How Has GEJ & Sambo's PhD Certificates Helped Nigeria? - Fashola

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state yesterday, hit back at those mocking Buhari's educational qualifications by stressing that President Goodluck Jonathan and his VP, Namadi Sambo's high academic qualification have not reflected in the policies they introduced since assuming office.

Fashola, who made the statement at APC rally held in Ikorodu, lamented that the country has failed to progress despite their high academic qualification. 

“We prayed that if we have someone who has degree, he will be able to develop the country. And when the current president, a Ph.D holder, assumed office, we rejoiced that the country will improve. Rather than implement policies that would improve the standard of living of the citizens, we were having regression,”he said. “Also, his Vice-President is an architect but he cannot construct roads. But it is sad that a lawyer is the Commissioner for Works in Edo State and he has constructed several roads. In Ogun State, the Commissioner for Works is an architect and he has built several roads."

“So, let’s ask Sambo, the Vice President what has he done for the nation since he assumed office. All he (Sambo) could do was to inform the President that people are leaving Lagos because of tax regime. And I want everyone to ask the Vice President if the number of vehicles coming into Lagos has reduced.”
