Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola has said that President Goodluck Jonathan failed the nation, not his generation.
Fashola while speaking at the town hall meeting organised by the State Ministry of Transportation said “He(Jonathan) said his generation has failed; he should account for himself. I refuse to be part of the generation the President is referring to.
“He is in his 50s, I am also in my 50s. But I don’t want to join that generation because my own generation has not failed; I have done well on my job and I am proud to say so. If he has failed, let him account for himself, he should not include us.”
He added that “Instead of telling you how he plans to secure the nation, our president was telling you they tried to kill him four years ago and we did not know. That is a serious national security issue because nobody wants our Commander-in-Chief dead.
“If anybody tries to kill him, we should have known. And if I was Commander-in-Chief, and the person who tries to kill me is in a South African jail, I will ask that he should be repatriated to Nigeria to face punishment.”
Fashola also accused the President of seeking sympathy votes.
