The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde
Fashola, on Tuesday said President Goodluck Jonathan’s comment that his
generation had failed Nigerians was personal to him.
He told the President to accept responsibility for his failure to address the challenges confronting the nation.
Fashola spoke at a town hall meeting
organised by the State Ministry of Transportation which had transport
unions, including the National Union of Road Transport Workers’ in
attendance.
The
governor said the president should summon courage and own up to his
government’s failures
Jonathan failed himself not the generation-in the last six years rather than point accusing
fingers to past leaders.
He 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.
