Explaining further about what he meant by the statement, Fashola said
he once told the people that the ruling party’s 2020-20 vision was only a night
mare, and that there was no vision. He says they have moved from there to seven-point
agenda and now they are transforming, what next?, the Governor said. His statements after the cut.

“I agree that it is
possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this
country has electricity. I agree with you it is simple with what we have done
in Lagos within the areas where we are constrained showed that it can be done.
But the only way you and I will have electricity in this country is to vote out
the PDP.”

“In 16 years, hundreds of billions of naira had been spent
on power supply and we cannot switch on electricity for the entire country. But
in seven years, we (Lagos State Government) have created four plants, it showed
that something is missing. Unless you vote for the All Progressives Congress,
APC to change an inefficient government, it is going to be difficult to have
electricity.

they were having nightmare, that there was no vision. They moved to seven-point

“Let me also say that in the last seven years, we need to
ask how many new power plants the Federal Government has commissioned because
sometimes the power that is coming to Lagos at most is 1000 mega watts often
times it is 600, at other times 800 mega watts.”

“I appreciate the problem of distribution of power, that was
why the state government established the transformer manufacturing company,
which has afforded the state government the opportunity to distribute
transformers to several communities in the state,” he said.
