Lagos State Governor,
Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan had
spent five days in the state, holding meetings with different people and doling
out monies in hard currencies them.
Consequently, the
governor described the president’s alleged outreach to different groups
including traditional rulers, cooperative societies and market women among
others as an act of desperation.
Fashola, who spoke
after inspecting some ongoing projects in Ibeju-Lekki and on Lagos Island yesterday,
expressed disappointment at some statements credited to the president at
meetings with the interest groups at the State House, Marina.
He said: “I want to
assume that he did not make a statement that he would deliver Lagos residents
from bondage. The question to ask Mr. President is whether he had come to free
them from bondage.
“He was here for five
days meeting with different people and groups, distributing money in dollars.
It is an un-presidential statement made in an act of desperation. That means he
lived in bondage in five days if he had come into the state to free people.
“If he can live here
for five days moving with patrol vehicles that we paid for, let him go and
spend five days in Chibok and he will know what bondage is,” the governor said while
reacting to statements credited to the president.
While inspecting a new
cemetery in Ibeju-Lekki, the governor openly disclosed that he bought his own
vault where his remains would be buried when he joined his ancestors more than
four years ago.
