Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said the only way the country can have stable
electricity power is to vote out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from
power in the forthcoming 2015 general elections.
Fashola, who gave the counsel while marking 2,600 days in
office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof on the Lagos Television
premises, said electricity power crisis in the country is caused by lack of
ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
He said: “Yes I agree with you that it is possible to
generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has
electricity. I agree with you it is simple. What we have done in Lagos within
the areas where we are constrained show that it can be done . But you know the only way that you and I will have
electricity in this country will be to
vote out the PDP.”
The governor further said: “They started from vision 2020-20
and I told you then that they were
having nightmare. There was no vision.
They moved to a seven-point agenda and now they are transforming.
Governor Fashola told the gathering that his administration
had in the last 100 days gave priority
to the provision of homes for Lagosians through
the Lagos Home ownership Mortgage Scheme.
He explained that the state government, in a bid to reduce
the housing deficit in the state, has continued to give out 200 housing units
every month to subscribers to the scheme, adding that the state government
intensified efforts to ensure that those in the informal sector benefit from
the scheme.
In the area of infrastructural development, he said the
state government completed so many road projects across the state within the period, noting
that 205 road projects are at various stages of construction in the state.
Fashola said his administration would sustain the tempo of
development in the state till the end of
his tenure.
