The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has described
the administration of Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode in his six months
in office as a “disappointment.

This was disclosed on Thursday by
the Publicity Secretary of the state
chapter of the PDP, Taofik Gani, in
an interview with The Punch.

He said: “The performance of the
governor has been disappointing
despite the propaganda that helped
him get into power. Even he has
admitted that a lot needs to be done.
So, I don’t know why he has
continued to delay development.

In the area of education, things are
getting worse. The Lagos State
University is now worse. No
infrastructure has been built in the
school. And this is the only state
university in Lagos. Former
Governor Babatunde Fashola nearly
destroyed the school and increased
the fees by over 200 per cent. But
Ambode has done nothing in the
school. The governor imposed a vice-
chancellor on the school.

The traffic congestion in the state is
worrisome as trucks now park on
bridges with impunity. The governor
has reduced the power of traffic
officials that should manage traffic.
So, we score him 10 per cent. We can
pardon him if he can expose the rot
he met in the system and probe his
predecessor.

However, we know that the APC has
no plans for Lagos. Ambode is
chasing shadows. He has
disappointed Lagosians and should
throw in the towel because his
performance is embarrassing. He
claimed to be an agent of change but
he has not changed the plight of the
people.”
