PDP Sings Praises of Gov. Ambode of Lagos on His Birthday

 

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has been congratualated on his 53rd birthday by political arch-rivals, People's Democratic Party (PDP) of the Lagos state chapter.

 

The leader of the opposition party rarely affirmed that the governor has lived up to expectations with his performances in his first year in office as the executive governor of the state.

 

He has also been commended for his financial assistance to cancer patients to ease their burdens out high costs of treatment. The spokesman of the PDP in Lagos state, Gani Taofik said “The PDP opines that the governor has attempted to justify his election.

“Observing these attempts, such as in the area of road rehabilitation with pedestrian bridge construction, we will give the governor the benefit of the doubt that he is serious about serving the general interest and not parochial or APC interest as his predecessor did.

“We will keep a tab on his governance and commend or condemn same as applicable. In this period of his birthday celebration, we want to commend him and hope that he sees this assessment as a challenge for him to perform better.”

Taofik also added that “The PDP wishes the governor good health, sound mind and, above all, the fear of God necessary for him to be responsive, productive and just to all. Happy birthday and many happy returns.

“More disturbing to us is that the governor’s lowest point at this time is his neglect to conduct election into the local government councils. This is long overdue. He should allow the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission to announce the election date this week to serve as his birthday gift to Lagosians.”

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode turned 53 on Tuesday, June 14, 2016.
