Yoruba Leaders Expose Corrupt Dealings Between Fashola And Tinubu

Yoruba Leaders under the umbrella of Afenifere have accused Governor Babatunde Fashola of running an overinflated administration riddled with corruption.

According to the Daily Post, the Yoruba pan- sociocultural group made these accusations while reacting to Fashola’s statements that the Yoruba leaders support for President Jonathan is a “betrayal ” borne out of “blood money”.

The statement which was signed by Yinka Odumakin, the national publicity secretary of Afenifere alleged that Fashola who came to office 8 years ago with a Mercedez Benz 200 flat boot and a Sagem handset had amassed huge sums of wealth due to his corrupt dealings with Bola Tinubu.

The group accused Fashola as subjecting himself under the slavery of the “Lion of Bourdillon” (Bola Tinubu) for eight years to the detriment of Lagosians.

It described Fashola’s tenure is a failed project, noting that beyond the planting of flowers and Christmas lights at scandalous prices, the tell tales of Lagos are pot hole roads, pupils sitting on bare floor in schools, absence of potable water for most of residents, perennial strikes by doctors, poor conditions of service for workers and war against the poor.

Below are excerpts of the release by Afenifere

The attention of Afenifere has been drawn to the rude remarks by Lagos state governor,Mr Babatunde Fashola that Yoruba leaders support for President Jonathan is a “betrayal ” borne out of “blood money”.

There comes a time when a child asks that we tell him his pertinent history and that is exactly what the spineless governor enslaved by the “Lion of Bourdillon” for eight years whose manhood is now rising against those more honorable than him has just asked for.

An unknown entity in the affairs of Yoruba nation before Tinubu hand -picked him to continue the raiding of Lagos,Fashola betrayed his crass ignorance by turning history upside down when he said Hubert Ogunde’s “Yoruba Ronu” was against the principled commitment to the Youruba quest for autonomy which the support for Jonathan bold move to restructure Nigeria symbolizes.

The truth is that Ogunde waxed that song against the precursors of Fashola’s godfather and his co-travelers mission to sell Yoruba to internal colonialists who want to perpetually enslave the Yoruba and other nationalities under their feudal hegemony.

These career looters (the Owoboriomos) have been blinded by their obscene loot to place their empire building to be of more importance under a fluke “change ” than the well being of millions of our people agonizing in a cage the unitary arrangement in Nigeria has put them.

Before Fashola can run his mouth against those who have been at the vanguard of the battle for federalism in Nigeria before he was born,we ask him to publicly declare his assets today against the Mercedez Benz 200 flat boot and Sagem handset which he brought to Alausa when Tinubu appointed him as Chief of staff in 2002.

It is widely known that the song his godfather has been singing since 2010 when he floated the “True Face of Lagos” against him is “mo ti ri ole to mo ole ja ju ole lo”(I’ve seen the one who steals better than the one they call the thief).
The joke in Alausa is that where Tinubu used wheel barrow,Fashola is using pay loader!

While His Excellency takes his time to give us his declaration we need to restate some of the public knowledge of what he had done with about N4trillion that has accrued to Lagos under his stewardship.

While there is a lot of media wash deodorizing the stench in Lagos as “performance”,the truth is that Lagos under Fashola is a failed project .Beyond the planting of flowers and Christmas lights at scandalous prices,the tell tales of Lagos are pot hole roads,p
ils sitting on bare floor in schools, absence of potable water for most of residents,perennial strikes by doctors,poor conditions of service for workers and war against the poor.

The hallmark of Fashola style of governance has been overinflated contracts which explains why costs of projects are not officially disclosed,There is a law by Fashola gagging all officials of the state except from the information commissioner from speaking to the press.The FOI request on how much Fashola pays Alpha Beta Consulting from Lagos revenue monthly has yet to be answered.

The IKoyi-Lekki bridge built by Fashola has been rated as the most expensive in the entire world added to the many bare-faced looting documented by the “True Face of Lagos” which he used some judicial shenanigans to shield himself from accountability.

Fashola has yet to respond to the scandal of the metal scraps he went to pick from Canada which he is passing off to Lagosians as light rail in multi-billion Naira scam.
It is understandable that people like Fashola who have prospered in inequity at the expense of our people will defend the status -quo that has taken away the status of our people and call it “change”.

Yoruba people will show them on March 28 and April 11 that the education Awolowo gave them which the Tinubu-Fashola generations are taking away is sufficient to shield them from the deception of the neo-Afonjas and their Assembly.
We stand by our decision that Yoruba will realize their aspirations for accelerated development in a restructured Nigeria and should vote Goodluck Jonathan who is committed to the implementation of the 2014 National Conference report .

We however have nothing against those who want to follow those who lied that the conference did not address the Yoruba agenda and are supporting those whose quest for domination would have been the reason for the blocking of our quest for freedom if we had not used all the skills at our disposal to turn the tide against them at the Confab.

We urge our people to peacefully cause an electoral revolution in the coming elections so as to assert our civilization and put the entire Nigeria on a new path of development via Federalism.

There should be no room for violence of any sort which would naturally be the desire for those who cannot convince the Yoruba against their best interest and are threading “slippery ground.”

Our ancestors will not let them pass and they will not succeed in spilling the blood of anybody.

