and 'Futile'

(Futile - incapable of producing any result; ineffective; useless; not successful)
