Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Wednesday expressed surprise at recent outburst against the State Government by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led Federal Government, declaring that if the Government at the center is worried about the transformation going on in the State, it should take it as a wakeup call to rise to the challenges facing the country.

He said: “If it gives them sleepless nights and makes them uncomfortable, I make no apologies for that. That is why I am in Government to succeed and to improve the quality of life of the people as best as I can”.

Governor Fashola who spoke in an interview with Aviation Correspondents at the Presidential Lounge of the local wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja on his return from a trip to Abuja added “Look, this is party that has spent 12 years trying to provide electricity. We have provided three major electricity plants, the next major one would be finished in the next few weeks. Clearly therefore they are deficient in planning and in implementation”.

Continuing, Governor Fashola declared: “They spent 10 years in building a 400metres Bridge in Ota and on the day of commissioning, instead of apologizing to Lagosians, they were fighting themselves about who would cut the tape. Meanwhile, the road that leads to the Bridge is not finished”.

Governor Fashola said the State Government constructed the Okota Link Bridge which is longer than the Sango Otta Bridge in 18 months, saying those are issues he expects the PDP to come forward and talk about.

“Look at the Apapa/Oshodi-Oworonshoki Expressway which is their road. It is pothole ridden. The road to the biggest Airport in the country is a national embarrassment. We have cleared Oshodi, asking them to finish their road, so that Nigerians can even begin to change our image to foreigners who come here. These are the issues we expect them to come and address our voters about. We are waiting for them”, Governor Fashola pointed out.

The Governor Fashola also reacted to a statement credited to President Goodluck Jonathan in which he described Action Congress of Nigeria Governors in the South West as rascals, saying the language is un-Presidential.

I GBADUN THIS GUY!!! He said the absolute truth!
