The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, on Thursday took a swipe at President Goodluck Jonathan, for blaming past leaders for the problems facing the country and his administration, advising him to “get out of the kitchen, if it is becoming to hot for him.” Fashola spoke during the mobilisation visit of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign held at Imaguero College in Benin, Edo State. The governor also berated the President, whom he said had shown anger about Nigeria’s problems and blamed “everybody,” during the commencement of the presidential campaign of the People’s Democratic Party in Lagos on Thursday, without proffering solutions. He said the February 14 presidential election would centre on the assessment of the president in his six years in office, noting that unlike the PDP, the presidential candidates of the APC had provided viable solutions to the myriad of problems facing the country in three weeks. He said, “I spent about an hour this afternoon listening to the President in my state and, for almost the same period, I saw a very angry president. I saw a president who was recriminating about people criticising his job performance and was blaming all those who ruled before him, forgetting that he had been on this job for six years. “And he kept saying that, ‘They say we don’t have a plan.’ But for 25 minutes, he did not reveal a plan on power; he did not reveal a plan on security; he did not reveal a plan on corruption. “Now, after six years, without being able to articulate what he is doing and what he will do and he keeps blaming everybody, forgetting that he is the Commander-in-Chief, if the kitchen is too hot, as it is becoming of late, you must get out of the kitchen.” The governor also assured Nigerians that, drawing from the developmental success recorded by the APC states, Nigeria could be better, if the right kind of people managed the nation’s resources. The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, lamented that while many Nigerians languished in poverty, some of their leaders were only interested in their personal interest. Oshiomhole, who recalled that the nation’s past leaders had provided infrastructure not based on ethnicity or religion but on the basis of developing the country, challenged Nigerians to choose the path they desired. He said, “So, no more lamentation, we have got to choose whether to continue to say, ‘God dey’ or to recognise that God gave us everything and he didn’t and he didn’t ask us just to rely on him for manner to drop from heaven. “In 2015, Nigerians must make a decision, today, to interrogate those who will drive those changes so that your children don’t inherit a culture and tradition of lamentation.” Vice presidential candidate of the party, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, stated that the APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was known for his stand on corruption. He added that an APC-led Federal Government would revive the nation’s power sector by encouraging the establishment of more independent power projects, as alternative sources to ensure 24 hours of power supply to different parts of the country. “In solving our power problems, we have to ensure that we do something about the cost of gas. We need to rewrite the regulation so that many, who are producing can make some money from their gas, as an incentive to supply gas,” he said. source: punch ng 4 Likes |

blemon44: Jonathan is stealing big time. The oil price has been high enough to turn Nigeria to a mini Dubai. He has had more money to play with than lots of leaders.He should stop comparing himself to military regimes who had oil takings of $19 to $35 a barrel at just about 1 million barrels per day. The military regimes were very bad but we're also forward looking enough to partner with Shell, Elf and Mobil to improve oil production to the 2.5 million barrels we are producing now. Most of the young people supporting GEJ are those who did not go to good schools or are just under the manipulation of tribalist propaganda and religion. The evils in the regime are visible enough to anybody who is open eyed enough to see them. 7 Likes |

Only a failure will keep blaming every body for is inefficient. "The longest period that I have met one-on-one with the president was for one hour and ten minutes. That whole time, the president talked about nothing that was in the interest of Nigeria; instead he kept pointing out his supposed enemies and various matters that would not serve his interests". - Under my Watch by Olusegun Obasanjo |

This Fashola sef. Should past leaders be vindicated or praised? Even a child knows that it's easier to destroy than to build. It's also known that to make a great nation entails building on sound foundation laid by successive leaders but APC members don't know this. Cluelessness everywhere. |

I became involved in a very hot debate @ the office, today, after watching the rally and expressing these same concerns raised by BRF! All GEJ did was rant angrily and blame past leaders for not equipping the military and saying he had to line up overnight to buy 2 tins of milk(laughable). Sad! 2 Likes |

The funny thing is that our mugunified president has always been in government right from the inception of this present stretch of democracy. Its not like he was just smuggled in yesterday. He has since 1999 been part of this same PDP he is blaming and has never effected any tangible change right from his days in Bayelsa first as a deputy governor, and then later as a governor. He has no plans for Nigerians. He and PDP are hell bent on distracting us with the blame games. That is what all his government is about. Blaming the opposition for all the evils in his administration. He will soon blame APC and buhari for not being capable of curtailing the excesses of his semi-literate wife whom am very sure bought all her educational certificates. 1 Like |

I've never seen a President so witless my entire life. This is one of the sides of Jonathan that really makes my skin crawl. I mean, I think he would earn a lot more respect (including mine) if he could take responsibility for some of the problems facing this country. If anything, one could excuse him by admitting that he's human and could only do so much. No man is prefect and without blemish for pete's sakes. Who is he to blame for the terrible choices he made since he became the president, for instance, the state pardons granted people convicted of stealing from the public purse? Is he also gonna blame past leaders for the overbearing attitude of his wife who seems to have courted more enemies than friends for him?? Are we to blame past leaders for his indecisiveness regarding the Chibok abductions until it was too late?? His attitude of always passing the buck to people around him smacks of crass irresponsibility honestly. 3 Likes |

Collynzo9:stop being unreasonable. We all know the huge rate of development going on in lagos state today. Talking of dubai, I guess you are not based in lagos for you not to know that lagos is building a place called eko atlantic(dubai style) on land reclaimed from the ocean. Tell us what your governor has achieved in abia state. Mind you, I do see the rate at which you guys curse theodore orji here on NL. While other leaving governors are campaigning for incoming politicians, fashola is busy still commissioning projects in lagos; he commissioned 3 projects today. One would think he's gunning for a second term. 2 Likes |

Adminisher: I doubt if any of the military regimes met a barrel of oil at 19-35 usd. Obasanjo in 1999 met a barrel of oil at 9 usd.. GEJ had a long stretch of oil boom , with little or no debt to worry about, he even increased petrol price from 65 to 97 naira, and went on a borrowing spree. 1 Like |

aljharem: Your brain is infested with cockroaches. Or how does one explain that a rational human being stated the quoted statement above? 16 years of Federal leadership under the PDP implies it is APC? Just tonight alone, Jimi Agbaje finished himself politically by defending the PDP ex-convict Thief Bode George on a political tv show. You are lost with realities on ground. Go and deal with cockroaches infesting your brain first. |
