US Envoy visits Lagos PDP
The United States Consul General, Lagos, Mr. Jeffrey Hawkins, has urged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to intensify effort towards making a stronger impact in future elections.
He made the remarks Wednesday when he paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos office of the PDP where he was received by the state chairman, Mr Tunji Shelle and members of the Central Working Committee.
In his interaction with the party leaders, he spoke on the need to make democracy work by developing new attitudes that can also help the democratic process in Nigeria while noting the benefits of good governance in the development of the state and Nigeria as a whole.
“I like to know what you are offering as democratic agenda in development. Democracy is thriving in Lagos and your party could win in future elections”, he stated.
Responding, the state chairman, Tunji Shelle, thanked the envoy for the visit and explained the challenges of winning elections in the state to include primordial sentiments bothering on what the PDP represented to the people as against the ruling party which, he said, were based on false perceptions and deceit by the political elite to sustain themselves in power.
