According to Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fasshola, the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has failed Nigerians and so, he does not deserve a second term.
Fashola made this observation in Lagos at the opening ceremony of Women in Business Conference on Monday.
Fashola said since Jonathan assumed office, the nation's power supply has worsened while unemployment is on the rise. He said it is unfortunate that Nigeria, a major oil exporter, still depends on importation.
"Where the North East is under siege and the economy has continued to nosedive, the transformation ambassadors have continued to distort the true information that all is well. All it takes to cripple our economy by those countries from where we buy oil is to say they won't sell to us any longer."
"We have seen a good example where the country was denied access from buying arms. This is the situation we are in as regards importation of oil. In 2010 alone, we spent N2.5 trillion importing fuel into the country. Now, we have less money to import. If we can't pay for oil importation, we all know it's implication for the country. In no distant future, the fuel queues will return."
"The government has yet to give us power as promised, they have yet to give us fuel, we have yet to see the standard highways they promised. They are so many Nigerians living without electricity." He said
