The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has blamed the Peoples Democratic Party for the challenges confronting the country, especially as regards the insecurity of lives and property of Nigerians.
He also said that an alternative to the All Progressives Congress government in Lagos State in next year’s election was tantamount to experimenting with the life and future of its residents.
In a statement obtained by Saturday PUNCH through the governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Hakeem Bello, Fashola stated that a change of leadership at the national level was expedient, while blaming the PDP for failing to provide the security of lives and property of citizens.
While throwing a jab at the PDP-led central government, he said, “Please ask them why smaller economies could get petrol easily for their people and why we have to queue for hours and days to get petrol in a biggest economy in Africa.
“When people come and say that there is no power, they only speak of their inefficiency and incapacity to deliver power. Electricity, as an invention, is over 100 years old; so there is no excuse for Nigerians to continue to live in darkness.”
Fashola also advised that Nigerians cast their votes wisely in the upcoming general elections at the national and Lagos State levels.
He said, “Lagosians have the responsibility to keep the change that has been achieved so far.You will do so with your votes; that is your power. Please ensure that you go and collect your voter’s card in order to protect what you have built in Lagos.
