GEJ Has Done Nothing To Deserve A 2nd Term - Fashola by Feex: 3:41pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
*unemployment in the country has been on the ris *electricity supply has worsened *Over 200 girls are still in captivity of insurgents Lagos State Government, Babatunde Fashola has accused the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), which is anchoring the President’s re-election campaign, of “plotting to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan returns to power through propagation of false claims, saying Jonathan has done nothing to merit a second term. Fashola, made the remarks while speaking at the Women In Business Conference, in Lagos, yesterday, stressing that he was convinced that Nigeria under the rulership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was not transforming as TAN would want Nigerians to believe through its numerous adverts. He made an example on the situation in the power sector where electricity supply has worsened under the present administration. Similarly the governor said unemployment in the country has been on the rise, adding that it was unfortunate that Nigeria, a major oil exporter, was depending on importation of all sorts of goods produced abroad to build her economy. When the price of crude oil stood at a an average of $100 per barrel for almost a decade, he said the PDP-led Federal Government was unable to transform the country. He therefore wondered how the same government would manage to do better in 2015 with the price of crude oil dropping to about $80 per barrel in recent weeks. “Where the North East is under siege and the economy has continued to nosedive, the transformation ambassadors have continued to distort the true information that all is well. “All it takes to cripple our economy is for those countries we sell oil to say they won’t buy from us any longer,” he said. He pointed at the recent examples where Nigeria was denied access to arms, saying this was exactly the situation the country has found itself regarding importation of other goods, including refined petroleum products. In 2010 alone, he said Nigeria spent N2.5trillion importing petroleum productsinto this country, despite the existence of four refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna. At the moment, the governor said the country has less money to continue the importation, pointing out that if the country could not pay for fuel importation, the implications were clear to all Nigerians He predicted that in no distant future, the dreaded long fuel queues would return with its dislocating consequences to the economy. .“The government is yet to give us power as promised, They are yet to give us fuel, We are yet to see the standard highways they promised. There are so many Nigerians living without electricity. “Within their transformation period, thousands of people in the North East have been killed, while thousands have turned into refugee in their fatherland, Over 200 girls are still in captivity of insurgents and the North East is still under siege. With all these, the transformation ambassadors are telling Nigerians that all is well,” he concluded. www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/2015jonathan-done-nothing-merit-second-term-fashola/ |

Fashola as the Governor of Lagos State has also done nothing for Lagosians,therefore he does not deserve accolades and APC does desrve to rule Lagos beyond 2015. Lagos State Government under Fashola has spent over 6(Six) Trillion Naira in the last 7 years with little to show for it. 1. N800,000,000,000(Eight hundred Billion Naira) Statutory Allocation from the Federation Account). 2. N3 Trillion Naira Internally Generated Revenue. 3. N2.6 Trillion Statutory Allocation to Local Government Areas from the Federation Account. 4. N450 Billion Local and International Debts. 5. N80 Billion grants from Ecological Funds, Universal Basic Education et cetera. 6. Undisclosed dividends on Lagos States Investments. Fellow Nigerians,in spite of the collossal amount of money, less than 10(Ten) percent of Lagos State roads are tarred and over 99(Ninety nine) percent of LASG Local Government roads are not motorable. Aside from this what we see around are several dilapidated public Schools structures. If the foregoing and other failures stares us in the face in Lagos State,does it lie in the mouth of Fashola to criticize the Federal Government?? 3 Likes |

Aso rock can not be vacant come 30th of may 2015. We all know that Gej has not lived up to expection even the blind could see that, so enough of the finger pointing. Let Apc bring out their candidate and sell him to the people, TAN is currently selling Gej to nigerians Apc should do same and let nigerians choose who they want to lead them. You can't hide in the dark and acuse the man in spotlight of wearing dirty clothes, come out and let the world see you. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

How come the TANoids featured the Ikoyi - Lekki Bridge as one of GEJS projects in an advert that was shown on TV yesterday? Where is the 2nd Niger bridge, Lagos- Ibadan express way, Enugu-Onitsha express way, PH- Enugu express way, East-West road? I don't know where you got the less than 10% tarred and 99 % unmotorable. Is it the same lagos isrecole: |
