Opeyemi Adesina
The Lagos State PDP has unequivocally thrown its weight behind the appointment and Service of the Senior Special Assistant on public affairs to the president,Dr Doyin Okupe.
The party is convinced that the appointment of Dr Doyin Okupe into the presidency at this time is the needed panacea to confront the unpatriotic and destructive criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan's Transformation Agenda for the Nation.
"This Solidarity is in reaction to the syndicated call for the resignation of the recently appointed SSA, Dr Doyin Okupe. We know that the call is coordinated by Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the national Publicity Secretary of ACN. We wonder why the President's critics have suddenly become restless if not that they have been ambushed by the appointment of Dr Doyin Okupe, who surely will seal up all their sources of information in the presidency and even match them, intellect for intellect on all National issues. Alhaji Lai Mohammed is particularly restless now that Dr Doyin Okupe is in the presidency because only the Sagacity of Dr Okupe can checkmate his lousiness."
The Party opines that Alhaji Lai Mohammed has become a liability to ACN and a National embarrassment to the country by his frequent unsubstantiated condemnation of president Goodluck Jonathan's policies.
"Indeed Alhaji Lai Mohammed has lost focus and not fit and proper to enjoy any regard in the noble field of Publicity Secretaries and we caution the young Publicity Secretaries not to emulate his styles of destructive criticism"
On the contrary, the Lagos State PDP has reiterated its call for the resignation of Alhaji Lai Mohammed as ACN National Publicity Secretary while also calling on the Police and EFCC to immediately investigate the activities of Knightbridge Dredging Limited, a Company owned by Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his son, Folajimi Lai Mohammed.
For sake of clarity, the said Company was awarded the 9KM Lagos Channelization project. The project was not duly carried out and this led to the canals overflowing and causing floods which resulted into loss of lives and Property last year and beyond.
In the meantime, the party has warned Nigerians against taking seriously the criticisms of Lai Mohammed as he has shown himself to be immoral, unreliable, chauvinistic and a betrayer of trust.
"Alhaji Lai Mohammed has indeed become RABID attack dog whose only control is material wealth.
For avoidance of doubt, he recently attacked the person of mallam Nuhu Ribadu because the young man opted to serve his Nation as Chairman of Petroleum Task force.
Long before then, Alhaji Lai Mohammed had exhibited his penchant for sycophancy and betrayer when he described former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, as a member of "Satanic Five" and an "unconventional Politician".
In exposing the rigging strategies of the former Governor, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated that "It was the strategic thinking of Tinubu that when you order a re-run in two or three wards, it means you have cancelled the results of election in those wards" and that in their days in SDP, they (referring to himself, Tinubu and Co.) "...had to do what we called ECOMOG. We brought people from everywhere. The strategy was to move people enmasse to make accreditation difficult"
Similarly, in his attempt to eulogise Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Lai Mohammed exposed his own dubious and fraudulent tendencies when he confessed that " I met Tinubu on a daily basis. He was still working in Mobil. He was raising Funds for us from his cooperate friends and I was the CHANNEL & CONDUIT for the money he raised. I would take it to the Party, Use it for Logistics and use it for election!
With these self confessions, one needs no further proof as to why Alhaji Lai Mohammed was appointed Chief of Staff by Bola Tinubu in a Government that had so much revenue but shortchanged Lagos State. For the umpteenth time, we challenge Alhaji Lai Mohammed to make Public his Asset declaration forms before and after being in d Government of Bola Tinubu if indeed he is a fit and proper Publicity secretary.
