Fashola Spends More Than 1.18 Billion Naira On Six Pedestrian Bridges In Lagos by erunz(m): 1:24pm On Aug 10, 2015
While discussing the more than 78 million naira spent for maintenance on the former Governor Fashola’s personal website, Mr. Stanley Achonu, the Operations Lead for BudgIT Nigeria, told SaharaTV that more than 1.18 billion naira was spent on only six pedestrian bridges in Lagos.

Babatunde Fashola, Lagos State Governor
Mr. Achonu revealed during the interview that the outrageous 1.18 billion naira was spent for the pedestrian bridges on Lekki Expressway and added “by Monday our team members will need to see if they are constructing those bridges.”

He added that, “I’m assuming as of now, that money has already been spent.”


The BudgIT team also learned this past week that in 2014 more than “330 million naira [was] spent for work on the house of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State.”

When asked whether BudgIT received explanation from the Lagos State government about this monumental waste, Mr. Achonu said “they don’t owe us any explanation…We don’t want to be contacted. They should contact the Lagosians whose money they used.”

BudgIT is an independent organization which reviews and evaluates Federal and State budgets in Nigeria. They also review the procurement and commissioning of projects in Nigeria to enhance transparency and report on corruption.

Someone very close to EX-governor Fashola is trying to pull him down. Forget politics, a close ally of this man is bent on denting his image.

Looks like someone in Lagos state does not want to see Fashola part of Buhari government. I smell Tinubu in this plot.

If these 'revelations' are true then there is no denting of one's image, it is rather exposing the truth at a convenient time for more sinister purposes. While supposedly encouraging transparency it is more likely an underhand tactic to get someone to bend or give in. Unfortunately if they are true then they can be proven and will stick as the obvious signs of corruption and embezzlement because his hands are not clean!

This is the reason selective justice is evil in itself. You either go all out or not bother at all. Don't throw perceived enemies to the crowd baying for blood while u shield cronies and friends. This is to the probing government that will selectively start from 2010 rather than 1999 or 2007 or even way earlier because some powerful allies will be indicted and exposed and knowing they're not particularly clean, they can't afford counter exposure. They rather pick n choose targets n times to pacify the mob...unfortunate I must say.

Ibos are trying to scuttle Fashola's chance of being the SFG so their son Onu can have a smooth sailing, and then turn around and say "Yoruba didn't get any position in Buhari's govt upon all their efforts oo" Tell me, who does these if they weren't nursed with hatreds from infancy and breastfed by the devil himself with satanic venom as tattoo ink chiseled deep in their cold hearts? and to what end? My Yoruba can't see any of this until it's too late. My people no longer have foresight.

Check out how many posts these town criers create daily to either demand for something from the Fg or governments in Yoruba region, no demand ever put on govts in their region, never. Everything is warfare to them. As far as they are concerned, they feel they are already in full blown war with the Yoruba, and everything is a weapon to them. Lying to themselves that they are better than a people they can't surpass in another 100 years is one, these people have lied so much that you wonder if they even know what truth is. It really is a tragedy, What a wasted lineage!

Fashola is a scam, a refined version of PDP, innovative looter. Politicians are hoes, they have no love for the masses.

@Emboldened. Its very sad and unfortunate that your only realising that the Yoruba kingdom has lost foresight. Let me help you.
The yoruba kingdom lost foresight sight since 1958. They have only rode on BETRAYAL which flows in their blood ever since to attain the acclaimed political heights.

Because the yoruba's has lost foresight like you rightly said,they can't even see the poisonous blood of betrayal within their veins. They can't even see they wickedly feeding each other with the same poisonous substance. Right now, its gradually flowing into their brains and making them delusional, they assume the igbos are responsible for their rot.

Maybe when you wake up from your delusion, you ll see the need purge your blood of tribalistic politicking and curses of betrayal.

Rubbish!!
