Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state yesterday blamed the PDP-led federal government for the poor state of the country’s security and electricity, saying; “Before they assumed office in 1999, there was no bombing in Nigeria and there was no kidnapping.”
The Governor also said the ongoing Egyptian crisis would be a window of economic opportunity for Nigeria if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP- led Federal Government can implement the right policy and exhibit the right attitude towards it.
Governor Fashola made this known while commissioning series of projects embarked upon by the state government held at Eti-Osa Local Government Area of the state.
The projects commissioned include two blocks of 12 classrooms  each for both junior and secondary schools in Gbara Grammar school. A block  of 13 classrooms  was also commissioned at Olomu community school. A mini-water works scheme was  commissioned at Badore, Ajah .
Fashola said: “They have made security and electricity worse in Nigeria. This is the time to kick out PDP at every level of government in Nigeria.”
According to him: “I am leading that crusade. PDP has failed. PDP does not deserve to stay in government longer than one minute.
The Governor said, “We are tired of living with a diet of broken promises. When there is crisis in your neighbourhood, who do you see? My phone number has remained in the public domain.
“Tell the other parties to stop remaining anonymous. Let them tell you how you can reach them.”
On the Egyptian conflict Fashola said “The conflict in Egypt is causing that country at least one million tourist.”
The governor added: “Riot, strikes and civil disturbance will only slow down the pace of development in any country.”
He said “We must open our doors to embrace those tourists. When tourists come, there will be more money in circulation, new businesses will spring up and novel opportunity will surface.
“This is a golden opportunity for us because tourism is in this axis. Lagos is the centre for domestic solution for Nigeria’s problem,” Fashola added.
According to him “Lagos State government is ready and thinking ahead, because anywhere there is crisis, there is an opportunity. Lagos is the centre for domestic solution for Nigeria problem.
“The crisis in Egypt today is an economic opportunity for Nigeria. Let us do the right thing: right policy, attitude. Let us work together to make Nigeria and especially Lagos state great.”

lol hes right but i like his older more relaxed image

hes beginning to talk to much

the bombings are 100% political, all this 'boko haram' talk is an illusion, im sure the group exists, but its sponsors and leaders should be examined for ties to the political elite. They just recently started making demands against specific politicians in northern states


and its a fact that politicians fund MEND.

Let him talk o! He is the face of the franchise. And hopefully positioning for 2015.

Anyway, dude is the most popular politician in Nigeria, so has the political capital to say this.

For political relevance and that is why GEJ is there today, the SW and Northern politicians also have their agbero and almajiri respectively.

PDP's zoning agreement has NOTHING to do with the country. Any party can decide for or against zoning at their own peril.

Did Someone hijack your Account or something? Only days ago, you were still speaking of how people ought not to criticize the president. Yet, here you are speaking against him--supporting a governor criticizing him??

I think that is what Nigerians want . Then, no one should speak about development. I mean even MEND have not stopped their militancy although GEJ is our president.

MEND can now blame their own guy lol

Its all GEJ's fault!
