Lagos under APC bondage –Guber aspirant


The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has been advised to prepare to leave as the opposition party in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is poised to take over seat of government in 2015.
Giving the advice in Lagos, a gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of PDP in the state, Mr. Akintoye Branco-Rhodes declared that the party would take over power in 2015.

He said: “APC days in office in Lagos State are numbered. Governor Babatunde Fashola should start preparing his hand-over notes to PDP candidate. Lagosians are tired of APC, the people are yearning for a change; they want an alternative government and PDP is set to sweep into power in Lagos State in 2015.”
Insisting that Lagos State had not fared well in the last 15 years under APC government, Branco-Rhodes accused the party of running an oppressive government that had foisted hard policies on Lagosians.
“It is time for us to free Lagos. Let us all join hands to free Lagos State from APC bondage.
From Tinubu’s years to the present dispensation under Fashola, Lagosians have not got the best.  How do you describe a government that imposes multiple taxation on the people, how do you describe a government that harasses petty traders, and uses KAI to extort money from hapless citizens?
“Apart from few urban centres, where cosmetic projects were undertaken, most parts of Lagos State are in a state of decay. Bad roads, dilapidating structures that serve as schools and health centres dot most of the rural and urban areas in Lagos State.  Houses that are constructed which they described as low-cost houses are sold for millions of naira, which are not affordable to the masses.  APC has disappointed Lagosians, there is need for a change of government,” he declared.
In his assessment, Fashola had been over-rated, saying he had not done anything unusual to attract the accolades being showered on him by some people.
