Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos
State on Wednesday, in what is deemed a
major faux-pas on his part has tasked
Lagos residents to resist the idea of voting
for Mr. Jimi Agbaje the PDP governorship
candidate for being too old to rule the
state. Mr. Jimi Agbaje born March 2, 1957
is currently 57 years old.
Governor Fashola made this remarks at
the Lagos West senatorial campaign of the
APC governorship candidate, Mr
Akinwumi Ambode, which took place at
Sky Power Play Ground, Ikeja. that:
“Today, at 52, I am counting the number of
black hair on my head. Akinwunmi
Ambode is the man that can do it. If you
put an old man there, he cannot do it. If
you call him in the night, he may not pick
your calls,” he warned.
The controversial remark has prompted
several campaign groups affiliated with
the General Buhari campaign organization
to embark on strategic meetings since last
night with the aim of controlling the
damage caused by the statement as
conversations on the APC Presidential and
VP candidates age who are far older than
Agbaje and with more daunting
assignments, have been reawakened.
According to Fashola, the task of
governing Lagos State was required age to
be on the side of the candidate and vigour
on the part of the person at the helm of
affairs, recalling that in 2007 when he took
over governance at age 44, he could count
the number of grey hair on his head.

Can someone tell fashola that buhari is 16 years, I mean 16 good or bad years older than Jimi Agbaje ... GEJ till 2019!!!

One by one, them don they fight each other

okay nah

But come to think of it, Fashola truly yarned opata and dust by making such comment

Little wonder the goofed comment is generating dust in APC camp.

Fashola was talking like a confused fool..... How
could u make such a statement wen u're supporting
a 73yrs old certificateless computer illiterate to lead
a country!
#Common sense is not common
#APC====Hypocrites!...
#Gej till Buhari clocks 77yrs

temitemi1:

Buhari real age can be more than 80 years

IT IS GOD THAT IS CAUSING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN APC NOW.

BUHARI FAINTED AT CALABAR.
BUHARI DOES NOT KNOW THE NAME OF HIS RUNNING MATE.
JOHN OYEGUN SAID THAT APC HAVE FAILED, AT APC CAMPAIGN IN OWERRI.
AND SO ON.

PLEASE, LET APC LEAVE IT FOR PDP.

JONATHAN IS THE MAN.

hmmmm but he said the truth about age and governance.

I feel the aspirants should be telling the masses how they will make life better for them
if the eventually emerge.

Lagos for Change!
Sai Agbaje

Anyway, Fashola is correct, Buhari is too old. Afterall, Buhari is not most qualify in APC.

Tinubu don dey give this guy claro ooo
He will soon be used to it to d extent that he won't be indirectly rubbishing ape pee cee

From ReubenAbati.com. Abeg make I laugh. Poor man. I remember his article on Dame Patience before they called him to chop.

Dame Patience, Our President's Darling Wife --By Reuben Abati

Democracy is readily associated with freedom: the freedom to be free in many respects and increasingly in Nigeria, many of our compatriots, particularly persons in positions of privilege and authority confuse this with the right to be disagreeable. The truth is that democracy is about rights and responsibilities, a democratic dispensation therefore cannot be a licence for disagreeable conduct as a norm; just as the possession of power in any form does not guarantee the right to be reckless or to ignore the etiquette required of office holders.

Anyone in the corridors of power, either by chance or right, or appointment, is expected to behave decorously.

Dame Patience Jonathan, as she is now referred to, our President's wife, failed the test this week in Okrika, Rivers State. It is trite knowledge that there is a critical difference between Yenagoa and Abuja, and a world of difference between being the wife of a Deputy Governor/Governor/Vice president and being the wife of Nigeria's No 1 citizen. When people suddenly find themselves in such latter position, prepared or unprepared, anywhere in the world, they are taken through a crash programme in finishing and poise and made to realize that being the wife of an important man comes with serious responsibilities lest they sabotage the same person that they should be supporting.

If Dame Patience went through such re-orientation, the course was incomplete. This week, we got a feedback drawn from her visit to Rivers state to launch her NGO - the Women for Change Initiative, when she ended up in Okrika, her home town. This homecoming became an egoistic show-off as she openly contradicted the state Governor [Rotimi Amaechi], offering him unsolicited lessons on how to develop the Okrika water front and school system, in addition to pointed comments on the use of the English language. The Governor had reportedly insisted that his administration must demolish some houses which adjoin the schools in Okrika in order to create a proper learning environment. Dame Patience disagreed.

She then gave an unsolicited lecture on the land tenure system telling the Governor: "I want you to get me clear. I am from here. I know the problems of my people so I know what I am talking..." The Governor tried to explain his administration's policy and the larger public interest. The Dame reportedly cut him short: "But what I am telling you is that you always say you must demolish; that word must you use is not good. It is by pleading. You appeal to the owners of the compound because they will not go into exile. Land is a serious issue." Wao! "that word must..is not good." We must all commit that to memory as we re-learn Practical English according to Patience Jonathan!


