Gani accused the Sanwo-Olu-led APC government of \u201cdishonesty and extortionate tendency.\u201d
\nPublicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Seye Oladejo. In a statement, cautioned PDP to be guided at this period saying, \u201cit is insensitive time to play idle politics with an incident that has thrown the entire state into mourning as a result of avoidable loss of lives and properties.\u2019
\nThe statement read in part, \u201d For starters, this remains an inappropriate and insensitive time to play idle politics with an incident that has thrown the entire state into mourning as a result of avoidable loss of lives and properties.
\n\u201cWe, as a responsible and responsive party , commiserate with the good people and government of our state.
\nWhile not preempting the findings of the commission of enquiry already set up, we condemn all acts of omission or commission that might have directly or indirectly contributed to this national tragedy.\u201d
\nAPC commended Sanwo-Olu for swift and decisive response to the unfortunate incidents, noting that the statewide tour enabled the state government to have an inventory of the monumental destruction which set the state back by decades.
\nAccording to APC, the long list of destroyed public and private properties in Lagos state, to list a few, include: Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government secretariat; Palace of the Oba of Lagos; Lagos High Court, Igbosere; Oyingbo BRT terminus; Ojodu Berger BRT terminus; Vehicle Inspection Office, Ojodu Berger; Lagos State Public Works Corporation, Ojodu Berger; Lagos City Hall and Circle Mall, Lekki; numerous luxury shops in Surulere, The Nation Newspaper, TVC and Shoprite Lekki.\u201d
\n\u201cThe transport sector lost 27 of the BRT vehicles that cost $200,000 each, while 57 of them cost $100,000 each, all totalling about N3.9 billion.\u201d
\nAccording to APC, the police, the 25 stations burnt in Lagos, include: Orile, Amukoko, Layeni, Ilasamaja, Ikotun, Ajah, Igando, Elemoro, Makinde, Onipanu, Ebute Ero, Pen-Cinema, Isokoko, Alade, Cele, Igbo Elerin, Shibiri, Gbagada, Onilekere, Makoko, Daleko, Asahun, Makinyo, Amuwo-Odofin, Anti-Kidnapping, Surulere.
\nOther police stations that were vandalised but not burnt, include: Ojo, Ojodu, Mowo, PPL and Morogbo.
\nAPC continued: \u201cThis is apart from personal losses incurred by innocent members of the public.
\n\u201cWe opine that the estimate could at the end of the day be found to be hasty and conservative with a careful consideration of the present cost of reconstruction, revamping and regeneration of these public utilities.
\n\u201cWe find it distasteful that the opposition PDP would rather mindlessly condemn and contest a mere estimate to restore our state as soon as possible.
\n\u201cPDP in Lagos, after two decades in opposition, ought to have developed a template for responsible opposition.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s also germane to gauge the mood of the people before mocking the dead and the wanton losses. Our people deserve emphathy and understanding from all and sundry.\u201d
\nThe APC therefore, called on the Federal Government \u201cto come to the aid of Lagos state at a trying time like this to successfully re-build and restore our dear state in a record time.
\n\u201cWe also want to join our voice to the call by other well-meaning Nigerians on the need for state police to forestall such incidents in future.\u201d
\nAPC also urged residents to rally round \u201cour government, embrace unconditional peace and commence the process of far reaching healing.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
