“What we should do is to focus on the government that is closest to us. I will urge people to go and read the constitution, the powers the President has are about 45, many of them are categorised as power but they are even functions and duties.

“The government that can transform us and give us what we want quickly are the government closest to us – state and local government,” he said.

Nigerians can throw a fit and don't know how to react rationally.

Fashola just said the truth really but Nigerians take pride in being antagonistic and they love the Deja vu; I guess there is a thrill to it embedded in us.

Basic amenities like that are to be covered by the State Government. The FG can't be everywhere and they embark on projects that take years to accomplish: rails, roads, ports etc.

Nigeria has so much challenges that a government can achieve so little in eight years, especially with corruption so endemic and institutionalized.

Listen(sic), before you mention. You would keep moaning and groaning and wailing for eight years of Buhari and then the next government and then the next, until you realise the fundamental details of governance and hold them sensibly to it, devoid of emotions or sentiments or prejudice.

I feel a need to reemphasize. This is NOT about APC/ Buhari or what no. I am feeling the burning effects of the economic downturn but I am grateful to God for the ability to detach emotion for rationality.

Wantedmiller:


I must commend you......you have made a vital point. I use to tell my friend that it is high time we start to hold our governors accountable.

They are not doing anything to better the lives of people in the state at all........all the blame is shifted to Federal government.

And federal has refused to do the needful!

Ehiscotch:


Yeah. And somebody somewhere would step in and oppose the next government and the cycle continue for decades. You get?

I'm not saying Fashola is accountable or anything but is he telling the truth or should we throw away the baby and the bathwater? Just because he is lack accountability does that negate what he said?

So, I am saying he is right and let's not argue ad hominem, devoid of reason.

Where was this his truth during Jonathan's administration, did he tell Nigerians then they should hold their state and local government responsible?
