The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in his six months in office as a “disappointment.
This was disclosed on Thursday by the Publicity Secretary of the state chapter of the PDP, Taofik Gani, in an interview with The Punch.
He said: “The performance of the governor has been disappointing despite the propaganda that helped him get into power. Even he has admitted that a lot needs to be done. So, I don’t know why he has continued to delay development.
In the area of education, things are getting worse. The Lagos State University is now worse. No infrastructure has been built in the school. And this is the only state university in Lagos. Former Governor Babatunde Fashola nearly destroyed the school and increased the fees by over 200 per cent. But Ambode has done nothing in the school. The governor imposed a vice-chancellor on the school. The traffic congestion in the state is worrisome as trucks now park on bridges with impunity. The governor has reduced the power of traffic officials that should manage traffic. So, we score him 10 per cent. We can pardon him if he can expose the rot he met in the system and probe his predecessor. However, we know that the APC has no plans for Lagos. Ambode is chasing shadows. He has disappointed Lagosians and should throw in the towel because his performance is embarrassing. He claimed to be an agent of change but he has not changed the plight of the people.”
