Lagos State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has frowned at the claim made by the state government that it will need N1trillion to restore the destructions arising from the violence that trailed the #EndSars protests in the state, urging the State House of Assembly to be on the alert to reject any bogus request for spendings by the government. PDP made this call in a release issued by its spokesperson, Mr Taofik Gani, expressing doubt about the amount projected, even as it described it as an extortionate tendency. The party, while tasking the State House of Assembly on its duty, warned that the people would resist any form of approval for the levy, over-taxation or loan to source for the N1trillion. We put the House of Assembly on the alert to reject any bogus request for spendings,” Gani said. It, therefore, challenged the Sanwo-Olu led All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the state to make public every kobo and the beneficiaries as envisaged by the governor.
