Jonathan To Fashola: “Let’s Work Together” by mamikky: 10:52am On Sep 19, 2012 |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday called on Lagos State governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola to cooperate with the Federal Government in order to make the ‘Mega City’ better considering its importance to the nation’s economy. Jonathan said this in Lagos yesterday while reacting to Fashola’s request on the conferment of status on the state during a book presentation tagged ‘The Jurisprudence of the Living Oracles authored by civil rights activist, Tunji Braithwaite. Referencing the Central Bank record on the state, the president said Lagos ‘pedals’ about 52 percent of bank deposits in Nigeria’s economy and as such, it is a state that cannot be ignored in any way. He said, “Let me acknowledge the request of Governor Lagos; even in the car, when we were discussing about some areas we need to work together. Lagos is very important to us. There is no president in this country that will play with Lagos. That is why we need maximum cooperation between Lagos and any federal authority. Jonathan emphasized that Lagos state was one of the pillars of Nigeria’s economy, stating that whatever affects Lagos affects the entire country. “Anything that happens to Lagos will impact the country negatively. Therefore, we will work with you to see what we can do” The book presentation was part of the activities marking 79th birthday ceremony of Braithwaite. http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/09/19/jonathan-tells-fashola-lets-work-together/ 2 Likes |

Work with You? Why? Can Oil and water mix? NO Can someone who cares work with someone who does not give a damn? NO Can the most praised governor work with the most critised president? No Can an IQ of 130 work with an IQ of 70? NO Can a high speed vehicle of 300Km/hr work with one of 60Km/hr? No No Mr president, the best he can do with you is walk with you, but working with you? we non go even allow am. You will drag lagos back or at best slow it down. 53 Likes |

that's the essence of democracy, working in unity regardless of the political party, and Fashola has proven to be up to the task in goverance. |

Na wa oh, some people just rush to comment before even reading the contents of a post. The president simply identified that co-operation and collaboration of efforts is needed to make things work. It's left for Fashola to decide if whether he wants to collaborate with the federal government or not, okay? 2 Likes |

Is a good idea, weldone mr. President and i think Fashola should be ready to work too even not for anything but just for the sake of our federal road and electricity. MEGA CITY IS AROUND THE CORNER. |

When Obasanjo played politics with Lagos state funds and overall development, atleast Lagos didn't collapse. Lagos/ACN can never work with FG/PDP can never work with. Lagos alone will survive without Nigeria. 1 Like |
