Good write up. But just one side of the story. I also learned that since he left as Governor, Fashola never visited Tinubu at least to say thank you for fishing him out from obscurity and making him who he is today. My brother, anybody I make my chief staff for 8 years and make Governor for 8 years and for one day you cannot even come and say thanks or pay homage... I will hate you forever if I can.

We all are human beings, thank a man for the one he has done and he will do more. Even God doesnt share his glory not to talk of feeble human beings like us.
Fashola felt that running to a federal power in Buhari will salvage the situation but it cannot. Why is it out of the many political sons of Tinubu he should be the one having this problem. He Fashola a proud and pompous man.even most of his projects as Governor were elitist.

That not withstanding, I think there should be peace between him Fashola and Tinubu/Ambode. It's a fight taken too far if actually he was purposely snubbed in Lagos. Two wrongs don't make a right. One was this can be done by Ambode naming an important road in Lagos after Fashola and inviting him to commission it and let by gone be by gone.

adelacuna:
The writer really makes a lot of sense. Fashola is way better than Ambide in terms of intelligence and in governance.

Bobby4090:


Future president in whooo? Is that not the man that boasted during campaign that a serious government should fix our power problems in 6 months. And after nearly 3 years he's in charge he is not even anywhere close to it.

I should read this long epistle?

abumeinben:
Anytime I talk about this ambode guy, people go dey look me.

The guy is performing far below what Lagos deserves, what Lagos generates. I've always seen him as a servant governor. Fashola had the guts to award contracts to bid winner, and not necessarily tinubu's Hitech construction. Although, fashola nor be saint o, but the guy get mind die.
Plus he focused his performance on wetin uncle Bill Gates talk, health and education, then security.

The post is not meant for re.tard like you. No wonder you people keep commenting nonsense on every thread because you are lazy to read the content.

Bobby4090:


He might be better than Ambode in terms of intelligence but definitely not governance...nor wisdom.
Intelligence without wisdom is zero. If Fashola was wise he would have known how to avoid such traps and give credit to whom its due. Sometimes your intelligence and degrees without proper application or being street wise mounts to nothing. How can you fall out openly with your political superiors and yet you have no political base to fight them.
That's why I also think Tinubu is wise. When people cried that Buhari has neglected him and ditched him he preserved and today its Buhari that's running back to appease him. Had he gone into open confrontation with Buhari last year they would have finished him off by now.
Same thing with Fashola, he didn't have patience and ran to Abuja to join anti Tinubu forces along with ex Ekiti governor. How do u think u can fight a man that made u governor for 8 years because u think Buhari is now your friend.
But in all they should stop the fight and reconcile. By the mere fact that Fashola came for the birthday shows he wants peace and should have been honored accordingly. It's not too late anyway. It's now up to Tinubu to reach out to him and apologize for that slight.

I am sure if it was an epistle of someone showing her bum or Bnaija, he would read as if he wants to prepare for an exam..

Suegbe!

apc don't deserve fashola, the same way PDP don't deserve akwa-ibom. fashola gave apc a stronghold from where they could launch attacks on the PDP. Apc used fashola's achievement to boast, and this is how they treat him? well I'm not surprised.
It is the way of politics

nellyelitz:
you've not explained to us your second point why/how PDP does not deserve Akwa ibom. If u know better you won't skip that one.

Pls come and complete!

Paradigm777:

I'm sorry. I'm going back to read it.

don't worry yourself, he talks anyhow. This how a pained relative of a non performer talks when his benefactor is edged out of an administration

It is the way of politics.

U prolly right

This is very funny and commendable at the same time.

Sheuns:
Truly Fashola could have ended Jagaban in 2007 had he decamped to another party. Fashola is the reason ACN/APC are strong in the southwest, not even Jagaban. Had Fashola not done a wonderful job in his first term in office, PDP will still be the boss in the Southwest. They just sidelined him for nothing. Jagaban is soaring on the oars of Fashola's achievement and success.

Japheth17:







lmao..........
I'm not even Yoruba to start with. so you really need a prophet to tell you that ambode has not done up to quarter of what fashola did. whether you like it or not fashola's achievement's will always be used as a yardstick to compare any governors (in Lagos) achievement's

LegitBoy:

Who was Fashola in 2007? Perphaps you meant after his first term in 2011. Truth is Fashola was very popular in 2011 after his first and had he decamped could have been a new song in Lagos presently. But then politicsids not mathematics. Alot of people will do worse if they are in the same position.

While I don't agree that fashola should have relegated being a former governor in the state and the pioneer of the project, this is politics too and it has its own rules of engagement.Consequent upon fashola's disagreement with Tinubu and he teamed up with the Northern cabals to rubbish Tinubu severally in the party. Wasn't that awful too? Tinubu is definitely no God but Fashola rose through Tinubu like many others too. So it is not a one way traffic thing. Fashola wanted Femi Hamzat to succeed him while Tinubu wanted Ambode.

This is a political disagreement brother and not mathematics that you can order a precise answer because there are many things beyond our forseeability.

akinszz:
yes it's propaganda to villagers like you, but to we in Lagos know his so called achievements.

PrecisionFx:



Like the abandoned rail project ...

With the borrowing of 2 billion dollars in 8 years with just uncompleted projects to show for it? ??

akinszz:
it still ongoing... not abandon... Mr shukwudi..

PrecisionFx:



LMFAO.

So what exactly did fashola achieve with the 2 billion Dollars loan he took and the hundreds of billions he got yearly as budget??

Offisial:

That's why you will continue to live in 'hear-say' you lazy thing

akinszz:
its a waste of time arguing with you mere villager.... provide evidence that he collected 2billion dollar loan. oh! that's d lies you are being told in the village abi?

emmie14:
This is betrayal by Ambode a Yoruba blood innate with betrayals. It runs in there blood. Babatunde Fashola though his fan also betrayed his boss Bola Tinubu . His hands are stained in the plight of Tinubu in APC today. Fashola selfishness contributed to Bola back sit in Aso rock
