The Lagos state chapter of the Action Congress has lashed out at Lagos PDP for thinking that its National Executive could successfully intervene in their favour to stop the just-concluded local council elections in Lagos.
The party says by hanging on to this belief and employing to embark on an ill-advised boycott of the council polls, the state PDP has shown that it is still detained by the nauseating politics of the cave, which former president Obasanjo sponsored for eight years, which was a crude distortion of Nigerian politics to favour his hirelings and cronies in the PDP.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the party's Lagos State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, Lagos AC said it was reacting to the contention of a faction of the state PDP and its candidates that they heeded the party's directive to boycott the party, expecting the party, at the national level, to do something about the election. Lagos AC then advised the PDP, both at the state and national levels, to wean themselves of the feeling that it would commandeer any state in Nigeria by lawless fiat and adjust to the reality that their stolen empire is in decline all over the country.
'For the issue of local councils in Lagos, we have secured several positive judicial interpretations against the greedy penchant of the PDP to seize Lagos by all means. The Supreme Court gave two damning verdicts against the PDP's lawless desire to control Lagos by denying it the rights and power to create local councils. It went ahead to affirm that judgment as the party engaged in all known pranks to subvert that landmark judgment pleading non-understanding of the ruling.
'We want to let the PDP know that they have no real following and very minimal stake in Lagos and the earlier they realize this and stop their infantile desire to add Lagos to their vassal territory, the better for them.'
