Lagos residents will not vote for GEJ – Fasholaon february 27, 2015 at 9:50 am in news

By Olasunkanmi Akoni and Monsur Olowoopejo
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan, since assumption of office in 2011, never responded to the needs of Lagos residents, saying, “at our time of needs, he did not respond to our pleas.”

Meantime, the Independent national Electoral Commission, INEC, will today commence distribution of Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC in the polling units across the state.

Fashola spoke at the All Progressives Congress, APC Campaign rally at the Ifako-Ijaiye Mini-stadium, Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area, which also had in attendance the party Governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode among other dignitaries.

The governor noted that the president remembered residents of Lagos few weeks ago when he visited the state and spent five days holding meetings and distributing different hard currencies to people.

According to him, “For four years, the President didn’t respond to the needs of residents of Lagos. This is not about where he comes from but it is about the quality of job that he had done for the residents of Lagos. The only time the President started working was few weeks to election.

“The president can come to Lagos because it is part of his constituency. “But we will not vote for him in the forthcoming election. This was because when we needed him, he didn’t come to our rescue.

“When the Muhammed Mohammed International Airport, MMIA Road failed, we didn’t see him. When Lagos Island began to experience flood and the flood was about to wipe out a whole estate, he didn’t come to Lagos. When I took him to Ibeju-Lekki where they were losing their lands, that day was the last I heard from the President. I wrote several letters to appeal to the President but he didn’t respond.
“All the infrastructure in Lagos were built by taxes paid by Lagos residents. He can come to Lagos 200 times, we will not vote for him.”

Fashola, however, appealed to residents to obtain their PVCs, saying no fewer than 1.4m were still uncollected.
He stressed that, “the PVC is very strategic if the people must have a say in the coming elections.”

Fashola said that another window of opportunity would open today (Friday, February 27) for residents without the PVCs to pick up their PVCs.

“INEC has returned the cards distribution to polling units. The collection exercise will run from today (Friday) till Sunday.”Fsashola said.

However, Ambode, in his address urged the electorate not to sell their PVCs, saying “We have heard that dollars are being distributed in exchange for PVC. I will say collect it, it is your money but don’t give them your cards. They are giving you dollars because they have destroyed Naira.

“They are now asking for another four years to further destroy the country, we are saying no to them. We are for change at the centre and continuity in Lagos.

“Our youths are not lazy but just lack opportunity to excel. That is what we are bringing to the state by continuity. We want progress, we want safe Nigeria, for the economy to get better.

We will work together and make Lagos work for all of us to be more prosperous. That is what APC represents. Those of you without PVC should go and get it, but never sell it,” Ambode urged residents again.

We can see its mostly aggrieved ungrateful guests that Lagos saved from the suffering, poverty, hopelessness and ineptitude of their home governors that are lamenting there.

Without Lagos they might have been used for nkwobi by their own people. Today another thousand of them would be seen fleeing the despair in their own home state

Go back to your state and vote Jonathan but as for Lagos, The governor has spoken.

Bi ewure be binu to fi ese ha ile, Se o fe bu olowo re je ni?

If a goat gets angry and scratches its foot on the floor, Can it bite its owner?

If all these guests get angry and rake till next year, what can they do about it? Other than to vote between two indigenous Lagosians Agbaje or Ambode?

No be by nairaland noise. Ambode is too playful to understand the requirement of leadership.

He has had this ambition even during Fashola's first tenure. I know him and his house in glover road. Deranged man who helped Tinubu loot Lagos along side his colleagues in kpmg.
Because people no dey talk no mean say we no get ear for ground.

Just as an African can be a guest in another part of Africa, A Nigerian can be a guest in another part of Nigeria, A Lagosian or Imolite can be a guest in another part of Lagos/Imo, Even in the same local govt you can be a guest in a different part of the Local govt

Its basic common sense, beyond most TANoids

PDP is distributing handbills in Ikeja since afternoon as an aftermath of the meeting in Ibadan. If I may ask, why wasting money? This is the 3rd time this meeting would be held. The same meeting took place in Akure few days ago and now in Ibadan with the same output of supporting Jonathan. This same meeting had taken place in Ife, Akure and Ibadan. The last two was sponsored by Mimiko who first came to power through an assistance from Tinubu.

Holding this meeting 1oo times can not change the resolution of people. The only achievement of these meetings is the bringing together of Gani Adams and Fasehun who are arch enemies and never agreed on any issue but now on the same table supporting Jonathan. Money is good o. Gani - Fasehun - Money answereth all things.

These groups are operating under many parties - UPN, SDP, AD and Labour party. The purpose of these parties is to destablise APC in South West for PDP to dominate helplessly, but, now, it appears all the efforts of these parties are of no effect. Now, the men behind the masquerades have come out to fight clean and dirty. They are fighting the battles of their life time.

Coming to the handbills being distributed where they displayed the pictures of former governors in south west jailed by buhari and the assault on Awo by buhari. They forgot to put the pictures of other governors in the North that are also jailed by the same regime.

Umaru Dikko is from Katsina just like buhari, Umaru dikko narrowly escaped being extradited to Nigeria in container. Nobody comes to equity without a clean hand. In a regime, the character of equality, equity and transparency are the hallmark of a leader. If Umaru Dikko, a Katsina person can be declared wanted at all cost without any tribal bias, then the decision of the military government as at that time is pure on the coup policy. It is a fair level judgement on all politician as at that time.

Now, coming back to the sacking of variuos yorubas from positions of authority and neglect of the region by GEJ in his six years. No major FG project was commissioned. The Ore - benin and Ibadan - Lagos expressway that was starved of fund only to hurriedly arrange for loans through infrastructure bank to increase job tempo on Lagos - Ibadan job for political campaign. Infrastructure bank has the largest counterpart funding in the project which is a PPP which means their money will be recovered back through toll gate or other means.

The Yoruba leaders should have deliberated on the death of Sunday Afolabi, the disgrace of Tafa balogun, humiliation of Bola Osomo (Obj era), Prof Mrs Adenike Grange (Yaradua). Sacking of Bola Onagoruwa, Harold Demuren and NCAA DG that replaced demuren, the removal and frustration of various yorubas from various positions too numerous to mention here under GEJ. The intimidation and harrassment to submission given to FFK by EFCC while Stella Oduah and others corrupt official moves freely is a sin against humanity. Arunmah Oteh survived her tenure but bola onagoruwa was removed for committing no sin. He should mention one major FG project commission in this region.

All the major positions in Finance, petroleum, energy and other places where money can be siphoned are no go area to Yorubas. They just exist under Jonathan. They want him to sign a pact with them. No way. No pact.

Lagosians are divided on this issue -- He can't speak for Lagosians solely because he is the governor.

The ethnocentric Lagosians will vote Buhari not because they think Buhari will do any better but because they think GEJ is the reason for their frustration and voting against him will automatically erode the frustration.

An equal chunk will vote GEJ not because they think GEJ has "taken them to the moon" but because of the lack of a better alternative and I believe I relate with this line of reasoning than the former

Keep quiet my friend Igbos are guests in Lagos. Were they represented at the last National Conference.........NO! Ask yourself why.

I was in Awka a short while ago........God punish anyone who says I was at home there just because I am a Nigerian. I was a guest there in all ramifications, same when I went to Kano. Why are these Nigerians not trooping to Sambisa forest?

Igbo and Hausas and other non-Yorubas are guests. That is well understood by everyone except the ................You guessed! (Bloody Igb*s)
