Read him...

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola yesterday said the Lagos light rail project which his istration began in 2006 would not be completed during his tenure because he has just 121 days left.
The light rail is a mass transit system being developed by the state. It is still under construction after gulping billions of naira.
Speaking during his traditional 100 days rendering exercise at the LTV ground in Ikeja, the governor urged Lagosians to vote for the APC governorship candidate in the state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, saying he has all it takes to continue all the projects he might not be able to complete.
[size=14pt]Blaming lack of federal government [/size] for the uncompleted rail project, [size=14pt]Fashola said all over the world, when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos is doing, their central governments them morally[/size] and financially.
He said the federal government has failed to Lagos and Rivers States which embarked on light rail projects because they are states istered by the opposition party.
“If Lagosians vote for General Muhammadu Buhari next month, the new federal government will assist Ambode in this regard,” he said. Fashola said no government can complete all projects.

He's making sense.


If GEJ promised us so many things and he's yet to do them and he's asking for another four years to do what he didn't do in six years then I see no reason why you should castigate someone who at least started something but couldn't finish and he gave reasonable reasons why he can't finish it.

Alayormii

So you can start what you can't finish, now you are begging FG with style ABI.

Did you make any formal request for help?

You think say FG na father Christmas?

Typical of these pathetic people and their hypocritical party.
Always quick to blame others for their own incompetence.

[size=14pt]Lagos Light Rail Will Be Ready In June 2013[/size]
January 9, 2013 by Sesan Olufowobi

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).
He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the lrail project immediately.
The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.
Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.
The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion
He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.
“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.
“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.
“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.
“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”
Fashola also explained that the factors that necessitated the slow pace of work in Ago Palace Way, Okota, Isolo had been removed as owners of properties on right-of-way, who went to courts to stop the government from demolishing their properties, had agreed to an out-of-court settlement.
Fashola assured the residents that with the owners agreeing to accept compensation from the government, the pace of road construction in the area would be faster.
He said, “The community has grown, so we have to expand the road. At Ago Palace Way, some of the properties needed to give way; everybody wants good road, but nobody wants it to through his house, so some of the owners took us to court. But we have settled out of court and we need to pay compensation.
“These are the things that residents do not see. I have heard complaints that the work is slow; some say the contractor has left; but the reason is that a citizen took us to court.”
He said works would be accelerated to complete the expansion of the road expected to serve as a link between Okota and Festac areas.

We've gone full circle twice (2 years), now in 2015, and this is the type of cheap excuse he's offering. 90 percent propaganda and noise, 10 percent white elephant.

The fact that this Tinubu houseboy even had the nerve to mention Rivers "light rail" (his words) and say the project failed because FG didn't Amaechi since he's in the opposition - FORGETTING that Amaechi was a PDP governor for 6-7 years including the period he flagged off the white elephant - shows Fashola is just a dumb, deceitful id1ot who banks on nothing but baseless, watery lies.

Ambode will complete the monorail after he wins Fashola's istration can't complete it now

Everything FG, what are you guys doing with the money you make from the state?

Was June 2013 not the month Superman Fashola promised to deliver it? Is this the brand of 'Change' they serve?

When good things happen, this id1ot wants to claim the glory alone. Who else re the incident where Jonathan celebrated with the country for the successful elimination of Ebola? Did the Tinubu asslicker not quickly attack the president, saying it was "The Spirit of Lagos" that eliminated Ebola, not the FG?
Now, his white elephant don dey fall yakata and the asshole suddenly re there's an FG to attack for not offering 'moral' .

Ambode will complete the project. At least Fashola started it and has made considerable progress so far. Show me any Pdp state government that has even attempted to carry out such an audacious project.

History will Fashola kindly as one who gave his best to Lagos.

After reading all that came to my mouth was
"God please save Nigeria"

Since 2006 you could not complete a project and you blame it on the federal government

Which way Nigerians

No problem Ambode will do that.

Ambode wil complete it







CHANGE

Reading...

Fashola has made an ission, even though it might have been obvious the project can't be completed within his tenure. That is what leaders do. It is called honesty and is a sign of trustworthiness.

I double dare Jonathan to it the second Niger Bridge cannot be completed before the next general election!! He once boasted "if I don't complete the Bridge before 2015, I will go on self exhile".

ALAYORMII:
He's making sense

What is the sense there

It's a shame that if. Fashola and Ameachi go to bed with their respective wives and their JT refuse to stand at attention and salute, They'll blame Jonathan.



Fashola we know ur gimmicks.

if i am not mistaken GEJ has completed hundred of kilometers of rail in the same period and later Fashola will call GEJ Mr excuse

Lagos has been scammed, Tinubu is robbing Lagos blind with Hi tech and several other phony companies, while screaming change to his gullible hungry followers

the real lagos below, just a kilometer from the toll gate in lekki this is happening

FASHOLA IS AN IDIO.T. THE SAME FEDERAL GOVT HE'S ALWAYS BAD-MOUTHING - NEVER HAS A GOOD WORD TO SAY ABOUT - IS THE SAME FEDERAL GOVT HE EXPECTS TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO HIS PROJECTS. WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?

I understand that Fashole obtained an F9 in Mathematics. This should explain why he started a white elephant project he clearly couldn't afford then mid way started looking for people to blame for his inability to plan.

Interestingly, the person he hopes will help his state complete the project is the same Animal that cancelled an earlier version of the same project at great cost.

And this is the dude people were hyping.

Apeeshit, axis of mumu.

Fashola of late has been making idiotic statements & embarrassing himself...His very poor at this propaganda business

Fashola says FG is stifling the Lagos Light Rail..Same FG that has graciously approved loans meant for this project?

FG approves $242.2m IDA loans for Lagos

" The Minister of Finance brought a
memorandum seeking approval to obtain additional
credit facility from the International Development
Association in of the Second Lagos State
Development Policy Operation.

“The objective of the project is to improve on public
finance in a sustainable manner and consolidate on
the achievements recorded under the first phase of
the project.

“The project covers the construction of a 27km light rail , construction of schools and the construction of
Adiyan mini waterworks to provide two million
gallons of water per day.

Just look at the vitriol oozing out his gub, yet these are the same people calling for "a younger Fashola instead of grandpa Buhari". One can only imagine the things they would have said about the governor had he emerged the flag bearer of APC.

Degenerate hypocrites.

When they are able to get things done, they say the FG should not be mentioned that they did it. But when they fail, they blame the FG.
