Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, scored the President Goodluck Jonathan administration very low and urged Nigerians to vote it out in the next general elections.
Fashola stated that change of leadership is expedient at the national level because Nigeria is too important both globally and continentally to be left in the hands of those who “play politics with the lives of her citizens.”
Addressing members of the Yoruba Tennis Club and their Island Club counterparts at their respective Club Houses in Onikan, Lagos on Wednesday, Governor Fashola said the national government, formed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has failed to provide its most important responsibility, which according to him, is the security of life and property of citizens and protection of the territorial integrity of the nation.
The Governor, who noted that Nigerians handed over a whole country to the ruling party in 2011, expressed regrets that the same party is now returning to Nigerians to ask for another leadership mandate with only part of the country, having lost some parts to insurgents.
“They are returning now to ask for our votes with only a part of the country that we gave them because some parts of the country have been lost to people we didn’t elect. So, in that most important responsibility, they have dropped the ball.”
Governor Fashola, who expressed dismay that the PDP has politicized everything, noted that nothing is too much for the party to sloganize about.
He accused the federal government of playing politics with the very sensitive issue of the more than 200 abducted secondary school girls in Chibok in Borno State.
The Governor also said that the PDP-controlled Federal Government has also orchestrated about how it made the country “the biggest economy in Africa”, wondering why smaller economies could provide electricity for their people while the self acclaimed “biggest economy” could keep her people in darkness.
“Please ask them why smaller economies could get petrol easily for their people and why we have to queue for hours and days to get petrol in a biggest economy in Africa,” the Governor said.
He also wondered why the so-called biggest economy in Africa is trying to buy arms from a smaller economy to secure the country.
He pointed out that the nation’s currency, the Naira, is now trading for N180 per Dollar while the South African Rand is trading at R11 to one United States Dollar.
According to Fashola, what matters is the quality of the life and prosperity of the citizens and not the size or number being bandied by the PDP-led government.
Governor Fashola tasked the people to figure out the last time the President went to present the Annual Budget in the National Assembly, an obligation which, according to him, is a constitutional one.
The Governor also said that the Federal Government also played politics with the Ebola Virus Disease containment as it almost turned the very grave situation into a political trophy.
Conversely, Governor Fashola said, the All Progressives Congress controlled Lagos State Government has done well at many fronts including the Education, Security, Power and the financial sector in spite of the very precarious economic and security situation in the country.

and also because stealing is not corruption...

Fash tried as a governor but he should not forget that states like akwa ibom and cross river are pdp States that are doing well. It doesn't matter the party but the individual involved. Infact I have heard of more good stories orally from akwa ibom than from lagos.

God bless President GEJ. Victory is sure. We're already looking beyond 2015. We should be more concern of who succeeds you in 2019 now. It's well with Nigeria in Jesus name, Amen!

you mean you want to vote for a person like the below?
Waiting for Jonathan the Runaway Debater.

He ran away from presidential debate for not getting EXPO (the questions before the Debate)


He had a shameless counter debate with dbanj (who was not contesting the 2011 election)


What he did with Dbanj was a big disgrace, so he went ahead debating himself alone on National TV

In GEJ we stand

@bolded, he can't present annual budget in the National Assembly because GEJ is not good in quoting figures....

Change is only constant thing in life, I urge my igbo brothers to support GMB before it is late. GEJ body's language speaks for him. It is like a confused person. Sai Buhari

. Is like u are among this babes that patronise local weed in FESTAC

That's why I believe Fashola is not capable of leading Nigeria

The problem with Nigeria is the Structure we operate.

Even Fashola will fail if he operates on our present structure


Nigeria must empower her federal units if she desires to rise to importance.

Sorry but akwa ibom is a gas station and nothing has changed. The people remain piss poor considering the fact that this is the only state with a budget big enough to match the responsibilitities.
Amaechi is gradually transitioning port harcourt from that appellation to a centre of culture , arts , education , tourism and corporate business.that is , A proper economy whose oil economy is a part rather than the whole . He has done this by expanding the size of the Middle class and investments in the future. The middle class in akwa ibom simply does not exist beyond the civil servants .
I rate cross river second after river state in the east.

I critisized GEJ, nothing happened, I critisized Buhari and I got death threats - Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.

you're very very right, but the prefer to play Mr.Ostrich just to get political power, and surprisingly APC since the president convened the CONFAB they practically stopped talking about SNC of which Tinubu was championing with all his might.

Does GEJ have knowledge of economics? hahaha. he only knows zooconomics.

A leader must not be a professional in all fields, what a leader needs to have is the ability to take decisions and stand firm on making them materialize.

GUTS is what we need, not someone that complains of getting contrary advise.

A PDP governor in akwa ibom state did much better than u Mr fash.

Akwa ibom, a state with the larest budget in Nigeria and a population less than Alimosho local government

A nation whose leaders lack understanding of basic economics is in trouble


Half of an average citizen's demand is economic/ financial in nature .

Political power comes third .

This dirty governor should go and die. Gej stop 17yrs of fuel scarcity in nigeria.

Have you heard of what is called a constitutional crisis before.
If that arises, he would have to step down. The junior officer Corp do not like him. He is practically swimming against a tidal wave . Practically, no one does apart from those in his clan and those deceiving him.
His own people dislike him.
