PDP Faults Fashola’s Criticism Of Good Governance Tour

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State Chapter on Wednesday faulted Gov. Babatunde Fashola’s position on the National Good Governance Tour, describing it as hypocritical.
The party said that the governor’s rejection of the team on good governance tour was an attempt to hide the state’s “shortcomings’’.
The PDP said in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani that Fashola was only playing to the gallery, pointing out that he (Fashola) and other governors had endorsed the tour.
“The same governor who has condemned the good governance tour is currently on tour of project sites in the state.
“Honestly, the attitude can be described that of kettle calling pot black.
“Lagos State Government has no moral right to criticise the tour; it has been celebrating every 100 days in office since 2007 wasting public funds,’’ the party said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Fashola had on Feb. 26, while marking his 2,100 days in office, said that Lagos would not welcome the team.
According to him, “a government does not need a good governance tour to showcase its projects as good projects can be seen by the people.’’
The National Good Governance Tour, led by the Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, was inaugurated on Sept. 20, 2012.
The tour has so taken them to all the South-South states and some states in the North
