Photo News: Ambode Abandons Lagos, refuse piles up

Yaba-Ojuelegba Road

By Our reporter

Following his humiliating defeat at the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a second term in office, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has virtually abandoned Lagos with refuse littering major streets and highways.

PMNEWS survey around Lagos reveals a dirty state with heaps of refuse on street corners, roads and major highways posing serious health hazards to the residents.

Environmentalists say something must be done urgently to evacuate the wastes to prevent infectious diseases from spreading to a large number of people in the state.

Irrespective of political parties .it is imperative to note every Lagos resident littering public road and resting places doesn’t help the residents .it create only deadly disease. On the part of government .current government whether it is federal or state .they didn’t performed at all ..in this country what needed is revlounatary leadership .it is very important. Time is not with our side .

When you and your gang of robbers in PDP are rejected again in the coming elections you’ll have to choose one of the following: 1. Jump headlong into the lagoon. 2. Jump into the track of a moving train train, 3. Drink sniper in your room and die a slow, agonising death.
