After a long silence, a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has opened up on the ongoing
corruption allegations hanging around the neck of his successor, Babatunde Fashola.


In a statement issued on Wednesday, Tinubu
distanced himself from Fashola’s ordeals, saying
that he was not working against him from being
appointed by President Buhari.


Fashola has been a major public debate lately
following the shocking revelations that he allegedly
mismanaged taxpayers’ money in Lagos.


First, it was alleged that the immediate past
governor lavished over N78m on his personal
website.


While many were still trying to recover from the
shock, the current government opened another
‘book of revelation’ where it alleged that the ex-
governor also spent over N139m to renovate two
boreholes.


However, many have fingered the APC leader,
Tinubu of championing the allegations against
Fashola just to deny him of federal appointment.
But Tinubu who governed the state between
1999-2007 has denied knowledge of the
development, saying that he was proud of
Fashola’s monumental achievements in Lagos.


He said, “An attack against the performance of
Governor Fashola is indirectly an attack against me
and the edifice of achievement we have constructed
in leading Lagos state out of a protracted time of
stagnation and into an era of sustained progress
and development,” said Tinubu.


Tinubu also accused opposition elements of a
deliberate attempt to sow discord in the APC by
peddling falsehood.


“I for one will not bend to the artificial provocation
of those seeking to tear at what we have
painstakingly built over the years,” he said.


“In my mind, Governor Fashola and I are and shall
always be political allies and fellow travelers on a
vital journey; that alliance is unshakable and our
journey must not be interrupted. I would no more
attack his character or his administration than I
would attack myself.”


Tinubu further admitted that he was the one who
brought Fashola to where he is today.
”I am proud to say that I played an instrumental
role in bringing Governor Fashola into politics in
the first instance,” he continued.


“He served as my trusted chief of staff, performing
excellently in that role. Due to his leadership
qualities and diligent work ethic, I endorsed him
for governor notwithstanding the stiff and vocal
opposition of many. I am not ashamed of backing
him. I believe the progress the state made under
his administration has more than vindicated my
endorsement.


“Fashola, the present Governor Akin Ambode
including myself are the products of a progressive
political institution and its programmatic
expressions. I laid the governance foundation and
started the first lap, running as well as I could.
“I handed the baton to Fashola, knowing he would
do the same. He did; he ran as well as he could.
Now, he has handed to Ambode who is off and
running as well as he can. We have achieved
much in Lagos; but, we recognize as much as
anyone that we have much more to do.


“We also know that progress is fragile and easily
undone while destruction is easily transacted but
hard to undo. I for one am not the type to tear
down my own house or to bring my enemy’s
rubbish into it.”


“Those who are against us were never placed in
fear of the heavy hand of government descending
on them even as they played funny tricks,” he
said.


“We also must remember than in any democracy, a
number of people will always oppose you no
matter the quality of your performance. If an office
holder has an approval rating of 70 percent, this
means, in Lagos, roughly five million people dislike
the person. Also remember the PDP is just
recently out of office at the federal level and that it
built a vast, unprecedented financial war chest to
contest the elections.


“The residual of that war chest is still at work,
buying media space to plant rumors in hopes of
spreading discord through the APC. Thus, the
enemy camp may be a minority but it is a large
and well-funded one that knows its only chance
lies in us attacking ourselves,” part of the
statement obtained by DAILY POST read.
