Responding to insinuations that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was flaming the issue, the Publicity Secretary of the party in Lagos State, Mr Taofik Gani said that party has been vindicated. He denied the party’s involvement in the matter.

That can only be far from the truth, it is not true. Rather, it is a fact that the APC has always meddled in the internal issues of the PDP to cause acrimony in the system. The only thing that the PDP has done and what it has always done is to expose, as an opposition party, any fraud and mis governance in the state.

The PDP has always been doing that since the time of Fashola. So, if it is doing so now that Ambode is governor, it means that the opposition party, PDP, is doing what Lagosians want. So, that should not mean we are intervening in the affairs of the APC. We don’t want to be blackmailed. It is a notorious fact that the former governor, Raji Fashola, went into so many projects, which are uncompleted. The projects remain uncompleted till now.

He also took huge loans, which he never paid. If by our findings, the incumbent governor is interested or the godfather governor is interested, that is not a disservice to the state. Fashola should rather defend himself and stop being diversionary.

We want to say unequivocally that the PDP is not in any way connected to the crisis the APC is having in the state as at now.”
