Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has accused the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, of losing his sense of judgement within the short period he has stayed on the corridor of power. Fashola stated this in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday while faulting the claim by Maku at a ministerial briefing in Abuja on Monday that the Lagos governor had not achieved anything in office.

In a statement signed by the state commissioner for information, Lateef Ibirogba, Fashaola also expressed a great pity for the minister.

The statement reads in part, “We read with a sense of pity the story credited to the Hon. Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, denying the verifiable achievements of His Excellency, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, the Governor of Lagos State.

“On one hand we feel great pity that Mr. Maku has within a short time lost touch with the ethics of Journalism which emphasizes accuracy, objectivity and facts. On the other hand, we pity the country if the man with the status of Hon. Minister of Information can descend so low as to misinform the world with such impunity.

“Although his reason for such inflammatory remarks is still hard to discern, he would have done himself and the nation much good by limiting himself to his brief rather than dabbling into issues he knows next to nothing about.

“In an assignment such as Ministerial briefing, as Lagos State had just done while marking the 6th anniversary of His Excellency, all Maku would have done in his remarks was to concentrate more on the achievements of the Federal government if there is any and if there was nothing to report ( as is clear from his vituperation) he could still have done himself a world of good by keeping quiet (as journalism dictates) than exposing himself to such ridicule through the unguarded statement credited to him.

Seriously, I feel pity for Maku too!

he should be made to answer questions for killings of police in nasarawa

Maku is a political jobber...he need to show more loyalty as his job is on the firing line..

To be fair and honest, Maku crossed the line with his comments. He acted very unprofessionally as a minister of information. People in his position shouldn't play politics with certain issues, he should learn from his predecessors.

Labaran Maku the talkative.

Maku said brt lanes belong to fg.is that not true? He said Fashola' main challenge is traffic control and environmental sanitation. Is that totally false? Hope truth is not now bitter.

silat: Maku said brt lanes belong to fg.is that not true? He said Fashola' main challenge is traffic control and environmental sanitation. Is that totally false? Hope truth is not now bitter.

did maku or gej create the brt lanes? Has brt been a blessing to lagosians or not? Is the expansion of mile 12 to ikorodu being done by maku or gej? I can go on and on

as Lagos State had just done while marking the 6th anniversary of His Excellency, all Maku would have done in his remarks was to concentrate more on the achievements of the Federal government if there is any and if there was nothing to report ( as is clear from his vituperation) he could still have done himself a world of good by keeping quiet (as journalism dictates) than exposing himself to such ridicule through the unguarded statement credited to him.

madt punchline

Although his reason for such inflammatory remarks is still hard to discern, he would have done himself and the nation much good by limiting himself to his brief rather than dabbling into issues he knows next to nothing about.

From a minister of the federal republic, that's a shame

silat: Maku said brt lanes belong to fg.is that not true? He said Fashola' main challenge is traffic control and environmental sanitation. Is that totally false? Hope truth is not now bitter.

LIEbaran Maku punched above his weight class on this one

Nigerian men are not honourable. Spineless souls!!!
And I mean loafers like Labaran Maku!

"Feel Pity" nice condescending retort. ;

GEJ is to be pitied too for the woeful conduct of those in his employment. Whereas Yar Adua had one Aondoakaa, virtually everyone connected with GEJ is a lousy Aondoakaa-type. Speaks volumes for the predisposition of GEJ that he has to surround himself with so many uncouth, disrespectful and unprofessional attack dogs.

the title made me laugh.

Labaran Maku, a failed cattle rarer, with zero sense is Jona's 'Minister for Misinformation', one can not but pity my country Nigeria.

Is the man on drugs? What does he smoke?
