Fashola, who spoke on Wednesday during the public draw of the monthly Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme’s (LagosHOMs) at LTV
8 Agidingbi, Ikeja, said the situation in the country would change if Nigerians choose their leaders based on the best criteria rather than religious or ethnic bases.
He lamented that the country handed over intact to President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has degenerated, so much so that some parts of the country have fallen into the hands of the insurgents.
The governor said, “They enjoy making promises they cannot keep. You have heard promises about security, not so? Promises made four years ago. But, we handed them the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with all its components parts intact and we are back four years after with some parts of Nigeria already taken away from them and they are saying the next four years will be better.”
He advised Nigerians to be wary of politicians who come to them during this electoral period to make superficial promises, urging the electorates to critically assess the track records of the politicians and their political parties before deciding on them.
“It is election time and they will start coming with vote catching promises, but they have never kept their promises before.
“We on our part, we see promises as something sacred and must be kept. We make promises and we keep them. We promise to deliver 200 homes monthly and we have kept our promise. These are the physical examples that we keep our promise and it is not about tribe or religion,” he stated.
Fashola also advised Nigerians not to base their decisions on who lead them during the next dispensation on tribal or religious sentiments.
