Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) has described President Goodluck Jonathan's transformation agenda as a mere slogan with the sole purpose of deceiving Nigerians.

In a country ruled by insecurity, unemployment, high interest rates, greed, corruption, nepotism, favoritism, intolerance, terrorism and misuse of power, says Fashola, one can hardly describe anything done by the president so far as 'transformational.'

The governor said this at the Leadership Newspaper Annual Conference and 2013 Awards presentation in Abuja. In his paper titled "Rebuilding the Nation: Lessons from Other Lands," he said that GEJ's transformation agenda was a stark contrast to what is obtainable in today's Nigeria.

“The signs that there was not going to be any transformation were obvious to me since 2011 or thereabouts. As a mere slogan perhaps yes. As a call to purposeful action, the deception is obvious if you look at the budgets we have presented as a nation, and more critically at how much of it, we have been able to implement.”
