Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, again on Wednesday, lashed at the Federal Government, saying it has no clue on how to address the many challenges confronting the nation.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of the Cooperative Home Ownership Incentive Scheme (CHOIS City) at Agbowa, Ikosi-Ejirin Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Ikorodu and the first solar-powered Primary Health Care Centre, Epe.
According to Fashola, all the Federal Government has told citizens and foreign investors about the country, especially on insecurity and rebasing of the country’s economy were false claims.
The governor said: “First, they were ignorant and later they lied to Nigerians. This indicates that they don’t know what to do on the challenges confronting this country especially on insecurity.
“On insecurity facing the country, first they (Federal Government) lied that their political opponents were the cause. Later, they lied that it was people in their government. After that, they told Nigerians that those behind the insecurity in Nigeria were foreigners.
“Again, in their usual tactics, they came out to say that some saboteurs were behind the insecurity in the country.”
Fashola further said the cluelessness of the current administration showed again in the remark made by Vice President Namadi Sambo on Lagos state. “The Vice President, Namadi Sambo, made wrong and ignorant statement in Lagos. He said people were leaving Lagos due to high tax regime.
“I don’t think he (Sambo) moved around the state to see how the population of Lagos was increasing daily. Also, they said we were selling property to residents of Lagos at over N100 million. They are ignorant. And they have shown it publicly.”
