Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State verbalizes by utilizing the Gani Fawehinmi Park in the state for a political rally, the Peoples Democratic Party has shown that it is unblushing.

Fashola verbalized the PDP had faulted his administration for building parks and gardens in the state, only for the party to make utilization of one of them on Friday.

He verbalized on Monday at the 2014 Tree Plant Campaign in Eti-Osa Local Council Development Area, titled, ‘Life Is Better with Trees’.

He verbalized, “The PDP has afore now criticised our regime, verbalizing the parks were built for elites.

“You will recall that the Gani Fawehinmi Park is one of the products of this Greening and Tree Planting initiative; there was no park there afore we commenced.

“When the people held rally at that park to protest against the anti-people policy of the subsidy abstraction by our opponents, they were repelled by heavily-armed security personnel.

“They always turn security personnel against the people they are supposed to bulwark in lieu of against those who threaten the people. But our opponents have no ignominiousness. In their unthinking erraticism, it was at the same park, the same Gani Fawehinmi Park that they now opted to hold their party rally last week.

“They lie, they forget what they verbalized. They have forgotten that the park is cosmetic, that the park is elitist, or indeed are they the elites? For me, they have shown us who they are ─ a party that is unworthy of trust and destitute of in consistency.

“For the people of Lagos, our employers, this is the last tree planting day that I will address you as your governor.”

He verbally expressed the regime had institutionalised the policy by establishing the Lagos State Parks and Gardens to maintain the parks.

The governor integrated that the All Progressives Congress remained committed to perpetuating the initiative.

“But you ken now what our opponents contemplate this programme, they have told you. So if you value this job, if you value the economic benefit, you must vote to keep this programme going,” Fashola integrated.

He verbalized the state, between 2008 and 2013, engendered 28, 094 jobs from the annual tree planting.
