Lagos state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola on Monday said the popularity and performance of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has scared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of Lagos State. He noted that members of the rulling party even found it difficult to campaign.

Fashola who made the observation during a political rally in Ikorodu area of the state also urged the citizenry to dump the party in the forthcoming elections saying, “their leaking umbrella is incapable of protecting the interests of Nigerians when the need arises.”

While reeling out some of his achievements in the past four years, the Governor also disclosed plans by his administration to expand the Ikorodu Road Expressway to a six-lane as well as construction of Bus Rapid Transit Scheme (BRT) to the axis.
The governor said the Ikorodu–Lagos expressway hitherto plagued by traffic jams would be expanded from four to six lanes. He disclosed, “this would include the BRT lanes to help ease the burden of traffic borne by Ikorodu people.’’
He said the state has delivered on its promises in 2007 to the people of Ikorodu with the construction of about 31 roads, some of which are still ongoing.
He continued:“Our 2011 budget includes the construction of 28 roads in Ikorodu and will all be completed before the end of this administration.

`We are aware of the diversion of cars especially heavy duty vehicles from Lagos-Ibadan expressway to Ikorodu to link with Sagamu expressway as a way of avoiding traffic thus putting pressure on Ikorodu roads.’’
The governor assured the people that if voted for a second term, the first term performance would be a child play compared to what Lagos people would witness.
Victory for the ACN next month, Fashola promised “will translate to more dividends of democracy for the people,” enthusing, “you haven’t seen anything yet.”
As part of measures to ease transportation and limit pressure on the roads, Fashola said the state has added four new jetties to the Ikorodu –Badore/Victoria Island water route.

“The new jetties have a speed of about 17 minutes as against the previous speed of 27 minutes of former jetties” he said, informing that the state has embarked on regional town planning of how Ikorodu would be in the next 25 years.
Fashola, blamed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP led Federal Government for the underdevelopment in the country and urged the people to churn all antics and overtures by PDP in the coming April polls but vote massively against them, “because PDP is a virus that must be thrown out to where they belong.”
Earlier in his speech, the Lagos State Chairman of the ACN, Chief Henry Ajomale urged the people to shun violence in the April polls.
“We should vote and defend our votes but not through violence’’ Ajomale said.

PDP is a virus that must be thrown out to where they belong.

Chei na waooo.

So after all the havoc the pdp has caused over 12 years  most particularly in Edo state, under the Lucky Igbinedion(mallam thick biebie) led administration they still have the enfrontery to campaign. What an insulence.                                                       ;i wonda y those ojuelagba no pour oko wata 4 dem face.[color=#990000][/color]

This is more realistic than providing airports in all states- PDP GEJ

Fashola is a very intelligent man who has all the qualities you want in a leader! He is cool headed, objective and behaves like a real gentleman by putting the interests of Lagosians at heart! This guy could be a future president. . .who knows? Acn all the way!

Fashola all d way.

True except for the 10% Tax payers money remitted to the crooked Tinubu.

Fasho Baba no shaking, we dey your side. If not for any other thing, at least that your brt alone wey i dey enjoy. But just do one thing for me, i'll vote for you 100%. We need Ikotun Road to be repaired and expanded plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Fashola BAba!!! i dey gbadun u, if possible BAba Fash. if u can do something i will be happy, that can make our future president, if u can make Lagos state to generate electricity, this will make the vision of making Lagos a mega city a reality, Fashola all the way, u got my vote anyday anytime, carry go, Eko o ni Baje lailai.

pdp is very useless party

Am a sure supporter of ACN but people we must be careful what we wish unless we will be taken for a ride! ACN must keep performing if she wants people to keep supporting!

Running a territory of 17+ million people on a shoestring budget ($2.5 billion or whatever the amount is), and running it well is impressive.

Kudos, Fashola.

Fashola has done well generally, but his fear of PDP is real. Ikorodu where he spoke, is a PDP area.

Kindly erase ''fear''

Fear of PDP?

In the last election out of 20 LG in Lagos PDP won 2.

Really he has a reason to fear LOL

This is good news. Now PDP can focus on improving Port Harcourt. Lagos is no man's land for PDP.

Sai Ribadu

^^^^^^^^^
Are Ribadu and his side-kick from mali then? ?
nonsense

lol laughing in Swahili

PDP no get mouth for LAG so they must run now.

pdp must be sweeped out with the broom they are not worth to be among people.

Voting for PDP in Lagos state is like voting for calamity like tsunami
If PDP wins in Lagos, Lagos go spoil oooo
They have nothing good to offer than greedy leaders, unemployment, poverty, low standard of living, darkness, injustice, insecurity, inadequate health care, poor education system, looting of national treasure etc.
As far as Lagos is concerned, PDP can never win, if they like, let them go and rig it in hell, they wont win still.

this country is funny,lagos should be changed to tinubu state,tinubu's wife wants to be a senator,his inlaw wants to go to the house of rep,he bought laspotech property in ikosi and made it TV continental,bought another Lagos property in alausa and turned it to a hotel,started hi-tech construction company given the lekki construction for 50 billion naira for 48 kilometer of road, change the name of lagos state to TINUBU STATE abi

^^ Which side are you on??

PDP cannot be underestimted. If Fashola does not perform well in his second term, a PDP candidate might just steal Lagos away from ACN.

easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle

despite all the noise about acn and fashola, i still believe there are no differences between pdp and acn. one is just playing the underdog card,
