The leadership of APC, Lagos chapter has mocked the PDP over Lagos State Governorship election petitions tribunal outcome, following Jimi Agbaje's petition being struck out to affirm Governor Akinwunmi Ambode's victory in the last gubernatorial polls in Lagos state.
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos has mocked the People's Democratic Party in the state over the outcome of the Election Petition Tribunal which struck out the petition of the PDP's gubernatorial candidate, Jimi Agbaje. APC has revealed the impossibility of PDP ruling over Lagos state.
APC said that PDP will only rule Lagos when a Lion gives birth to a goat. This was declared in an early morning statement on Thursday morning by the Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Joe Igbokwe.
In his words:
“The PDP in Lagos had said they did everything to win Lagos, including setting one ethnic group against the other, dishing out millions of dollars and pound sterling, unleashing ethnic militias like the Oodua People’s Congress, deploying security agencies, SURE-P outlaws and others to harass and intimidate Lagosians to succumb and surrender Lagos to them.
"Lagos PDP failed because there is no meeting point between light and darkness, no meeting point between the serious and the unserious, no meeting point between conservatives and progressives, and no meeting point between performers and underperformers.
"How can you move a car forward by engaging the reverse gear? How can you plant cassava and hope to harvest yam? Can a goat give birth to a lion?
"The truth is that Lagos has always been in the hands of progressives since it was created in 1967 and the strong and dynamic Lagos will continue to remain in the hands of the progressives for a long time to come.
"Progressives will continue to strive for greater heights in raising standards not only in Lagos but the whole of Nigeria.”
