Fashola, who faulted the party’s decision to stage a rally at the popular park constructed by Lagos State government in Eti- Osa local council development area, , last Friday, said the state government was able to create about 28,094 jobs between 2008 and 2013 from tree planting initiative despite accusation that the project was elitist.
Fashola at a tree-planting campaign entitled ‘Life Is Better With Trees’ said: “You will recall that the Gani Fawehinmi Park is one of the products of this Greening and Tree Planting initiative.
There was no park there until we started it in 2012. “When people rallied at that park in Ojota, to protest the anti-people policy of the subsidy removal by our opponents early in the New Year of 2012, people who went there to protest, to rally against this policy, were repelled by heavily armed security personnel.
