“This
new development portends great danger for our democracy and indeed
Lagos integrity. We are thus calling on the Lagos State Governor,
Babatunde Fashola, not to sit on the fence at this auspicious time.
Fashola must rise up and be counted now. He must exhibit control in
governance especially when Tinubu’s interest conflicts with the
public interest. He must see to it that the process leading to the
emergence of a market leader and any other leadership in the state is
transparent, liberal and credible.”
—Lagos
State Chapter of the PDP
Life
has some pleasantly ironic moments. Before the Lagos State Chapter of
the Peoples Democratic Party woke up to the news that the former
governor of the state, Bola Tinubu, was about to install his daughter
as the Iyaloja of Lagos, who could have thought the party
would ever understand –or even acknowledge- that anything portends
“great danger” to Nigerian democracy? Or, that the party would
even canvass a process that is “transparent, liberal and credible?”
These are surely interesting times we live in.
Interesting
indeed...
