The difference between APC and PDP - Governor Fashola
Speaking during an APC meeting with organized private sector at Marina,
Lagos today February 2nd, Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola, told
his audience the difference between APC & PDP
"The manifesto of the APC is designed to address 2015 problems going on
to 2019 while PDP has is a 1999 manifesto and that probably explains the
disconnect between our realities and the realities that you hear. The
transformation that has been put forth has headed south not west. The
Naira has weakened, interest rates has come up and it is for us to chose
whether we want four more years of that and the Naira is essential in a
free fall in an economy that is currently import denominated and it
would only mean that the purchasing power of our disposable income would
continue to reduce." he said
"The necessity of now is to halt that free fall. That
is something we cannot vote continuity on. I will not. But more
importantly as the candidate, Gen Buhari, has said, it is essentially
not how much really Nigeria earns, it is what value we get out of that
money. If we had sold crude oil, our major income earner for like almost
5-6 years at over a $100 per barrel and all of us are saying there is
pain, do we want to continue now when there is reduced income with the
same team on the same management capacity. If they couldn't do topnotch
at $100 per barrel, can we trust them to do more with less?" he added.
