Governor Fashola Berates Jonathan’s Campaign Group; says President doesn’t deserve Re-election
Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola has said President Goodluck is not worth being re-elected as he has done nothing in his first term to deserve it.
Fashola, who was speaking at the opening ceremony of Women In Business Conference in Lagos, lashed out at the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, which is the campaign group of the president, saying their claims of transformation are false as the president did no such thing for the country.
“Where the North East is under siege and the economy has continued to nosedive, the transformation ambassadors have continued to distort the true information that all is well. All it takes to cripple our economy by those countries from where we buy oil is to say they won’t sell to us any longer.
“We have seen a good example where the country was denied access from buying arms. This is the situation we are in as regards importation of oil. In 2010 alone, we spent N2.5trillion importing fuel into this country. Now, we have less money to import. If we can’t pay for our oil importation, we all know its implication for the country. In not too distant a future, the fuel queues will return.
“The government has yet to give us power as promised, they have yet to give us fuel, we have yet to see the standard highways they promised. There are so many Nigerians living without electricity.
“Within their transformation period, thousands of people in the North East have been killed, thousands turned refugee in their father land, over 200 girls are still in captivity of insurgents and the North East is still under siege. With all these, the transformation ambassadors are telling Nigerians that all is well.”
He also talked about the presidency’s failed promise in 2011 to generate 16,000 megawatts by 2013.
