Obasanjo, Fashola At Loggerhead Over Seized Vehicle by teskyg: 7:29pm On Oct 23, 2012
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola are at loggerheads following the seizure of one of Obasanjo Farms' utility vehicles by men of the Lagos State Transport Management Authority (LASTMA).

Sources close to Obasanjo Farms in Ota, Ogun state explained that one of the utility vehicles allegedly committed a traffic offence in Lagos last week and it was impounded by LASTMA.

It was gathered that all efforts by the ex-president to ensure the release of the seized vehicle proved abortive.

Sources also added that between last Friday and Sunday, October 21, over 10 red-coloured LAG Bus belonging to Lagos State Government have been forcefully diverted into the Obasanjo Farms compound in Ota.

This action has led to scarcity of the popular bus on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway while thousands of residents of Sango, Ota, Ifo and other settlements along the axis have become stranded for the second day running and this has also doubled the cost of transportation in the area

The Ogun State government should order OBJ to release the vehicles. If his vehicles cannot comply with the law of the state then they should be impounded. he is not above the law. And stealing state buses is a crime. Is Baba OBJ willing to go to jail? tongue

Your statement is freakin' pathetic. Fashola is the CEO and the chief law enforcer of Lagos state. His agents have the right to impound any vehicle driven in contravention of gazetted state laws.
Your kind of thinkong is part of what brought Nigeria on its knees: that laws should apply differently to different kinds of people.

Let fashola auction the murafucking baboon's vehicle and lets see if heavens will fall.

Hmmm!!!

After I read this news, I immediately put a call across to OBJ and this is what he had to say.

Acidtalk - Baba Goodday.

Obasanjo - Acidtalk, a da fun e (it will be well with you). By the way what is this call for? Because I know a squirrel can't go jumping in the market place if nothing is chasing it.


Acidtalk - Sir, I called to find out something.

Obasanjo - What is it again this amebo boy?

Acidtalk - Baba, it is the scuffle between you and Governor Fashola over your seized vehicle.

Obasanjo - Ah! Ma da omo buruku yen lowun. Jeki Oju yobo ma ti lo si ino (Don't mind that silly boy, let him allow himself to be pushed to fire by that big eye ball fellow).

Acidtalk - But baba, why did your driver disobey the traffic law of Lagos?

Obasanjo - See Acidtalk, if not because I like you and have great respect for you, I would have hung up this call. Who is Fashola to impound my car in Lagos? Even if I like, I can drive that same car on the tarmac Of Muritala or Nnamdi Azikiwe Airports and dem no born Jonathan sef to do anything.

Acidtalk - But baba, I heard you have seized about 3 Red BRT buses is that true?

Obasanjo - Acidtalk, sha ma wo ni ti e (just be patient and keep watching). I have not started seizing yet, by the time I start with Fashola, all the BRT buses in Lagos will be used as Chicken cages in my farm.

Acidtalk - But Sir,


Obasanjo - Dont but anything. just tell Fashola that "I dey laugh oh!"

No one is above d law. But life does not read sraight all d time. We should at least give obasanjo some form of respect too. If it were to be tinubu's truck dat violated d traffic laws would he even be arrested in d first instance? No one would dare impound his vehicles, or drag his name in d mud like dis. And moreso i learnt d truck were carryn poultry products and obj personally called fashola to help intervene so at least d products could be removed, but all t no avail. This is pure politics. Lets wait and see how it goes........

Fashola is an 1diot, and his 1diocy is multiplying in quadruples each passing day. Since when did traffic offences become something you use to prove stuuupid points? If a person commits a traffic offence and his vehicle is impounded, is there no possibility of paying a fine to reclaim your vehicle? Why not simply tell OBJ that "baba, send your aide to pay the stipulated N20k fine and the vehicle would be released". What is the point to be proved in holding someone's vehicle indefinitely, even if it were an ordinary person and not OBJ? Would he prove this same foolish 'point' with Tinubu's vehicle?

Mehn, this Fashola disgusts me more than a decaying corpse.

Even the judge of a court is empower to exercise his discretional power, irrespective of offense(s) committed we need to accord respect for whom dues, humility is still there for Baba Obasanjo now. After all is not a murder case now, Fashola is the most useless man I have ever examined on earth, himself had violated the right of many Nigerian i.e Okada rider and not haven respect for rule of law is lagos state law above Nigeria constitution ? Most especially section 214 which says their will be no any other police which Fashola is violated by the way of setting up of useless lastma, in nutshell ohun abase labowaba

I believe Obj is aware of the traffic laws in Lagos state, so he should apologize to fashola for breaking the law.

And fashola on the other hand should forgive him and release the impounded vehicle.

If we want this great Nation to move forward, then our leaders (past and present) should learn to abide by the laws of the nation, so that the masses can follow in their footsteps.

Mr KEEP QUIET THAT IS WHY CORRUPTION FULL EVERY WHERE BECAUSE NIGERIANS CONSIDER PERSONALITY RATHER THAN RULE OF LAW
IF A PROMINENT MAN OR ANY OF HIS RELATIVE COMMITTED ONE CRIME OR THE OTHER NONE CAN SAY HEY THIS BAD,BUT IF POOR MAN YOUR TYPE WE SAY LET THE MAN FACE THE LAW,
SO MY POINT IS THAT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER,POOR,RICH OR WHOEVER THAT ACTS AGAINST THE LAW MUST FACE THE LAW FOR SANITY OF THE SOCIETY,FOR SOUNDNESS OF JUDGEMENT OR REASON LET US UP HOLD THE SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION FINI.
