Opeyemi Adesina
The Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commended the National government of PDP for assisting the LASG by donating SURE-P luxury buses and the sum of over 8billion Naira inorder to ease the Transportation and for the provision of portable water in the State.
The Party holds that such gesture confirms that the PDP controlled National Government is indeed non-partisan on issues concerning the welfare of Nigerians in any part of the Country.
The Party is however not impressed that the LASG is playing politics with such Federal Government support to the State instead of putting same to public use.
"Our attention has been brought to the recent palliative supports the Federal Government has given to the lagos State Government inorder to eliminate the possible hardship as a result of the partial subsidy removal.
"We note that such fatherly support is expected to be appreciated by a "bonafide child" who deserves further fatherly Love. Such federal Government supports in the areas of SURE-P employment, transportation, drainages, pipe borne Water amongst others ought to be made public and attributed to the Federal Government as support to the actual development of Lagos State. But Alas, these contributions are being politicised and concealed from Lagosians.
"For example the exorbitant transportation fares in Lagos State can be forced down IF the Lagos State government put the buses into proper use for Lagosians. We fear that the Federal Government's good intention to improve social services in the transport sector may be jettisoned in lagos State unless the Federal Government buses are put on the road and fares reduced as intended by the SURE-P", the party added.
