14 Remarkable Quotes From Fashola's Ministerial Screening by Brytawon(m): 9:08pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Babatunde Fashola, the former governor of Lagos state, was the first to be screened today, October 14, by the Senate at the ongoing ministerial screening. Below are some remarkable things Fashola said during his screening. About tenure as governor of Lagos State 1. Our work in Lagos was a Team effort; I won’t appropriate personal responsibility for the good work. On Security 2. Security remains the primary but toughest job a leader can have; it was a competition, as governor, I felt responsible for every citizen that was robbed. We are under policed based on statistics and my recommendation is decentralization. 3. Government exists to protect citizens and their assets therefore criminals are my competitors. 4. If we are afraid of abuse, start the state police. Not every state police should start if it can’t be funded. 5. Security is the toughest job a leader has. I felt responsible for every citizen who was robbed. On Taxes 6. Before we increase taxes we must optimize the capacity to receive what is in place. 7. Online Technology is a very versatile tool for tax collection. Moving to it would be important, encourage productivity to increase income and revenue. About What He’ll Do If He Is Appointed Minister Of F.C.T 8. I will get a hold of Abuja’s resources and District problems. Include people who live on the fringes of the society. Though, my Knowledge of Abuja is not as deep as my knowledge of Lagos. 9. I will walk away from the tendency to condemn the level of development of our Country. 10. We must commend our founding fathers for conceptualizing the creation of Abuja. On Revenue And Income Generation 11. We are investing more outside our country than we are in the country which is the major challenge. This Nation has a lot of money outside its borders. Nigerians are investing more abroad. 12. We don’t borrow to pay Salaries or Buy Generators; we borrow for Capital Expenditures’. On The Relationship Of Younger And Older Politicians And Loyalty 13. Nobody can fairly accuse me of giving my word and going back on my word. I have remained loyal to causes I signed to. I stand by my word. But may our Loyalty never be tested. Advise To The Government 14. Government should not get involved in needless disputes. https://www.naij.com/604118-ministerial-screening-fasholas-top-15-remarkable-quotes.html/?nkem |

I can't comprehend why the OP included number 15 as one of Fashola's best quotes. The ex govenor practically implicated himself, with that ridiculous response. Every lawyer knows, it is suicidal to claim ignorance of a crime as his or her client's defence. As the govenor of a state, the buck stops at your table, you are responsible for every signature, every I and T. You can't just claim you have no knowledge of financial dealings, under your control. I was utterly embarrassed at Fashola's childish defence, first as a Yoruba indigene, from Ondo, and second, as a former supporter of the ex-govenor. PS: The northerners will rather give an arm and a leg, than make Fashola the minister of FCT. Fashola will get a subpar portfolio, like minister of education. |
