Fashola Ownership Of 60% Shares In Intercontinental Hotel Untrue – APC by Mynd44: 11:06am On Oct 03, 2013
3days ago, Gov. Fashola unveiled the new Intercontinental Hotel, the tallest hotel in Lagos and reportedly Lagos’ first five star hotel.
A day later, the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) in the state through its publicity secretary Taofik Gani, accused the governor of owning 60 per cent of the massive hotel.
Now the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to the PDP, describing the party as “a band of irresponsible characters that excel in trading lies and gossip as political wares.”
The APC’s response which was made by the Lagos State Interim Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, said that “it is the height of irresponsibility for what calls itself a party to engage in disingenuous lie peddling, hauling of infantile gossip and unsubstantiated forgeries just because it longs for a political position it can never achieve through more honest means.”
It advises Lagosians to treat Lagos PDP as an seriousness bunch of gossips who have shown no knowledge of governing Lagos besides salivating on how to milk Lagos, in the known tradition of the PDP, which has left Nigeria wrecked and prostrate today.
The statement said: “It is horrifying, indeed, highly alarming that a party should shamelessly engage in such dubious, irresponsible and callous peddling of puerile lies for the dubious profit it aims to harvest from this. The ownership of Intercontinental Hotel is The Milan Group, which is a reputable company with long history of doing business and a verifiable company and ownership structure. In establishing this record-breaking hotel, drew some support from the Lagos State Government and Wema Bank. How this translates to Fashola owning 60 per cent of the ownership is best known to the minds of the grim reapers that will not cease from hoping that by sheer con arts, they will corner Lagos and add it to the many states and the federal states their party members had thoroughly wrecked and ran into clear bankruptcy.
“As, we await the Lagos PDP to come forward with the proof of their wild and specious allegation, we will not help but point out to Lagosians the dubiety of the characters that represent the PDP in Lagos. They are asking Governor Fashola to declare his assets publicly while they never saw anything wrong with the position of President Jonathan that he won’t give a damn about the general outcry of Nigerians that he declare his assets publicly in the face of the gargantuan corruption that has pervaded the PDP governance of Nigeria. We dismiss as empty, spurious and infantile the threat by the crisis-ridden PDP to mobilise Lagosians against Governor Fashola and we dare them to be man enough and live up to their resolve. We wonder how an unpopular party, with few disillusioned members, facing monumental division, with a notorious history of corrupt governance and with nothing to show for the huge revenue that had accrued to the country for the past fourteen years can successfully mobilize Lagosians against a governor that had made Lagos a reference point in good governance not only in Nigeria but in Africa and indeed the entire world.
“We urge the Lagos PDP faction to live true to its resolve and possibly test its non existing popularity with Lagosians, after very humbling electoral failures, by mobilizing Lagosians against Fashola. We assure them that Lagosians will surely meet them on the streets.“

The problem is that except anyone has evidence to prove that, they are just making false accusations which is not legal the last time I checked.
