The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West, Chief Makanjuola Ogundipe, says Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has not done too well to merit the praise he receives from residents of the state.
He said Fashola had not performed as well as his Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Mr. Godswill Akpabio.
Ogundipe said this at a forum of Local Government Area chairmen under the aegis of Goodluck Lagos Grassroots Project in Lagos on Monday.
He spoke alongside PDP leaders in the zone at the event themed, ‘Transformation Agenda: Continuity for National Progress’.
He said, “No one should say Fashola is doing well in Lagos. Go to Akwa Ibom and see what the governor is doing there. Look at the stadium in Akwa Ibom. How many stadiums has Fashola built? There are bad roads all over the state with heavy traffic every day.
“Instead of Fashola to fix the roads, he was busy repairing Federal Government roads and sending inflated bills to the Federal Government as the cost of repair.”
Ogundipe admitted that President Goodluck Jonathan had not been able to do much for the people of the South-West but said it was because Yorubas were not contributing to the success of Jonathan.
He, therefore, called on the people of the South-West especially Lagos, to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party won most of the elective positions including federal legislative seats so that Yorubas would be able to get juicy positions.
He said, “If you take a look at the current structure of the Federal Government, you will see that the South-West has been shortchanged. The reason is clear; we did not contribute to the success of the President. We are not even in key positions at the National Assembly and we find it hard to get highly placed positions.
“We must ensure that we vote for the PDP in all positions so that we can have a National Assembly that will make life easy for the President.”
He said the political career of a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, would come to an end next year after his party, the All Progressives Congress, would have lost the Lagos and the presidential elections.
Also speaking, the chairman of the state chapter of the PDP, Captain Tunji Shelle (retd.), said Jonathan would get 99 per cent of the votes in Lagos State.
“With a voting population of six million and counting, we have assured Mr. President that he will get 5.9 million votes in Lagos,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Mr OGUNDIPE no mind the OLODO LAWYER. He could not muster support for his own candidate in APC PRIMARIES throughout LAGOS state. How can a man RULE for 8years yet he has no LOYALFOLLOWERS?
ReplyDeleteIn other states serving governors were in CONTROL of their but, this BRF still reminds the FOOTSTOOL of one OLD CROCODILE! This shows that all polices of his government were all POLICES of TINUBU.Now I see why FASHOLA with all his knowlede of the LAW could not stop TOUTS from TERRORISING LOGOSIAN. The GARAGE TOUT, MOTOR WAY TOUTS called LASTMA/KAI, OMO ONILEs, OJORAs, OMO LOJAs, IYA LOJAs and the BABA LOJAs. DOUBLE TAXATION, LCC TOLL FARES and many many more anti IGBOs POLICIES.
BRF, its a SHAME U did not GOVERN LAGOS, rather BAT used U as his FRONT MAN to RULE LAGOS for another 8yrs.
BRF U be M......
El Matosky, for a while now I have been closely monitoring your comments in this forum and I must say congratulations!!! You have successfully won the crown of biggest moron in this forum. Not one of your numerous bland, senseless and ignorant comments has any positive contribution to this forum and Nigeria at large. For me it's hard to distinguish who is dumber btw you and Doyin Okupe.. You seem like his protège. It would be sickening to share a conversation with you
DeleteThis is a blatant lie. You have lied. Fashola has done very well. You ought to have directed this your nonsensical thoughts to Mr. Good luck Ebele Jonathan so that he would have a great rethink, you are here speaking bad of a performer. Please be guided accordingly.
ReplyDeleteI'm not holding brief for anybody.But in all ramifications, the lagos administration being led by Fash ola is far better than the federal government administration led by GEJ.
ReplyDeleteFashola is our Man, i am even nominating him president of Nigeria, he doesn't need any election please. This Matosky must be an anti Christ sadist, never likes anything good and he's full of filth, always abusive, i wonder why NE keeps publishing him.
ReplyDeleteTAKE NOT mAKANJUOLA AND HIS SINKING pdp SERIOUS.
ReplyDeleteJUST AS STARS CANNOT DIM IN DARKNESS, SO WOULD HIS FALSEHOOD ON FASOLA NOT FLY IN THE FACE OF COMMON SENSE. EVEN A SADIST IN NIGERIA ATTESTS TO THE FACT THAT FASOLA IS THE BEST PERFORMING GOVERNOR IN THE NIGERIAN HISTORY; NOT EVEN AKPABIO CAN MATCH HIM.
IMAGINE THE DESPERATE pdp hanger-on ASKING WHERE FASOLA'S STADIUM IS - THIS SHOWS HE HAS LOST TOUCH WITH THE "REALITY OF PRIORY OF NATIONS".
SURELY, mAKANJUOLA MUST BE AN OLD MAN WITH FAINT MEMORY; SO BLAME hIM NOT MUCH.
FELLOW NIGERIANS, REACT MOST APPROPRIATELY BY VOTING pdp AND ITS fEEDING-bOTTLE GOVERNMENT TO THE DUSTBIN OF POLITICAL HISTORY IN NIGERIA COME TWENTY-FIFTEEN.
"YOUR WORDS SHOULD BE YOUR BOND AND YOUR VOTE YOUR POWER" TO BRING ABOUT THE IMMINENT CHANGE YOU AND I NEED.
THE DECIDING DATE IS TWENTY-FIFTEEN; DO NOT BE LEFT BEHIND.
All the PDP want is to here the people mine, To know how to tackle and rig the election come's 2015. My advice, Stop commenting on any issue that come's from them. Even though I knew they can't frustrate us all. Fashiola ,you are our president 2019.
ReplyDeleteAll I know APC cannot win Lagos State again for sure
ReplyDeleteThe pro TAN can't be taken too seriously as they lack objectivity in thinking, utterances and governance. How can they possibly know performance when they see one.
