Speaking during an APC meeting with organized private sector at Marina, 
Lagos today February 2nd, Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola, told 
his audience the difference between APC & PDP
"The manifesto of the APC is designed to address 2015 problems going on 
to 2019 while PDP has is a 1999 manifesto and that probably explains the
 disconnect between our realities and the realities that you hear. The 
transformation that has been put forth has headed south not west. The 
Naira has weakened, interest rates has come up and it is for us to chose
 whether we want four more years of that and the Naira is essential in a
 free fall in an economy that is currently import denominated and it 
would only mean that the purchasing power of our disposable income would
 continue to reduce." he said
"The necessity of now is to halt that free fall. That
 is something we cannot vote continuity on. I will not. But more 
importantly as the candidate, Gen Buhari, has said, it is essentially 
not how much really Nigeria earns, it is what value we get out of that 
money. If we had sold crude oil, our major income earner for like almost
 5-6 years at over a $100 per barrel and all of us are saying there is 
pain, do we want to continue now when there is reduced income with the 
same team on the same management capacity. If they couldn't do topnotch 
at $100 per barrel, can we trust them to do more with less?" he added.
