The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said the infrastructural and recreational facilities provided at the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, had been vandalised by the People’s Democratic Party after they held a rally at the park on Friday, Punch Reports.
The Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, who inspected the park after the rally, expressed shock at the level of damage done to the park.
The government said the platform and base of the late human rights lawyer’s statue was damaged, while the park railings, the green lawns, and the solar light panels had been vandalised.
Bello said, “Over the years, the Lagos State Government had invested heavily in promoting the greening culture in the state, an effort which has won the state local and international recognition as a green city.”
“Rather than the PDP government providing good governance to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, they came to Lagos to harass and deny people who earn a living from maintaining the park, their means of livelihood.
“With this act of vandalism and terrorism, the PDP government again demonstrated its penchant for violence which they are noted for.”
