Politics Lekki Robbery: Fashola is Irresponsible For Blaming Jonathan -Presidency

[abujagirl]

The Presidency says Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola is irresponsible for blaming President Goodluck Jonathan for the Lekki robbery which took place last Thursday.

A statement issued by Reuben Abati on behalf of the presidency read, ''We consider the statement attributed to Governor Fashola as grossly and utterly irresponsible. We expect that a man of his status who is the Governor of a state should speak more responsibly. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever that the entire police formation in a state would be deployed to protect the president of Nigeria.

''The visit of the President or any part of the country does not necessitate the depletion of the police force active in that particular state or its environment. The President has a defined team that protects him anywhere he goes and again President Jonathan does not need the entire police force to protect him in a state where he is loved by the people and where as we have seen, he enjoys overwhelming support to the leadup of the 2015 presidential election''

The statement was going ok until he decided to make reference to the election. It would have been much better to end by offering sympathies to the families of those who died.

Both parties have failed on this but Fashola was incredibly disappointing.
