Former Lagos state Governor,
Babatunde Fashola appeared before
the senate this morning for
screening.
As expected, the former governor
was eloquent and distinguished
senators hung on his every word like
school children. At a point it seemed
like Fashola were lecturing the
members, rather than a screening
exercise.
Read 16 quotes which I found most
remarkable:-
”I cannot claim credit for my success
in Lagos State”
“I felt responsible for every citizen
who was robbed”
”We can redress political abuses, but
cannot recover a life already lost”
”Nigeria has about 500,000 standing
policemen. We are under-policed”
“The concept of loyalty is a very
strange one. My prayer is that ‘may
our loyalties never be tested.”
”As Governor of Lagos I didn’t sign
cheques. I’ve never signed cheques, I
didn’t fix contract prices. Only
training I have is as a lawyer”
“Nobody has alleged that I wrongly
enriched myself”
“I have remained loyal to causes I
signed to. I stand by my word”
“Nobody can fairly accuse me of
giving my word and going back on
my word”
“The unfortunate thing about money
is that it raises suspicion, even
among brothers”
“Government should not get involved
in needless disputes”
”The choices we make define the
result we get”
‘This nation has a lot of money
outside its borders. Nigerians are
investing more abroad’
“Those who want to benefit from the
commonwealth must contribute to
the common purse”
”The consequence to making the
promises is the right to
accountability”.
”The right to freedom is not
absolute.It carries responsibility of
not to be a nuisance”
