The Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Jumoke Akinjide, says the people of Lagos State should blame the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) for the heavy traffic motorists face every day.

She said when Buhari was the Head of State between December 1983 and August 1985, he terminated the Lagos Metroline project initiated by the Alhaji Lateef Jakande administration to ease traffic in the metropolis.

Akinjide said this in a statement on Monday.

She said by so doing, Buhari truncated the opportunity of a free-flow of traffic within the metropolis and by extension, the economic growth of the South-West.

She said the countries that were nowhere near the growth attained by the South-West when the APC presidential candidate stopped Metroline project had since advanced to become world economic powers.

She said the Lagos metro rail line was designed by the Jakande government to facilitate transport within Lagos and its surroundings but was terminated when Buhari military regime took over.

She said, “The visionary Jakande administration had concluded all the plans to finance the project, putting everything in place for its successful execution. My father provided the legal frame work in his capacity as the Attorney General at the time, and the state government had deposited $50m after securing a $450m loan at six per cent fixed interest rate for 25 years.”

Your father (Attorney general)  you now, daughter (minister of state) is it clear now that Nigeria is governed by one set of people, one mentality. It was Buhari before,  it is Buhari now, it was Jonathan before it is Jonathan now, Obasanjo before, again and now confussionist. 9ja which way forward, when it is always them?

People keep calling Buhari a poor man, a man that's making 2 million naira a month without stealing oil money. As a matter of facts, that's the kind of man that we need, someone that already know poverty will understand the suffering of the masses.
