The Lagos State Chapter of the PDP has come out to accuse the Lagos Governor, Fashola, of high level corruption in governance, stating that the governor ploughs the state’s proceeds into personal businesses, one of which is the newly commissioned 23 Storey Hotel building which has cost 30billion Naira to complete.
The Party averred that it strongly believes that Governor Fashola has about 60 percent financial contribution in the completion of the 23 Storey, N30 Billion worth hotel. “That indeed accounted for why he personally commissioned the Hotel”.
The Party states that it is convinced now, more than ever before, that the governor and his predecessor have indeed plunged the State into unnecessary high debt for their own selfish interests only.
“Every day we hear Lagos State Government collects huge loans. Presently the State is indebted to the tune of over a trillion Naira in local and foreign debts. This is in spite that the State now realises at least N23 billion as IGR every month, yet Lagos residents are not enjoying improved cheap social-welfare services. What we see instead, are: new hotels, shopping malls, airlines, banks, private housing estates, construction companies; that are linked to the Governor or his predecessor”
The Lagos State PDP “consequently reiterates her demand that Governor Fashola must make publicly declare his assets”.
The party further noted that it has “given the Governor 14 days within which to make public his assets or the masses shall be mobilised for a protest to demand same”.
