People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, Chief Olabode George has condemned former governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Raji Fashola stating that current governor, Akinwunmi Ambode is a better performer.
In an interview with Punch Newspaper, the former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the opposition PDP spoke on speculations that Governor Ambode may have been involved in a politically-motivated vendetta against his predecessor, Fashola.
He said, “Who asked him (Ambode) to do that? Now, people are putting him on the wire that whatever Fashola’s legacy is — I don’t know what legacy that one left behind anyway. Okay, he did Surulere; where else? He was planting flowers. Where is the Bus Rapid Transit (by Fashola’s government) now?”
Asserting that Fashola who is the current Minister for Power, Works and Housing has failed in his current and previous capacities, George said, “Now, he (Fashola) can’t go back and start saying, ‘I want to go and correct this.’ It’s over. And if you compare him with (Ambode) and I am not saying he (Ambode) is a saint or that he hasn’t made certain mistakes, but as a Lagosian, I can see (his performance) if you go from location A to location B.”
