The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday faulted the Congress for Progressive Change presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on the cancellation of the Lagos metro line project.
The council, in a statement in Abuja by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Aba Dabo, described Buhari’s action as short-sighted.
Buhari, had on Wednesday in Lagos explained that in 1983 he cancelled the project, initiated by former Governor of Lagos, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, because he did not want to take more loans or devalue the naira.
He explained that when he got to power as a military head of state, the economy had been badly plundered and corruption had been entrenched in every sector.
According to him, it is mischievous to tag him an enemy of Lagosians because he cancelled the project.
But the PCC said, “After almost 30 years of silence, General Muhammadu Buhari has finally found his voice and provided a specious political excuse for his disastrous cancellation of the Lagos metro line project.”
It noted that Buhari’s spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, had earlier said the former head of state knew nothing about the cancellation.
The PDP stated, “We are appalled by this singular act (the cancellation) that has compounded the traffic problems of Lagos, the seat of Nigeria’s economy.”
This GidiGlobe has more to show than what first meets the eye. So, i won't say much but to make you decide what we do... NB:We see and snitch on everything behind the GLOBE.
