The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria has described the Minister for Information, Labaran Maku as a disoriented wayfarer and a serial blackmailer who has ridiculed the Information Ministry with his attempt to extort states for a phantom good governance tour when he had done nothing to lift the Ministry of Information above the staid position of purveyors of infantile propaganda.
The party said its position is informed by the sour grape the Minister hauled on the Lagos State government as a result of the state government;s refusal to be part of the revelry Maku is enfooling himself with all over Nigeria in the name of good governance tour. It said that Governor Fashola’s refusal to honour Maku’s tour of folly remains the reason why Maku made the nonsensical statement that Governor Fashola is doing nothing when every other opinion thinks otherwise.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the ACN, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that it is ridiculous and senile for a so called Information Minister to demonstrate this low level of opinion about a globally lauded government just because Lagos refused to entertain the kind of banality Maku and his ilk have employed to extort states in the name of good governance jamboree. The party said that Lagos State government exists for the people of Lagos who know and appreciate the value of good governance and not pay-for-hire jobbers like Labaran Maku.
“Ordinarily, we would not be drawn to join issues with Maku because he does not know what good governance is and will never recognize one, if he comes in contact with it. We know that Maku is a professional jobber and for a man who said he employed student unionism to live like a king, says of the moral depravity of the character who is no more than a jester and praise singer in a government that has failed in every facet of governance. We know that Maku is merely vending sour grapes because the Lagos State government saw through his folly of organising a programmed revelry in the name of good governance tour when he had done nothing to uplift his ministry in the years he had been the Minister of Information. One would have expected a parodist like Maku to come to Lagos to unveil the new Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the new Lagos-Abeoukuta Expresway, the new Lagos-Badagty Expressway, the new Aiport Road, the new Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, the modern, state of the art schools, hospitals, modern railway, etc, which his government has fixed with the whopping 52 per cent monthly allocation it corners every month. But here we are, Maku jumped through the death traps which the so called federal roads have become in Lagos to come and play pedestrian PDP politics in Lagos.
“If Maku in his voluntary blindness, saw only progress in the environmental sector in Lagos, can he tell us even one sector his PDP federal government has made a mark in fourteen sordid years of waste laying in Nigeria? Can he show us what he has done in the federal Ministry of Information for the period he has been minister? Can Maku tell us any fruitful achievement, except the ones he conjured in the heat of his extortion drive, the PDP governments he has patronized in his tour of folly done better than the Lagos State government?
“We challenge Maku that rather than sounding so incredible to even himself, he should tell Lagosians and indeed Nigerians those so called structures his government built in Lagos from which Lagos is collecting tolls. We feel it is a pity that someone that occupies such a position as Maku has reduced it to his low level by his infantile desire to take liberty with the truth because his extorting mission is the worst for the Lagos State government’s refusal of his tour of folly.
