Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, is unhappy about the speech that President Goodluck Jonathan gave at the PDP 2015 flag-off campaign in Lagos.
Speaking on Thursday during the Edo Town Hall meeting, Fashola is said to have stated that the president was unable to illustrate any accomplishments he had made in his last six years or reforms he hoped to implement if re-elected.
Here are excerpts from Fashola’s remarks, as reported by Premium Times:
Quote
“Today, you have listened to a vice presidential candidate telling you in 29 minutes many things you will never hear at a rally because the time for such discussions doesn’t exist for many Nigerian want to interrogate people making empty promises, the governor said.
But we chose to be different because we are bustling with ideas. We know ideas can change things. He (Osinbajo) has spoken to you for 29 minutes. He has been on this assignment for only three weeks and he has discussed power with you, he has discussed employment with you, he has discussed agriculture with you, he has discussed welfare scheme, health care, youth development with you without reading any speech. He has been there for three weeks only and he has not been yet elected.
Now what is on the other side (PDP), because I spent about an hour listening to the president in my state? For almost the same period I saw a very angry president. I saw a president who is lamenting about people judging his performance and blaming all those who ruled before him, forgetting that he has been on this job for six years.
And he kept saying ‘they say we don’t have a plan’ and for almost 45 minutes he did not reveal a plan on security, he did not reveal a plan on corruption. I listened to him. Now after six years without being able to articulate what he has done and what he will do but blaming everybody and forgetting that he is the Commander-in-Chief. If the kitchen is becoming too hot as it’s becoming obvious he must get out of it.”
…this election is going to be about job approval. It is not about where you come from; it is not about how young he is; it is job approval after six years. Are you happy with your situation?
So if after six years he has not been able to explain to you what he is doing with your time, with your resource – 52 % revenue formula, do you want to continue another four years?”

JONATHAN: The Only Nigeria President
Without Accurate ANSWERS!
Ask Jonathan about Power failure, he would
say Nigerians are not patient enough.
Ask Jonathan about stolen crude oil, he would
say the pirates
are invisible.
Ask Jonathan about the missing $20 Billion,
he would say maybe
Sanusi made mistake.
Ask Jonathan about Nigeria unemployment
rate, he would say
Nigeria youths should be blamed.
Ask Jonathan about SureP mismanagement, he
would say State governments are
economical with the truth.
Ask Jonathan about #117 Billion 2nd Niger
Bridge, he would say the opposition are noise
makers.
Ask Jonathan about Chibok Girls, he would
say their whereabout is unknown.
Ask Jonathan about those behind insurgency,
he would tell you to ask the opposition
party.
Now ask him about 2015 election, he would
say he is the best candidate that has answers
to Nigeria problems.
Where is the best in Clueless Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan? He
is a man of flippancy character. Say No to
Jonathan, vote him out of Aso Rock.
