Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has responded to allegations by President Goodluck Jonathan that Lagosians
are under the bondage of the All Progressive Congress, APC, which can
only be broken by the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
the forthcoming governorship elections.
Fashola, on Sunday, said to a gathering in Lekki that “Lagos is not in bondage,” Daily Times Nigeria reports.
Fashola, at the gathering, described the comments of the president as an act of desperation. According to him “It is an un-presidential statement made in an act of desperation.
According to him, “the question to ask him (Jonathan) is that if he had come to free residents of Lagos from bondage and he lived here for five days meeting with people and distributing money in dollars. That means he lived in bondage in five days while trying 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.”
It will be recalled, that President Jonathan stated this during a meeting with leaders of market women groups, “Iyalojas”, in Lagos. It will also be recalled that PDP governorship candidate in the state, Jimi Agbaje, said Fashola is making Lagosians suffers by withholding salaries of health workers.
