Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Tuesday, faulted a statement credited to President Goodluck Jonathan, in which the latter said the present leader and his generation has failed Nigerians.
Fashola who is of the same age cadre with the president said, “You (Jonathan) failed Nigeria because my generation did not fail this country.”
While the President Jonathan made the statement last Thursday while addressing youth at the flag-off of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP campaign held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS Lagos, Fashola discredited the GEJ’s opinion at the 2015, First Quarter of the Town Hall meeting with stakeholders in the transportation sector held in Agidingbi, Ikeja.
Fashola said; “He (Jonathan) said his generation has failed, he should account for himself because I refuse to join the generation the President was referring to.
According to him, “He is in his 50s, I am also in my 50s, and we appear to be, because I don’t even want to join that generation because my own generation has not failed, I have done well on my job and I am proud to say so. If he has failed, let him account for himself, he should not join us”.
Fashola described the present administration as “A failed government that has lost total focus.
