Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has described as
shameful, the purported one-million-man march held in Lagos today, by
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the march was in support of corruption and the massive looting
of Lagos State by the APC leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, adding that;
“what the APC demonstrated was that they don’t care about the feelings
of the people.”
The minister said in a statement issued on Saturday and made available
to press men in Ado Ekiti that the APC should defend the allegations
of converting almost all the landed properties in Lagos to his
personal use and monumental looting of the State by Tinubu rather than
embarking on a show of support for corruption in the name of
one-million-man march.
He said; “the APC and its leaders need to seek forgiveness from God
for stealing Lagos State blind, instead of marching on the heads of
the same Lagosians that they shortchanged for 16 years.”
Adeyeye, who noted that Tinubu became stupendously rich at the expense
of Lagos State tax payers, added that it was an insult for anyone to
be matching in support of a corruption personified individual like
Tinubu.
“One is not surprised that they took to the streets in Lagos to show
solidarity to Tinubu, who is being accused of massive looting of Lagos
State.
“Afterall, the APC said officially that ‘even if Tinubu and the party
presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari are shown in a video robbing
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerians must vote for the party.’
“In other words, they are saying that even if Tinubu acquires the
Alausa Secretariat the way he acquired the secretariat of Eti-Osa
Local Government and several other properties belonging to the people
of Lagos State, Lagosians can go to hell!
“This is shameful and Nigerians should note that handing over the
country to Tinubu and his cabal will be tantamount to auctioning the
country at the World Trade Centre,” the minister said.
