Building Collapse: Calls For Sanwo-Olu’s Resignation ‘Childish”- APC

The All Progressives Congress, Lagos Chapter has on Wednesday responded to calls by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Candidate PDP, Abdulazziz Adediran Jandor for Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu to resign, dismissing the call as ‘childish’.

In an interview, Seye Oladejo, Lagos APC spokesman added that the government has continued to punish those found culpable in the spate of building collapse, and that it was not something for the opposition party to celebrate.

He said, “The Lagos State government has not hesitated to investigate the cause of such incidents and wield the big stick where necessary. While there may still be a few bad eggs in the sector who continue to circumvent the system, we remain committed to its complete sanitation.

“It is unacceptable, devilish and uncivilised for the PDP to celebrate the incident and dance on the grave of the victims in the name of politics. The Lagos State government remains resolutely committed to the protection of lives and property of all Lagosians. We will continue to do our utmost as the regulatory body for all manner of construction while we all as citizens also have a duty to comply with all rules and regulations.

“The childish call for the resignation of the governor is, to put it mildly, in bad taste. It reflects the palpable fear of the opposition of the imminent characteristic defeat during the coming elections. The reference to Mr Governor’s trip is puerile and infantile, even with the low standards of the PDP. Deputy Governor Kadri Obafemi Hamzat was at the site. So were other senior officials, who ensured that the search-and-rescue operation went on unhindered”, he added.
