| Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola |
Fashola, who said this during the All
Progressives Congress campaign rally in the Epe area of the state, added
that corruption and diversion of public funds had retarded the nation’s
economic growth and transformation.

He said, “Rather than develop strategies
that would improve the economy, the current administration inflicted
pains on the citizens.
“The
Burj Khalifa building in Dubai was built with $1.5bn to arrest the
attention of the world. This administration has lost $20bn. The money
lost by the current administration could be used to build 10 of the
structure.
“We are the only oil producing country that is importing oil products. They spent over N2tn to import petrol.”
The party’s governorship candidate,
Akinwunmi Ambode, promised to create a new city in Epe town by
completing an airport project initiated by Fashola.
Noting that electricity had been the
major problem of the area, Ambode promised to tackle it holistically to
enhance the economic prosperity of residents and also re-ignite the
social lives of the people.
Meanwhile, the lawmaker representing the
Lagos East Senatorial District, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, has said the APC
candidates for the legislative seats in both state and national levels
will consolidate on the gains made presently if elected.
Ashafa, who was also in the Epe rally, added that the candidates contesting for legislative seats in the state were the best.
He said if all the APC candidates were
elected, it would be possible for the party governorship candidate to
complete Fashola’s projects and initiate new ones.
Also present were a former Speaker of the
Lagos Assembly, Jokotola Pelumi, members of the Akinwunmi Ambode
Kommittee of Friends and other government officials.
