The statement further reiterated that the tour is non-partisan and that all the 36 state governors were part of the planning.

The highlighted part draws attention to Fashola's (and ACN's) penchant for playing to the gallery. Why did they not raise objections at the NGF when the idea was tabled? Why did they approve the framework? What is the sense in purporting to publicly condemn and ridicule an initiative that you had previously approved in private?

This is what Fashola does best - a CHAMELEON.

This is exactly the same thing he did in the subsidy debate, he yourthe removal only to come back later to condemn the govt after the shitt hit the fan. If you can't trust a man with his own words, he changes his mouth and stance almost opposite, then it's a serious problem.

babapupa:


And with all your noise and crying, you are yet to show us that agreement fashola signed with the 419 scam tour crew.


Btw, problem for who? Obviously for disgruntled elements like you..

Who is this person, from what hole did you come out from?

What the hell is he talking about? This is the effect of late night crack

truth4meal: The Good Governance Tour team said ACN governors have “something to hide.”
For the second time in one week, the Labaran Maku-led ‘Good Governance Tour’ team has hit out at a state governor who criticised the project.
On the occasion of his 2,100th day in office, Babatunde Fashola, the Lagos State Governor, had described the tour as “an attempt to appear busy” because the federal government “have no project to inspect.”
Mr. Fashola’s statement fell in line with his party man and Edo State counterpart, Adams Oshiomhole, who turned down the tour team’s request that the state provide feeding and accommodation “as agreed.”
In a statement, Friday, the team said it viewed the Lagos Governor’s utterance “with concern and deep regret” because the federal government has a huge stake in the governance of Lagos State.
“Governor Fashola should be appreciative of the Federal Government because far more than other states, the entire Lagos State like Abuja, runs on Federal Government infrastructure and services and Fashola knows that the Federal Government is doing a lot to keep Lagos State moving,” Samuel Ajayi, the Coordinator National, Good Governance Tour, said in the statement.
The Good Governance Tour, led by Mr. Maku, the Information Minister, began in September last year, with Abuja hosting the inaugural event.
With over 100 delegates comprising of state officials, journalist, civil groups, and nongovernmental organizations, the team intends to visit all states to highlight federal and state government projects.
However, the tour, which has seen Mr. Maku and his team visit 15 states across the North-central, South-East and the South-South Geo-political Zones, has continued to elicit criticisms from some Nigerians.
Something to hide
Last week, Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, labelled the tour “a big scam.”
“I am happy that Oshiomhole told the leader of the Good Governance Tour, Labaran Maku, to go to hell,” said Mr. Soyinka, throwing his weight behind the Edo State Governor.
Both Messrs. Oshiomhole and Fashola belong to the opposition Action Congress of Nigeria.
Mr. Ajayi referred to this in the statement, insinuating that the governors have skeletons hidden.
“It is obvious that Governors of a certain partisan persuasion are nervous about the impending tour of their states,” the statement continued.
“This clearly demonstrates that they have something to hide. If not, why are they afraid of the tour of projects in their states?”
The statement further reiterated that the tour is non-partisan and that all the 36 state governors were part of the planning.
“It must be shocking to all who are familiar with how the Tour was conceived, and is being implemented, that it has taken Governor Fashola nearly six months to dissociate the Lagos State Government from the Tour,” the statement read.
“For the records, Lagos State was duly represented by the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, on the committee set up by the Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum, to ratify the template for the Tour.
“The final framework was approved by all state Governors without exception.”

teskyg: we knew all this while that Fashola is obsessed with propaganda.

And by the way, Soyinka is beginning to lose credibility. We know he has been shamelessly collecting monthly stipends from Tinubu, and shamelessly lobbied for his son to be appointed commissioner under Amosun's ACN government. It is therefore not surprising that he 'coincidentally' agrees with the ACN's views on every issue.

babapupa:

I'm used to your re/tarded acts and dodging schemes. Your post means you are still a lying scumbag because you still don't have any signed proof about any agreement with your scam and shady tour.. Even the subsidy noise you are making is a lie...


Everything about you is a lie just like the lying info minister and con man you are defending...

manny4life:

Just like I'm used to your shameless show of disgust and arze licking. Between your post and I, there't no telling whose own reeks of ignorance and stupidity. Like I said, you asked me to prove if he endorsed it, I showed it to you, YES I ACCUSE HIM because he did, if it pains u too much, GO FUCKKK YOURSELF AND HANG...

Just like you and your fashola, no difference. Go back to new articles and see where fashola endorsed subsidy removal at the NGF, but came January, he started singing a new song condemning the govt. When Nigeria knows how two-sided you are, ain't no telling what will happen, heck, the media is already doing justice to Fashola's chameleoness,

babapupa:


No scumbag, you showed me what the national 419 habitual liar and conman said, not what fashola signed. You can not take that to any court of law as evidence you dumb id.iot...

GARRI (x7):
LIEbaran Maku is‎​ hirt because the millions he hoped to get from LASG won't be forthcoming..

Meanwhile he and his 120-man choir are free to inspect FG's projects if there are any in LAG..

take dat: I am not bothered by the war of words, trading blames and counter blames between Maku and some governors. Our political leaders are known to sometimes make decisions without critically thinking it through, Fashola and Oshilmhole erred in this respect, cos they ought to have known that such exercise will always veer off into the arena politics, especially the politics of scoring their party by a political adversary! The exercise was specifically designed to serve the interest of the PDP governors, who due to lack of popularity and media attention were perceived to be mannequins ie idle and completely motionless governors!

On the issue of whether the tour is a well conceived or ill-conceived ideas is debatable. For me, I believe it is ill-conceived cos the intention of those who packaged it was to give Nigerians the impression that government is working, and in reality it is not so! If the team believes the best way to access the performance of governors is to embark on juicy and properly teleguided inspection of selected and predetermined projects, some of which are white elephant projects that have no relevance or value to the people, and meanwhile wastefully spending public funds for such jamboree, I will not blame Fashola or any other governor for opting out of the arrangement!

Ejiné:

Mr. Fake-Asss Deltan, you still never tire to dey shamelessly claim Waffi Homelander abi?

Anyway... Issokay.

Elueme: This tells the kind of leaders Nigerians should expect from ACN . A people who talk from both sides of their mouth while still playing saints. What a dishonorable way to get the people's sympathy but a traitor like Fashola will deny Nigerians that he never obliged to agreement when it matters most.