Gej till 2019

Wow!.... Me love this!

With my age and experience, what I can say is that Lagos is being run as a Tinubu empire.

The only standard road built by Fashola administration in Lekki is heavily tolled. No pipe borne water in most parts of Lagos. Go to Alaworo primary school in Ojo, Iyana Iba and see the stench and filth at the gate of the primary school. Igando, Isheri and Egbeda areas are continually flooded during rains due to lack of proper drainage.

Any Lagos resident voting for Ambode should know what to expect... A word is enough for the wise.

i swear, you collect jonathan's millions and i bet you will begin to talk like that man up there...ask FFK, Ruben Abati, etc... But on a more serious note ,who be the yoruba leader self?

Tinubu empire expanding and "torching" lives

Who dash this boy Yinka odumakin Yoruba elder.For me I only see a servant working for his master gej.

Apc don finish so buhari will never get back to state house again in his life,up up afenifere,i see a better Nigeria coming

Your life is your number one PVC Beloved, here are REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DIE FOR ANY POLITICIAN BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER ELECTIONS :

1. Former Governors Engr. Segun Oni and Dr. Kayode Fayemi used to be political foes, now they belong to the same party. They are now friends yet some folks had died fighting for them.

2. Similarly, Former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola never befriended Governor Aregbesola; but now, they belong to the same party, yet some people had died for both. They are now friends.

3. Who would have thought that Atiku Abubakar would visit Baba Olusegun Obasanjo in Otta farm after all the brouhaha. Politicians belong to one big family. They have their interest at stake, do not die for them especially when you have nothing at stake.

4. By this time next week, one of the two prominent Presidential candidates will emerge as Nigeria's President. His wife will become the first lady. His children will become VIP. You and I will return to our different jobs (journalism, care attendant, Banker, security, etc.). Life must continue.

VOTE, that is your obligation.
You do not owe anyone a duty to die. Value your life, if you are still alive you can be better than them.
Say no to violence! Say no to blood letting!
Make a choice with your PVC and let God enthrone a king.
I LOVE YOU.

Thank Goodness not everybody is a slave to the Thieving-Bull. Thank goodness these men are wise and see the great future lying ahead with PDP and the disastrous future APC is presenting.


Choose with caution, vote wisely..

@Post,

Odumakin's remarks are extremely shocking.

Why garnish lies in a bid to crucify an enemy? This is the most dishonorable piece I have read by another Yoruba man claiming to be a leader.

If Tinubu handpicked Fashola to lead Lagos after him, then I must commend him for the vision even when the man had no notable experience.

I have lived most of my life in Lagos and I wish to share some of my observed notable achievements by Mr Fashola:

1. Over 50% of Lagos State Owned key collector roads have been made good and very motorable. Few references within my route are Victoria Island, Lekki, Surulere, Ogba, Lagos Island (by Tinubu). I am sure there has been tremendous efforts in road construction in every Local Government.

2. The initiative for the Falomo Ramp and the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge is the most strategic decision ever and worthy of commendation. Prior to now, moving through Victoria Island to Lekki and Ikoyi to Lekki was a herculean task at peak periods. Today, it is a different positive story. Traffic has been aptly diffused and productivity within this major economic West Africa hub improved. The Ozunba Mbadiwe upgrade has been very useful. The impact of the toll gate on this road has been cushioned by the alternative routes and the bridge mentioned above. Traffic lights have also been duly maintained through these years to keep behaviour of road users in order.

3. Turning slums into befitting residential estates. Sogunro Area of Ogba used to be a notorious zone. Today an apposite contemporary Estate built by NTDA sits on the same land under the Lagos HOMS initiative.

4. The initiative to execute a light rail transportation is applaudable. Lagos was the pacesetter on this subject and others followed suit. If completed it will be a flagship model to adopt to address the militating traffic challenges if this highlt populous and dense State.

5. Upgrade of General Hospitals across the State

6. Strategic Independent Power Projects to supply power to key Street lights and government facilities/utilities.

7. State investment in Agriculture by acquiring land for mechanised farming purposes and job creation.

8. Introduction of BRT buses. First ever of its kind.

9. Revamp of the Ministry of Physical Planning processes leading to prompt development approvals and in turn construction projects within the main business hub.

10. The vision for the Eko Atlantic Project is commendable. I have my reservations with the location but will like to read the Environmental Impact Assessment before making further comments.

I have no information on Education and availability of potable water. As it is the norm in Lagos, we rely on domestic Borehole and water treatment plants for potable water supply.
Notwithstanding the good observations I have highlighted above, I cannot argue about Fashola's sanctity. I also believe he would have achieved more if he was more sincere, less corrupt and had no godfather to service. Albeit, with a near zero support from the FG which is shocking for a key economic hub, he has developed Lagos way beyond what it used to be.

I will rate his performance 52% comparing the achievements with the total revenue. In my opinion, he has performed way above any Governor (on consideration of the population and nomenclature of other States) and in multiple times better than the FG.

Odumakin should "ronu"!

APC IS A FULL OF THIEVES

seunlayi:
APC IS A FULL OF THIEVES

Bigger and bolder thieves!

I want yu all to knw dat lagos state govnor is anoda country presido..

And your clueless President Jonathan doesn't know how to allow anti-corruption agencies to handle that?
