Fayose, The PDP Sympathetic Undertaker Arrives

Lagos state All Progressives Congress (APC), Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, has said that nothing good can ever come out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but stealing.

Igbokwe reportedly said this while reacting to a recent claim by the Lagos state PDP that Ayodele Fayose and Olusegun Mimiko are the best performing governors in Nigeria and not Akinwunmi Ambode as polled by the African Leadership Magazine recently claimed.

Lagos state PDP Publicity Secretary, Gani Taofik opposing the magazine’s claim in the poll entitled, “Good governance poll for Nigeria’s top performing governors,” had alleged that the magazine’s poll was sponsored by the state government with the aim of misleading the public.

Taofik described the rating as laughable asking, “Can Governor Akinwunmi Ambode walk on the streets and receive the same kind of support that Governor Fayose gets in Ekiti? Ambode’s elitist style cannot be compared to that of Mimiko and Fayose, who are governors that the common man recognises and relates easily with.

“Ambode cannot match the popularity and acceptability that both Mimiko and Fayose command in Ondo and Ekiti states respectively. Fayose and Mimiko are far better than Ambode.”

However, Igbokwe reacting on the matter said, “The Lagos PDP will not acknowledge the monumental achievements recorded in the last 14 months by the Ambode administration, which are being appreciated by all and sundry.

“Nothing good can come from the Lagos PDP or the national leadership of the party. They are the same. The only thing they know how to do is to scheme to get to power and use their positions to steal everything in sight. See where they left Nigeria in 16 years.”
