COMRADES, I don't think that Fashola deserves the appointment

The best governor Lagos State ever had, after Mobolaji...

We thought he could do the same in power sector, but MAALO People frustrated him.

Congratulations sir.

And that's after Lateef Jakande.

Yea Emilokan was waiting for him to come and grovel at his feet and ask for forgiveness for perceived disloyalty lol.. Ambode and Osibanjo should move on too and not lower their standards to mediocrity level just to please the bourdillon tin god that doesn’t appreciate excellence

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We, the people of Nigeria, gladly donate our minister of darkness.
He will not disappoint your expectations.
Be prepared for darkness wherever you are.
But if you are not sure of the darkness, you can have him for keeps.

None of them did what that woman doctor did by preventing Patrick Sawyer, the ebola carrier from forcing himself on Nigerians to spread the infection. Sadly she paid the supreme price.

To imagine that she was the great grand-daughter of Herbert Macaulay the pioneer statesman. She gave her life and preserved a legacy that still speaks even in death.
A good man is known by his offspring.
From Samuel Ajayi Crowther to Herbert Macauley to Dr Stella Adadevoh
3 generations
3 great people.
This our current breed will never be able to equal that in spite of their insane wealth and "prestige"

According to the article, the key role Barrister Fashola played in dealing with eBOLA earned him that position 💪💪

Only for eBOLA to return in more devastating and uncontrollable form in MAY 2023; now ravaging the entire the country.

I will never forget that period. Goodluck Jonathan coordinated Onyebuchi Chukwu, Babatunde Fashola and Labaran Maku. These guys took exceptional steps to the point that CNN said America needed to learn how to manage disease outbreak from Nigeria.

Congratulations to BRF and rest in peace to Stella Adadevoh

Bull shit
Late Dr. Dedevoh then did what.....
BRF heading in the wrong direction once again....then he come make an abracadabra statement.....we still remember.

The Jagaban political family keeps getting larger while opps keep diminishing.

I dedicate "Gold" by J Hus feat. Asake to him.
Great jam!

who and who are in this "jagaban political family"?

are you a part of this family?

RIP Adadevoh

Fashola the Tinubu protege you love to hate or have you stopped hating him.

who are the other "proteges" of tinubu?

what positive impact did fashola and other proteges have on nigeria?

are you one of the proteges?

Tinubu boys making waves. I am yet to hear of anyone groomed by obi or Atiku

Tinubu indeed is a true godfather

I knew that one unhinged fellow will immediately list it among the achievements of Emilokan

This great liar!
A serious government can give Nigeria constant power supply within 6 months

Nonsense

That Woman, Dr. Stella Adadevoh, should have been immortalized in Nigeria by naming a Federal health Agency after her (Abuja HQ of Federal Ministry of Health, FMC, Abuja, Teaching Hospital, etc).

I wonder if her being Igbo has to do with this inaction, yet they keep naming everything after Tinubu?
Uuuuh eee hep?

This is the man that built Lagos and not the other great grand pa claiming to have built Lagos yet lost woefully to obedient family.

Lol basically he has been appointed to help them secure juicy federal government health related contracts from where he geta a cut from the deal

COMRADES, I don't think that Fashola deserves the appointment

why?

SmartPolician:
Former Lagos State Governor and ex-Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of Resolve to Save Lives Nigeria (RTSL Nigeria), an international public health organization.

This is a Nigerian NGO.
Why give the failure in state and federal governments, a position in an international NGO?

Jonathan is the one who had the best brains in his administration, and many of them moved on to international positions after ebilokan replaced his fellow southerner with a clueless northerner Buhari, whom he called expired in 2011!

No wonder Jonathan continued PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies for widespread prosperity and high employment productivity of 16 years.

How did we fall into APC extreme poverty trap 10 years ago? How did we

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

So what would you say about Mobolaji Johnson, the first governor of the state from 1967? Or the progressive UPN governor, Jakande? Even Awolowo, who was Western region Premier for six years before independence. The region included almost all of Lagos State except for the small FCT, which started around Jibowu, Yaba to Lagos island plus Victoria island and Ikoyi.

Fashola and his ebilokan are propaganda specialists who used various tactics to manipulate people to squeeze them out of their own pockets to grow IGR revenue without commensurate impact on government services and public utilities, from adequate number of well paid civil servants. A lootocratic master plan is what Ajẹnirun Poverty Conmen, APC are using for 20 million Lagosians since 1999!

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

Congratulations sir.

Alhaji Lateef Jakande was the best governor of Lagos State any day. What Jakande achieved in Lagos State within four years , no other governor ever achieved that. That was the time when we had politics of service, not like now.

Congratulations Baba T.

We all wonder when you people will ever stop this "model" lifestyle..

Why can't you guys ever be matured?

You people make this forum so unpleasant

The particular individual you quoted is a known deviant in this forum.

I'm guessing he is as old as peller.

An adult can't possibly behave and write that way all the time even when serious issues are brought up

Hmmm ....appointed to a local board ... international appointment. ... because another board member is based abroad? Word abuse everywhere

Fashola the Tinubu protege you love to hate or have you stopped hating him.

A protégé abandoned by his godfather is an expired protégé.
But Tinubu’s pettiness is so dumbfounding. How can he find this guy worthy of governorship in Lagos State but unworthy of a ministerial or board appointment because he wants to be the only one shinning. Such a terrible mentor

Yes, and that was Because none of them played politics with Ebola. Today the case might just be different, any national matter which needs strong leadership resolve to address it, party matter go join come spoil everything.
