The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-west, Makanjuola Ogundipe, is confident that President Goodluck Jonathan will win 75 per cent of the votes in Lagos state.
“With a voting population of six million and counting, we have assured Mr. President that he will get 5.9 million votes in Lagos,” he told PDP leaders in the zone at the event themed, ‘Transformation Agenda: Continuity for National Progress’.
Speaking further, he said Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has not done enough to merit the praise he receives from residents of the state.
“No one should say Fashola is doing well in Lagos.
Go to Akwa Ibom and see what the governor is doing there. Look at the stadium in Akwa Ibom.
How many stadiums has Fashola built? There are bad roads all over the state with heavy traffic every day.
“Instead of Fashola to fix the roads, he was busy repairing Federal Government roads and sending inflated bills to the Federal Government as the cost of repair.”
Ogundipe however admitted that President Goodluck Jonathan had not been able to do much for the people of the South-west but said it was because Yorubas were not contributing to the success of Jonathan.
He said, “If you take a look at the current structure of the Federal Government, you will see that the South-west has been shortchanged.
The reason is clear; we did not contribute to the success of the President.
We are not even in key positions at the National Assembly and we find it hard to get highly placed positions.
“We must ensure that we vote for the PDP in all positions so that we can have a National Assembly that will make life easy for the president.”
