Lagos APC to PDP: Focuses on governance not theatrics

By Henry Obetta

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, accusing it of prioritising propaganda over effective governance.

In a statement issued on Saturday by its Publicity Secretary, Christopher Odianarewo, the PDP described recent remarks by the APC spokesman in Lagos as “unsolicited” and “theatrical.”

Odianarewo said the opposition party does not require “diagnosis” from a ruling party he accused of failing in governance while excelling in propaganda.

“It is indeed fascinating, if not comical, that the APC, a party presiding over unprecedented economic hardship, insecurity, and institutional decay, now seeks to position itself as the moral compass of opposition politics,” he said.

The PDP spokesman challenged the APC to address key concerns affecting residents of Lagos, including the reported ₦40 billion CCTV project on the Third Mainland Bridge, which he claimed lacks visible impact.

He also raised issues around alleged displacement of communities in Makoko, Otumara, Otto, Iwaya, and Iyana Oworo, as well as infrastructure concerns such as the state of Idumagbo Avenue on Lagos Island.

Odianarewo further questioned what he described as multiple taxation, rising transport fares, and increasing food prices under the APC administration.

On the national level, he cited challenges such as currency instability, power supply issues, insecurity, and rising fuel costs, arguing that these have worsened living conditions for Nigerians.

Despite the criticisms, he said the PDP remains focused on rebuilding and reconnecting with Nigerians, positioning itself as a credible alternative.

“Unlike the APC, we do not confuse media noise for measurable progress, nor do we substitute propaganda for performance,” he stated.

He advised the APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, to focus on addressing his party’s shortcomings rather than interfering in the affairs of the opposition.
