Lagos PDP Warns APC

The Lagos State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has said that they won’t be in the opposition for more than four years.

This was made known to the people by the state Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mr Taofik Gani who spoke during the presentation of Certificates of Return to elected political office holders in Lagos.
INEC awarded certificates to 29 victorious winners of the concluded general elections, including the Lagos State Governor-Elect, Mr Akinwumi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress.

Gani told reporters that his party has an eye for the elusive governorship position.

“We will go back to our strategy table because we cannot afford to be in opposition for more than four years.

Gani revealed that the PDP have re-oriented its members who won House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats not to see themselves as PDP members but as representatives of the people.
“They are not going to be antagonistic but to contribute their quota to the growth of the country.
“The opposition we will play will fundamentally be constructive and not destructive.
“Indeed, it is the opposition the APC played that gave them power. We will be constructive in our criticism and ensure that we engage those in power meaningfully,” he said.

Ambode had polled 811, 994 votes to beat Mr Jimi Agbaje, the PDP governorship candidate, who came second with 659, 788 votes in the April 11 election.