If it is in the place of the President's wife to teach a state Governor how to run his state, it is definitely not in her place to veto a state policy (the reason the governor used the word "must", not even her husband [President Goodluck Jonathan] has such powers. It seemed as if Dame Patience Jonathan was determined to impress her kith and kin. She told them she had directed the governor not to demolish their houses. Then, she left straight for the airport obviously having overstayed her welcome and having behaved like a bad guest. She was scheduled to visit the prisons to grant amnesty to some inmates (is that really her duty or something that should be in her itinerary?); she was also meant to commission some projects. The face-off between her and the governor put paid to all that.

On the eve of her arrival, a group which calls itself "the Okrika Political Stakeholders Forum" and "the people of Kirikese" had actually placed an advert in the papers welcoming "our amiable daughter and sister...to Rivers state and your home town Okrika." They also brought up the issue of "the land reclamation and shore protection project at Oba Ama, Okrika being undertaken by the Rivers state government." (Daily Sun, August 23, 2010, p. 2). Either on the strength of this advertorial or private consultations, Dame Patience must have felt compelled to be a partisan stakeholder and intercessor. She needed to put Rotimi Amaechi, the state Governor in his place and that was what did. She recommended "pleading," - that advice is actually meant for her. A state Governor is a duly elected official; and in a Federal system, he is not answerable to the President, and nowhere is the president granted the powers of a Headmaster over state governors.

In Okrika, Dame Patience behaved so impatiently and spoke to Governor Amaechi as if he is on the staff of the Presidency. It may not be her fault though. Amaechi caused it all by bringing himself to such level by undertaking to debrief Dame Patience about his administration's programmes and activities in the misguided hope of getting cheap political endorsement. He should have asked his wife to attend to her. On the issue of land, Dame Patience should be reminded that the Land Use Act, Section 1 thereof, says the state Governor holds the land in trust for the people. Land matters in the state are beyond the ken of the wife of the President!

The wife of the President of Nigeria, or a state Governor, or a local council chairman, is not a state official. The same applies to husbands if the gender is reversed. He or she is unknown to the constitution or the governance structure. Recent history has however made it a convention to have the spouses of persons in such positions under the guise of providing support, play some ceremonial roles. This has been routinely abused. Under the Jonathan presidency, Dame Patience Jonathan even got a special allocation in the original budget for the 2010 Golden jubilee anniversary whereas she has no official, financial reporting responsibilities! The international standard is that spouses in these circumstances must not only appear but be seen to be above board like Caesar's wife. They must not misbehave like Marie Antoinette.

When Cherie Blair, wife of former British PM, Tony Blair started buying up houses, apartments and antique furniture, the public raised questions. It didn't matter that she was a professional in her own right, a Queen's Counsel with a traceable source of income. There were also questions about the scope of Hillary Clinton's influence during her husband's Presidency: Americans wanted to be sure that it was the man they elected that was in charge, not his wife. A couple of weeks ago, the American public was up in arms against Michelle Obama and her poll rating dropped drastically after a visit to Spain where she and her daughter reportedly stayed in a $7, 000 a night hotel.

Much earlier, Nancy Reagan was also the butt of public criticism, with people asking: who is she? And this is not a female thing. In Britain, Prince Phillip, the Queen's husband, is constantly criticized for putting his foot in his mouth. He once said for example that "British women can't cook." He told a visiting Nigerian President, all dressed up in babariga (name withheld): "you look like you're ready for bed." During a state visit to China, he told British students: "if you stay much longer, you'all be slitty-eyed." Prince Phillip's supporters insist that he is honest, but the majority ask: how is the Queen coping with such a man who is perpetually saying something offensive? There may be persons who defend Dame Patience's aggressive style, but some of us ask: how is the President coping?

Since Dr Jonathan assumed office, he and his wife have been practically on the road. The Dame has traveled from one state to the other, under the auspices of the Women for Change Initiative. In every state she tells the women to vote and "make sure your vote counts if you like my husband." Is she now a partisan politician? The Jonathans must be told that Nigeria does not have a co-Presidency. We have only one president and his name is Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. And by the way, what does Dame Patience Jonathan do for a living? She obviously does not have to deal with the challenges of rotation and zoning in her home, unlike the three wives of the Adamawa Governor, Murtala Nyako for whom zoning and rotation have become topical subjects or the wives of South African President Jacob Zuma - that is why she can afford to be so meddlesome!

When she misbehaves as she did in Okrika, she creates the impression that her husband [Jonahan] is not in control of his own home. First ladies are prominent figures but their conduct is an eternal subject of public interest. In Nigeria, there was Victoria Gowon, there was also Ajoke Muhammed: dignified and restrained. There was Maryam Babangida - she was influential but no one could accuse her of verbal recklessness; Mrs Abdusalami Abubakar was a court judge, totally self-effacing, No major social party was complete without Mrs Stella Obasanjo, yet she controlled her tongue. Mrs Turai Yar'Adua was described as the power behind the throne and she proved that during the period of her husband's illness but she was carefully reticent. At the state level, there was Remi Tinubu in Lagos state and Onari Duke in Cross River state who have both conducted themselves responsibly in and out of office.

The new First Lady likes to travel, party, and talk outside the script. People are beginning to learn to read her lips in order to understand her husband. Dame Patience must not push her Goodluck.
