The Lagos state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the government of Akinwunmi Ambode to explain its decision to declare Thursday as a work-free day.
The government had asked workers to be off duty as a result of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the state.
In a statement by Hakeem Balogun, spokesman of the PDP in the state, the party criticised the action of the government.
It also accused the Ambode administration of attempting to lure workers to welcome the president.
“Despite the unsolicited holiday, the Lagos state government is lobbying the reluctant civil servant of Lagos state to welcome President Muhammdu Buhari to Lagos state,” the statement read.
“Governor Ambode is trying to cover up the fact that Lagosians and the civil servants no longer the federal and state governments.”
The party said having abandoned the state since his emergence in 2015, the president is using the visit as an avenue to reconcile with Bola Tinubu, a former governor of the state.
