Jimi Agbaje

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has berated the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, for promising to scrap the Lekki-Epe tollgate if he emerges as governor next month.

The APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said the promise was either naive or a blatant lie to con Lagosians into voting for him.

It said at a time when oil prices were dropping and Federal Government allocations to states had reduced, it would be unwise for Lagos, which currently has the highest Internally Generated Revenue in the country, to begin to lose resources.

The APC said Agbajes promise was hypocritical as the PDP-led Federal Government, which is working on a Second Niger Bridge, plans to collect tolls on the bridge for 25 years.

It said the federal Airport Road, which is in shambles, also had a tollgate and wondered why Agbaje was bothering himself with the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The APC said it was funny that Agbaje could criticise the state government for the manner it had embarked on the construction of the Lekki-Epe Expressway when the Federal Government had neglected all its roads in Lagos, including the Lagos-Ikorodu Road and the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which are being constructed by the state government.

The statement read, Lagosians are aware that the dilapidated Airport Road, which the PDP-led Federal Government has abandoned while playing politics with completed world-class roads in Lagos, has a tollgate and we wonder why Agbaje and Lagos PDP have not promised Lagosians that their assumed government will not only stop toll collection on the road but will build it in the unlikely event that they control the government of Lagos State.

Lagos APC notes that out of frustration from the criminal negligence the PDP Federal Government has meted out to federal roads in Lagos for the past 16 years, the Lagos State Government has undertaken the reconstruction of many federal roads in Lagos and is currently delivering world-class reconstruction of such roads like the Lagos- Ikorodu Road and the Lagos- Badagry Expressway which serves as a gateway to the country but which had been completely abandoned by the PDP Federal Government.

But we find it alarming that someone that dreams of governing Lagos is issuing such economically disastrous threats to foreign investors in a state like Lagos when the Federal Government, under the control of his party, has made the sing-song of attracting elusive foreign investment the epicentre of its failed economic programme for the past 16 years.

I think anyone who's been paying attention for the past eight years might have a clue as to Obama's default position on Social Security:

When House Republicans signaled last week that they would provoke a fight over Social Security in the next two years, progressive stalwarts like Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren decried the action, with Brown alleging the GOP wanted to "set the stage to cut benefits for seniors and disabled Americans."

But notably silent on the Republican stance, which prevents what has been a routine transfer of revenue between the retirement and disability funds, upping the chances of a crisis for the latter in late 2016, was the Democratic official who might actually be at the table if conservatives succeed in forcing negotiations in the next Congress: President Barack Obama.

TPM asked multiple times last week for the White House's position on the House action, but never received a formal response, a stark contrast to the loud public pronouncements of Brown, Warren, and others. It also invokes the uneasy relationship between the White House and Social Security advocates, who were dismayed by Obama's willingness to accept cuts to the program during the 2011 grand bargain talks with House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).

"Advocates do not trust the president on Social Security," Monique Morrissey, an economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, told TPM last week. "If he blinks and they message this right, it could be something."

Nancy Altman, co-director of Social Security Works, told TPM that while the Obama administration "hasn't been great on this issue," she sees encouraging signs in Obama's recent appetite for confrontation on issues like immigration.

"Our hope is that he'll be that way on Social Security, too," she said. "But if you look at past history, you can't be confident that that's what will happen."

The All Progressives Congress has warned religious leaders across Nigeria to stop using religion as a tool to divide the people, especially in the name of politics.

In a statement in Jos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the warning had become necessary following the false messages that were purportedly circulated claiming that adherents of a certain religion were being killed in a part of the country and their houses of worship burnt on Saturday, when nothing of such happened.

After receiving the text message, we investigated and discovered that nothing of such happened today, Saturday, January 17, 2015, it said

APC described as liars from hell and agents of evil those who peddled such incendiary messages, reasoning that the purveyors of such false alarm are capable of pitting adherents of the countrys two main religions against themselves and setting the country on fire.

The party challenged the security agencies to investigate, arrest and prosecute those who were behind these serpentine messages, instead of chasing shadows and turning themselves into tools of partisanship in the hands of unscrupulous and shameless politicians.

The party added, Those who will use religion to divide the citizens for political reasons are not men of God, whether they are Christians or Muslims. They are agents of darkness and posterity will not be kind to them.

APC said the same people had resorted to circulating, via SMS and e-mail, a fake list of the National Executive Committee of the APC to support their satanic claim that the party wass an Islamic Party.
