Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has called for a change of leadership at the centre, the governor stated that Nigeria is too important both globally and continentally to be left in the hands of those who play politics with the lives of her citizens.

Addressing members of the Yoruba Tennis Club and their Island Club counterparts at their respective club houses in Lagos, Fashola said the national government, formed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had failed to provide its most important responsibility which, according to him, is the security of life and property of citizens and protection of the territorial integrity of the nation.

The governor noted that the entire country that was handed to the PDP in 2011 could not be accounted for as the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram has taken control of some parts of the country.

He said: “They are returning now to ask for our votes with only a part of the country that we gave them because some parts of the country have been lost to people we didn’t elect. So, in that most important responsibility, they have dropped the ball. That is the alternative that is being offered you in Lagos. The choice is yours.”

Fashola expressed dissatisfaction with the issue of power, security and the way the abducted secondary school girls in Chibok in Borno State was politicised by the Federal Government.
