Your Failure Is Personal Not Generational, Fashola Tells Jonathan Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola yesterday said President Goodluck Jonathan’s comment that his generation has failed Nigerians is personal to him, urging him to accept responsibility for his failure to address the challenges confronting the nation. Fashola who spoke at a town hall meeting organised by the State Ministry of Transportation which featured various associations under the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) said the president should summon courage and own up to his government’s failures in the last six years rather than point accusing fingers to past leaders. The governor noted, “He said his generation has failed; he should account for himself, Fashola said, adding that he refuses to join the generation the president was referring to. “He is in his 50s, I am also in my 50s, and we appear to be in the same generation but we are not; I don’t even want to join that generation because my own generation has not failed; I have done well on my job and I am proud to say so. If he has failed, let him account for himself; he should not join us”. He noted that the issues that will form the basis of debate for the elections will be how well the citizens of the nation have fared under the present administration. Fashola said he was pained by the situation in the North East where citizens have become refugees in their country due to the inability of the government to tame the Boko Haram insurgency.
