The Governor of Lagos State, Gov. Raji Fashola and APC’s Lagos State Governorship aspirant, Akinwunmi Ambode have urged Lagosians to ignore president Jonathan’s visits to Lagos, terming it, one too many. While speaking at a rally in the Ifako/Ijaye Local Government area, Fashola urged Lagosians not to give the president a listen ear, because he was never there when they needed him. Hear him;
“They have said the President is coming to Lagos. He is welcome to come; Lagos is part of his constituency but we will not vote for him because when we needed him, he did not come to help us. When the international airport road was damaged and he promised to fix it, did you see him?
“When Ebola hit Lagos, did he come? When Kuramo Beach was overflowing and it was going to wipe out the entire Goshen Beach Estate, did you see the President? When I took him to Ibeju-Lekki, where people were losing their lands, we flew in a helicopter to the place but after that, the President never returned. I wrote letters and appealed but no response.
“We have been using your taxes to protect those communities. So, you have been on your own, with your own party and government. So, he can come 200 times but will you vote for him? The only time the President works is a few weeks to elections. When there was security problem in Lagos, who was buying guns and patrol vehicles for the police? Was it not us?”
While Ambode asked his supporters to collect any money offered, but distance themselves from voting for him or PDP.
“When they offer you dollars, collect it, it is our money. But vote for us,” he said.
