Members
of a social political group, Lagos Agenda, have expressed their shock
and displeasure at the barrage of lies being peddled by People's
Democratic Party's governorship candidate, Dr. Azeez Olajide, in his
quest to become the next governor of Lagos state.
A
statement signed the secretary of the body, Prince Omoniyi Adekanbi,
called on PDP Lagos to warn its candidate to desist from peddling false
narratives and lies all in the bid to paint the state black in order to
justify his desperate antics to occupy the Alausa seat of government.
"Aside
making use of old videos and pictures to misrepresent the current state
of things in the state, his lack of a documented plan to make the state
better than it is now is so obvious that he criticizes what should be
normal laws in a mega city like Lagos.
"His
recent visit to the homes of perpetual traffic offenders all in a bid to
evoke public sympathy leaves so much to be desired and an indication
that he lacks the exposure and required experience to govern a
cosmopolitan state like Lagos," Prince Adekanbi wrote.
Lagos
Agenda is reacting to the a story of the unfortunate incident of an
allegedly murdered a 22-year-old fashion designer, Oluwabamise Ayanwola,
by Nice Andrew Omininikoron, a former driver of Bus Rapid Transit.
Recall
that the family recently cried out for assistance over the accumulated
N500,000 accumulated mortuary bill of the late fashion designer.
"Today,
he stormed the social media with claims of paying for the mortuary fees
of late fashion designer, Oluwabamishe, allegedly killed by a BRT
driver. Our investigations revealed that as at yesterday, the said
mortuary bill have been cleared.
"Jide should tell the world who he paid the said money to and at what time," he demanded.
The
group wondered why while All Progressives Congress, APC, is busy
selling its candidates to the electorates and doing wonders in the
state, Jide and his frustrated team are looking for all avenues to paint
the hard working executive governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu,
black.
"Why is it difficult for PDP and its
candidate to sell its manifesto to the people? Where were they when
Lagos successfully confronted COVID-19 and even won several global
commendations for its swift response? Where were they and their wisdom
when the state was facing security challenges?
"Today,
the peace being enjoyed by all in Lagos is as a result of the pragmatic
approach of the government led by governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu," the
group submitted.
Prince Adekanbi, therefore,
warned the PDP gubernatorial candidate to stop creating unnecessary
media attention, which could breach the peace in the state.
"Jide
should stop creating panic and fear that are only growing in his head.
Lagos is far too advanced to be handed over to rookies who cannot manage
a small organization successfully talk of running a local government.
"While
democracy encourages healthy competition, the use of propaganda and
outright lies should not be encouraged. Lagos Agenda is watching with
keen interest and will not allow a dead political party as far as Lagos
is concerned, turn Lagos to a training ground for governance," Lagos
Agenda concluded.
