Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has given Governor Babatunde Fashola a 14-day ultimatum to declare his assets
publicly, else it will mobilise Lagos for a street protest to demand same.
This is as the
party accused the governor of having about 60 per cent shares in the
multi-billion naira 23-storey hotel that he
commissioned in the state on Sunday.
The party gave the ultimatum on
Monday in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofeek Gani,
declaring that there was high level of corruption in governance in the state
and that “the governor ploughs the proceeds there from into personal businesses,
one of which is the newly commissioned 23-storey hotel building which has cost
N30 billion to complete.”
The party,
while averring that it strongly believed that the governor had about 60 per
cent shares in the hotel, said that he should account for why he
personally commissioned the hotel himself.
The PDP, while reiterating that it
was convinced that Fashola and his predecessor had indeed plunged the state
into debt, lamented that Lagos residents were still not enjoying improved
social welfare services despite the fact that the state realised at least N23
billion as Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) every month.
“What we see
instead are new hotels, shopping malls, airlines, banks, private housing
estates, construction companies that are linked to the governor or his
predecessor,” the party said.
The PDP, therefore, demanded that
Governor Fashola make public his assets within 14 days or else it would
mobilise Lagos people for a protest to demand same.
