Otunba Segun Adewale, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) has only offered unfulfilled promises to people of the state.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Adewale said Lagosians have belief in the ability of the PDP to deliver at the grassroots level.

He said ahead of the local government elections billed to take place on July 22 and 29, his faction was willing to work with the Ahmed Markafi faction of the PDP in the state.

“It is obvious that Lagosians trust in our ability to deliver quality development at the grass roots and we can’t afford to fail the people. The All Progressive Congress (APC) government has only offered our people unfulfilled promises at all levels,” the statement read.

“I hereby call on all factions within the PDP in Lagos to please work together with the State Organs of the Party recognised by law towards producing commonly acceptable candidates for the various offices.

“This is not the time to exhibit selfish aggrandizement or showcase egos as party leaders. It is a time to demonstrate a high level of partisanship towards ensuring the success of the PDP at the polls.

“While we were seeking peaceful resolution and an avenue to present a common candidate for the poll, some leaders were only interested in selling nomination forms and making money for themselves.

“This same group that cost us victory at Ifako Ijaiye federal constituency election is already selling chairmanship nomination forms at N220, 000 and councillorship at N100, 000 each to unsuspecting aspirants. They are not interested in the success of the PDP at the polls; their interest is to make money from sales of nomination forms despite not being recognised by LASIEC.”
