LAGOS—Lagos State Government yesterday said President Goodluck Jonathan and his vice; Namadi Sambo has ruled the country for four years without any legacy to show, even as it accused Sambo of lacking in facts on the economic viability of the state.

The state government made the statement while reacting to the claim by Sambo that many residents have been fleeing the state because of the high taxes imposed on them by the state government.

The Vice President made the claim on Christmas eve, during a reconciliation meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship aspirants in Lagos.

Reacting on behalf of the State Government, the Special Adviser to the State Governor on Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Raji, lamented that under the present administration, Nigerians have not “felt the presence of the Federal Government even in the remotest part of the country.”
