Fashola Should please shut da fvcck up and stop acting uncouthly!... He is beginning to sound like his party's semi illiterate presidential flag bearer abi he bought his SAN title ! His statements of recent is like a drunk who cant control his mouth anymore just like malfunctioning tap

LocalChamp:
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has revealed that 2,123 policemen provided security for President Goodluck Jonathan while armed robbers raided a bank in Lekki, Lagos last week.

Fashola, who spoke at the Agricultural Food Value Chain held in Agege area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Tuesday said when the president came to Lagos last Thursday, while citizens were being robbed, the president was protected by 2, 123 security personnel.

“Let me be very clear, the president is entitled to every protection, he’s our president, but the question to ask is that; when you were being traumatised yesterday, where were these 2,123 men? Because you are also entitled to be protected. The reason why the president gets all that protection is so that he can protect all of us,” he said.

The governor also decried Monday’s protest march for Jonathan in Lagos by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC and other pro-Jonathan groups in which the protesters terrorised Lagosians while brandishing dangerous weapons.

“Yesterday, they also showed the difference between us when the supporters of the PDP and President Jonathan came out. You know on 7th of March this year, just about a week ago, the APC held a solidarity rally in Lagos. Did anybody attack you on that day? So, yesterday, they held their own, but what I heard, because I received telephone calls and text messages from residents who explained to me, I received emails.

“I am sorry for the pain and trauma they put you through because residents continuously complained yesterday that they were traumatised by those people who supposedly were carrying out a rally in support of the president and in support of their gubernatorial candidate, just kidding.

“So instead of canvassing for your votes and showing you why their service record is better, they were showing you knives, cutlass and dangerous weapons. Some residents phoned to say that they were banging on their cars. Let me remind all of us, that the work of a party and a government is to protect citizens and not to terrorize them,” he stated.

Fashola said for those who still said that they did not know what the issues in these elections were, Monday’s event brought one issue sharply in focus, which he said was the issue of security.

He stated that the peace and safety that “all of you have enjoyed for eight years is now at risk. You have seen the kind of people who support the other party on Monday, you have seen the kind of people who support their presidential and gubernatorial candidate, those are the people that you will see around them. Monday’s experience, may God forbid it, would be what you would experience till 2019.

“Unless you come out massively on March 28 and on April 11, that is the only way that God would forbid that kind of thing from continuing in Lagos. It is your vote that would change it. A vote for General Buhari would put to end this kind of abuse of state power. A vote for Ambode will continue the security that we have built and protected you for the past eight years.

Oh GEJ is the President of Lagos State, I thought it was the Federal Republic of Nigeria like I earlier stated, my bad.with una fish brain,i forget ur ogogoro president once said,lagos is not in nigeria,he is only president of abuja.

persius555:
Its so annoying when people fail to share blames but blame others for their failure. If BRF is trying to score political points with the robbery incident then he got this one wrong. Lagos water ways is overdue for policing, if the LASG had taken steps in securing the waterways, the lives of hapless police will not have been lost. Instead of blaming the president, the incoming governing should take steps to secure the lagos waterways.

Fashola is not one to speak without having the facts to back it up.

The total policemen is barely 5,000, and a man takes up 40% of it.

That is average of over 110 policemen withdrawn from each of the 20 Local Governments In Lagos

Over 2,000 policemen on a man is a terrible lapse.

GEJ needs to review the name Goodluck, for 7 consecutive years no succesful bank robbery in Lagos state , until a day he decides to visit Lagos state

anuofia!

sani99:
is this the first time Robbers have invaded a bank in Lagos? Fashola is playing foolish politics..

ocelot2006:
Fashola is truly a joker for trying to pass the buck to the President. The president advance security detail already has MOPOL cops drawn from the Squadron detailed to the Presidency, DSS agents, and soldiers from the Guards Brigade. That's more than enough to protect the President and his entourage. Deploying that large amount of cops just doesn't make sense at all.

Do note that the president has equally visited other, and I've never seen or heard of them deploy such large numbers of cops.

You and Fashola lack common sense...how on earth is it possible for all the police in lagos to guard only the president...Jonathan is not the first and will not be the last president to move about with "his own" security details, Fashola is so stupid to claim he drafted all the security in lagos to secure Jonathan, Fashola and APC must be investigated...it seem they have a hand in the event that killed innocent lives(the robbery looked like a planned job) did you not read that the police men around the area were shot dead. There have been countless robbery in lagos since Fashola become governor, abi na only when Jonathan come lagos na im robbers dey rob ...you and some Nigerian supporting Fasholas statement are super DAFT. Na yansh una dey take think.

Fashola speak the truth and let the enemy be ashamed. We are not supporting GMB because you APC guys are saints but because we are tired of GEJ's government. We aren't babies I was at stock exchange building and there weren't more than 50 soldiers there. Stop this immature talk abeg
