The recent attacks on the immediate Past Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola by the current administration headed by Mr Akinwunmi Ambode is a revelations that all is not well with the duo. I makebold to say if this persist, it might be an end to the APC led administration in Lagos State.
A quick reminder of People Democratic Party affairs at the centre when Obasanjo took over in 1999, he handed over to Yar’dua in 2007 and later to Jonathan who completed Yar’dua’s tenure and eventually won himself a single term in 2011 as Nigerian president and finally led to the party to a state of Comatose due to lack of focus and concentration. The same is been seen of Ambode currently.
There are various daunting challenges facing Lagosians which is invariably affecting average life span, all he is interested in is dragging the name of his predecessor into the mud. Government is meant to be a continuum particularly the same party and the first time we are having a government at the federal and Lagos with the same party which on its own is a plus to address various challenges in the state.
One of the challenges faced is the re-opening of the broken part to Dopemu Bridge to enhance easy flow of traffic which Fashola once did before PDP led Federal disrupted the idea, enlargement of Iyana ipaja bridge looking at the volume of cars that passes the road. A pedestrian bridge is needed urgently in some areas particularly Alimosho Local Government where currently houses many Lagosians.
We have lot of bad roads on the Ikorudu/Yaba Express way as well as Oshodi/Mushin road which is currently suffering from neglect as well as other areas. Are these not enough for a Government to tackle? All these aforementioned things are just tip of the iceberg while insecurity, unemployment and lack of pipe borne water should be things of concern to this present government not attacks.
A word is enough for the wise, whoever is fuelling seed of discord should remember other party are looking for ways to win Lagos State by all means. No Government is a saint, I make bold to say this. Babatunde Raji Fashola has done well as a former Governor and that fact will continue.
It is our belief that Ambode will also rise to that challenge but for now, Ambode na Baba Go- so- low.
