At a forum of Local Government Area chairmen under the aegis
of Goodluck Lagos Grassroots Project in Lagos on Monday, the Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West, Chief Makanjuola Ogundipe, says Lagosians
have praised Fashola too much for the little things he has done. He said
Fashola only did a little for Lagos State compared to what his counterpart,
Goodwill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State has done.
“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 also admitted President Jonathan has done very
little for the people of Southwest and blames them for it, for refusing to
contribute to the government of Jonathan.
“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.
