Sanwo-Olu’s Claim That He Needs N1 Trillion To Restore Lagos Is A Lie – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has come out to blast Sanwo-Olu’s alleged claim that it will take N1 trillion to restore all properties and facilities destroyed by hoodlums in Lagos State.

The opposition party recently revealed this via a statement in Lagos by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Taofik Gani.

According to him, the Sanwo-Olu-led APC government is being very dishonest with such claims and the governor is simply inflating governance in the state after the violence.

He added that such a bogus and hasty amount can only be claimed by persons in government who are likely to benefit from such proceeds.

His words, “Our accusation is coming on the heels of the declaration by the state governor that the state will need N1 trillion to repair the destruction arising from the #EndSars attacks.

“The governor had recently told governors from the South West and ministers that the amount is projected for reconstruction purposes.

“The Lagos PDP believes that such a bogus and hasty amount can only be claimed by persons in government who are likely to benefit from such proceeds.

“The party particularly raises the alarm that the money as projected is targeted at restituting known infrastructure and businesses of APC leaders and not honestly for all genuine victims per se.”

“The trillion naira is bogus and extortionate. We specifically want to know whether the Lekki toll plaza is involved. This plaza should rather be demolished.

“The people will resist any form of approval for levy, over taxation or loan to spend the trillion naira. We put the House of Assembly on the alert to reject any bogus request.”
