No reason to trust PDP - Fashola


The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, on Tuesday said the Peoples Democratic Party and President Goodluck Jonathan had failed to deliver on promises made to Nigerians and as such, there was no reason to trust them.

Fashola, who spoke during the All Progressives Congress campaign rally in the Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area, held at the Ejigbo playing ground, added that the President was worsening issues by bringing out false claims as his achievements.



He said, “President Goodluck Jonathan said he constructed 25,000 kilometres roads in the country. Now, the distance from Lagos to London is just over 5,000km. What the claim by the President means is that they have constructed a road from Lagos to London five times. But the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that is 404km and has not been done. So where did they see the 25,000km roads?

“On electricity, we pay 75 per cent more than we should pay for power through self generation of electricity. Contrary to their claim, the President and the PDP can’t give electricity.”

The APC governorship candidate for the state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, however, assured residents of the state of an improved security if elected into office.

Ambode, who spoke to a mammoth crowd that included the youth, members of the Akinwunmi Ambode Kommittee of Friends, the state party Chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, and a former member of the state House of Assembly, AbdulLateef AbdulHakeem, said he planned to install Close Circuit Television cameras on major roads to tackle criminal acts headlong in the state.

He said, “Our great promise is the prosperity of Lagos and nobody will be left out. I will install CCTV cameras on all the roads in Lagos in order to reduce crime rate. Efforts will be intensified in the area of traffic management on the inner roads, while additional fleets of buses will be provided to augment the existing BRT buses.

“We will create employment for our youths through tourism, entertainment and sports. We have brought good news to you, we are on Ejigbo playing ground and the good news is that we will turn it to a stadium for you.”

A chieftain of the party, Chief Surakatu Lawal, advised the Federal Government to be sincere in handling the security challenge, which the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, adduced for the postponement of the elections.

Lawal urged the APC supporters to be strong in their resolve to vote out the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.
