The Presidency has reacted to the governor of Lagos state,
Babatunde Fashola’s critique of President Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, August 14, the Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said
Fashola’s judgement must have been clouded because he was too occupied
in Lagos to appreciate lofty developments by Jonathan’s administration
all over the country.
Describing Fashola’s statement as “blatant and obvious lies,
deliberate and skillful misinformation,” Okupe said the Jonathan’s
government has never lied about its its achievements, programmes,
commitments and even challenges within the Nigerian context, The Nation
reports.
Okuoe said: “In the last three years, through the execution of
its transformation agenda, this administration, contrary to the
assertions of Governor Fashola, has made significant achievements in all
sectors of the economy.
“We do not disparage any of our great erstwhile leaders, but what we
say is that President Jonathan operating on the solid building blocks
erected by them has carried developments in Nigeria to global acclaim.”
During a lecture at the 50th birthday celebration of former Governor Timipre Sylva, Governor Fashola had berated President Goodluck Jonathan and the People’s democratic party, saying their performance was poor and the condition of Nigerians was worse than when Jonathan assumed power four years ago
