Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State on
Thursday took a swipe at President Goodluck Jonathan for blaming past leaders for
the problems bedeviling the country and his administration, advising him to “get out of the
kitchen, if it is becoming too hot for him”.

Fashola spoke during the mobilisation visit of the
All Progressives Congress presidential campaign
held at Imaguero College in Benin, Edo State.

He also took the president to the cleaners, whom
he said had displayed nothing but anger about
Nigeria’s problems and blamed “everybody”,
during the formal inauguration of the presidential
campaign of the People’s Democratic Party in
Lagos on Thursday, without proffering solutions.

According to Fashola, the February 14 presidential
election would focus on the assessment of the
president in his six years in office, noting that unlike the PDP, the presidential candidate of the
APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) 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 were in charge of the nation’s resources.

The Edo State Governor, Comrade 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”.

Gen. Buhari’s running mate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo,
stated that the former head of state was known
for his tough stance 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.
