Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate for Lagos State, Jide Adediran a.k.a Jandor said the Lagos State government of the All Progressives Congress lacks humanity and he is hopeful of putting an end their draconian laws in the State.
Jandor and his running mate Funke Akindele had paid a visit to some Lagosians whose vehicles were auctioned off by the Lagos State Environmental Task Force last week. But this did not go down well with the APC who accused Jandor and his running mate of encouraging citizens to break the law.
The Jandor campaign group reacted to the accusation in statement signed by Demola Olarewaju saying: “The attention of the Jandor Gubernatorial Campaign in Lagos State has just been called to the depressing and despondent media statement of an outgoing antipathetic party and to us, it is a veritable indication that not only is the APC wary of its impending defeat in February next year, it has finally outed itself as a political party that lacks human feelings in any way whatsoever.
“Jandor reiterated very clearly that his visit was not to encourage the breaking of such a spurious law but to condole with families who have been punished so excessively by such a draconian law. Jandor further promised to review such laws with a view to amending them because Jandor believes that man was not made for the law but rather laws made for humans.
It is clear at this point that APC has lost the plot of governance. Governments do not just exist in a vacuum; they exist to make life better for all members of society and laws are not just a means for leaders to demonstrate how wicked they can be but to correctively ensure that life is easier for all members of society. ”
