Lagos gridlock paralyses commercial activities, Ambode blames FG

 Apapa, Lagos

By Fred Latimore

Lagos State Government is sad over President Muhammadu Buhari’s deliberate failure to develop other sea ports in Nigeria, to enhance economic growth and development, giving credence to massive defections from APC to PDP.

Gov Akunwunmi Ambode’s anger and absolute displeasure was monitored on Channels Television news at 10 on Thursday 27th July, 2018; wherein he frankly berated President Buhari for keeping deaf ears to the acute problems of traffic management which has paralysed commercial activities in Lagos State.

He bluntly told Mr President that all he needed to do to free Lagos from Apapa gridlock was to develop other seaports in the country including the Warri and Koko Ports to serve as destination points to decongest Lagos ports.

Gov Ambode’s poor rating of Buhari administration has been applauded by Nigerians, a reaction anchored on love of country and rare display of patriotism.

President Buhari has been poorly rated all over the world for being the first Nigerian democratically elected President to fracture the rule of law to offensive proportion as can be seen in his delebrate refusal to obey court orders, particularly the continued unlawful detention of former national security adviser, Col. Samba Dasuki and others.

APC national government also well known as “blame game government” has been berated by the mass media for shielding Fulani Herdsmen who went about killing innocent Nigerians across the country under the guise of self defence while at the same time rapping married women,  young girls in their farmland without arrest and prosecution by law enforcement agents of APC national government till date.

The Nigerian Police main duty for several months now is to devise all kinds of criminal allegations on Senate President, Bukola Saraki,  his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and Distinguished Senator, Dino Maleye and other perceived political enemies of Mr President. How did the Nigerian Police under IGP ABUBAKAR got here?  What a shame!

It has also  been widely alleged that President Buhari, a Fulani Herdsman, is also the National President of  Meyitti Allah Cattle Business Association of Nigeria; and for this reason decided to give security protection to his members and their criminal activities via the nation’s security network.

It follows that Gov Ambode’s recent outburst on the poor performances of the Buhari administration has been adjudged timely and faultless, an indication that the CHANGE mantra of the APC has done more evil than good for Nigeria and Nigerians

Unfortunately, Ambode’s candid advised to his failed President Buhari came rather too late because we are now in election year where governance shall be drastically slowed down to give sufficient time for party primaries, electioneering campaigns into 2019 general elections early next year.

In the light of the above, the Apapa gridlock shall remain a nightmare for Lagos State, Gov Ambode and Lagosians till after the general elections in 2019.

It is hoped that the incoming administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the centre shall develop other ports in the country so as to finally solve the traffic management problems in Lagos State.

Weep not Gov AMBODE. PDP has the solution  to your wailing and frustrations come 2019
