PROPOSED RESIDENCE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ACN’S FALSEHOOD AND DECEIT


The Lagos state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) €attention has been drawn to the hypocritical and highly deceptive comments of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) on the proposed official residence of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Architect Namadi Sambo.

First of all, it is sad that as a party, the ACN cannot differentiate between the office of the Vice President of Nigeria and the person of the incumbent occupant hence the party has fraudulently commented on the official quarters as if the PDP is planning to erect a mansion for its leaders.

Secondly, this comment by ACN is a further confirmation of its characteristic deceptive disposition and actions. For a party whose government in Lagos State is erecting as part of pension gifts to Mr. Bola Tinubu, a magnificent mansion in a choice area of Lagos state on two acres of land and on 400 square metres of reclaimed waterfront on which the Lagos State Government has so far spent N7 billion, there is no other way to describe the ACN other than being a party of deceitful and double-faced individuals.

It will be recalled that shortly before the end of his second term in office, the government of the present national leader of the ACN, Mr. Bola Tinubu, constructed a new Governor’s Lodge at a cost in excess of three billion naira. It is imperative to state that the now existing Lagos State Governor's Pension Law is enjoyed only by Mr Bola Tinubu as even the best lagos governor, ever, Alh Lateef Jakande is not a beneficiary.

We will like to alert the good people of Nigeria to the hypocritical and deceptive character of the ACN and its repeated acts of deliberate falsehood and hypocrisy. As late Chief Awolowo has rightly explained, it is a sign of weakness and utter dementia for the ACN in an attempt to commend itself to the public, to resort to a negative process of falsehood and hypocrisy.

The time has come for Nigerian people to know the ACN for what it represents-falsehood and deceit.
