A Recitation Of Failed Promises Of President Jonathan By Babatunde Raji Fashola

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola gave a
detailed account of President Goodluck Jonathan's failed
promises at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential
primaries.

My duty today is simple; yet it is one that excites me very
deeply because as I welcome you all to Lagos and to the first
Presidential Convention of the All Progressives Congress, I
am confident that I am welcoming you to change.

I welcome you to a change that is for the better.
I welcome you to change that will liberate Nigeria from
inefficient national management.
I welcome you all delegates from across Nigeria, to Lagos,
where the first building blocks of the country now known as
Nigeria were laid.

I welcome you back to the epicenter of nationalism and the
home of change, where our pre-eminent nationalists forced a
change from colonial government to a Nigerian government.
I welcome you all back to where the promise of Nigeria was
hatched, as a land of endless opportunities.
Unfortunately, the bridge between us and our opportunities
have been shattered by a series of broken promises by a
party, Government and President for whom promises mean
nothing.
