Did i just read this man say Goodluck Jonathan abandoned the South West because they did not support him?
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.
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.”
But how many people are there in Akwa Ibom?What is the population? There is 10 times the amount of work to be done in Lagos State and the people still see it fit to praise Fashola ,so he must be doing a good job.
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.
