Olu Falae Flags Off SDP In Lagos, Slams Obasanjo

National Chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu Falae has flagged off the Lagos chapter of the party and inaugurated the state executive.

Speaking during the inauguration, Falae said: "Already, we are a force to reckon with in Ogun State because we have Senators and members of the House of Representatives in our party. We also have members in Ogun State House of Assembly and we are registering people in droves. Contrary to what people are saying, we are not a spent force because we still have fresh ideas that can move the country forward. We are going to contest every office in Lagos State and we are going to win. We are not going to charge money for women and disabled people who wish to contest."

Also speaking at the event, a chieftain of Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo slammed former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he has no right to accuse President Jonathan of being corrupt because he is guilty of the same corruption.

"Obasanjo has no moral right to accuse President Jonathan of corruption because he is also guilty. What was his bank account like be­fore he became President and what is his present account? Is he not far wealthier than he was before his election? How many farms, hotels and uni­versities did he have before he became president? How did he build his library?"

Obasanjo had at a recent event in Abuja, accused President Jonathan and the National Assembly of corruption and the dwindling of the economy.

Chief Ayo Adebanjo also took a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC), accusing them of practising the same thing they accuse each other of.

"There is nothing that the APC is accusing the PDP of that they are not also guilty of. They are birds of a feather. They claim that they are emulating Awolowo, but there is nothing to show for it. Can the leaders in APC send their children to public schools in Lagos where the roofs are leaking? Are most of their children not school­ing abroad?"
