@ Op the Disgraced and discredited ignorant can't read and comprehend protection seeker.

Please when you are done with your latest idiocy and foolery, show us where Fashola or the commissioner signed any checks and last time the world checked, signing checks and the rubbish you posted are 2 different things..


Many of the nuisance wailers on NL post better half baked than you so you are a lousy and sub par wailer...

TonyeBarcanista:
That's not the issue oga... This your derail tactics ehn



Cc: Lalasticlala and Obinoscopy

Indictment is a technical term and substantial to break of law or violation of rules. If Fashola's action was under investigation the Senate, as the rule and law makers, shohld have put him under oath.

What he said is under record but it was not submitted under examination of guilt or lack of.

You are scandalous and turning a job interview into a legal cross examination. You are a fraud! How do you like to carry labels?

wailer....

Why is it that you lot cannot engage in constructive argument? What the op raised was quite intelligent and should be discussed constructively not this over used cliche "wailers''. must everything be about politics for you people. Why can't you for once ask critical questions as the op has intelligently done. All these politicians you guys are defending do they even know you exist? Just stop this and engage more constructively

You are compounding the problem for fashola with your stupidity. So if fashola and the commissioner didn't sign 'cheques' (yes cheques not checks) and 70million naira left the state account, what does that say of his administration?

Half-baked graduate. You think english is just using 'big abusive words'?

nigeria politicians and their propaganda

TIMEISWISDOM:
I watched in awe as Nigerians especially the educated youths were celebrating the ignorance of the senators and irresponsibility of Fashola.

I have always said it that Nigerians greatest problem remains poor educational system that churns out half baked graduates who can barely make rational decisions.
No wonder the ruling class will always tell us to our face that we are not yet ready to take over leadership.
Once he is our tribesmen, or on the good side of the majority in our immediate environment, we swallow whatever the said person offers hook, line and sinker without any thought.

The coming generation of Nigerians leaders could be far worse than the present!

And you think you've made sense with this writeup?

socialmediaman:
Well i expect you to be calling Ambode or EFCC to probe the said contract. Fashola's job is finished with Lagos, he did a great job which the world can see. Politicians cannot personally evaluate every contract that comes to their table, that's why they have ministries and boards inside those ministries. That contract was approved on the recommendation of the board, if inflated (which seems to be the case), then law enforcement agencies should conduct investigation at the board level to know who recommended and why that contract was awarded at the sum. If Fashola was still governor and this case had come up, i believe he would've ordered an investigation himself and penalized offending officials, therefore Ambode should do the needful, leave Fashola out of this.

I hear you all

basty:
You are a daft wailer. Can you compare Fashola to Oduah.
Idiotic bush fellow.

Aside your rant, what is the difference between what Fashola did and what Stella Oduah did?
Please answer constructively.
Thanks.

AUTOMATIC WAILING makes you look stupid. Review the facts and properly analyse the situation before complaining. Many of you never bothered to research these nominees, as soon as your uncles, aunties and pally-men didn't make the list you condemned people you didn't know. How many of you did I argue with about Audu Ogbeh's brilliance and passion for agriculture? Didn't I tell you anyone who didn't hire LAI Mohammed to manage his information in Nigeria of today is a slowpoke? No matter the slime they tried to pour on Fashola his intellect and ability shines through, Fash was the "class captain" of our last class of governors. Dr. Amina Mohammed Nko? Kemi Adeosun, Udo Udoma, Dalong, Kachikwu nko? This would be brightest sets of minds to sit in our cabinet for a while. Compare them to Abba slowpoke and Labaran Maku or was it Jerry Useni in the Abacha era? Biko Nigeria is moving ahead, you are free to sit at the corner and WAIL as our train leaves you behind. You can wait another few decades till someone from your tribe becomes the president again till you wish your country well, in the mean time you are free to remain BITTER. Next....

You MUMU! Fashola and Oduah who has more questioning issues? If you don't know, the car issue is the only accusation against Oduah.

TonyeBarcanista:
I've got nothing against Tunde Fashola as a person too. Irrespective of the performance credited to him, he must be made to account for his deeds.

Which deeds are we talking about, why are u flexing ur muscle on the subject matter, why are u so particularly about Fashola. If u like rant more than this e no carry water. People have embezzled billions in this country where are they, Becos of some millions that u have refused to carry out ur proper investigation about u are here disturbing our peace on nairaland Becos u think u know how to write, go ahead and stop him from being a minister now.

TonyeBarcanista:
At the ministerial screening earlier today ex-Lagos state governor Raji Fashola was asked a direct question regarding the N78million appropriated for the building of personal website. Here was Fashola's response...



While we all agree that award of contract is an Institutional process, FASHOLA refused to tell the Senate that the process is only finalised when the relevant commissioner in charge of the affected ministry append his/her signature as prescribed by Section 30(5) of Lagos State Public procurement Law (2011) which Fashola signed into law... In fact subsection 5 was very clear...

30.— (1)   There is established by this Law in each of the State’s Ministry, Extra-ministerial Office/Department/Agency, Parastatal, Corporation, a Tenders’ Board.

(2)   Subject to the approval of the Board, the Agency shall from time to time prescribe the membership of the Tenders’ Board.

(3)   The Tenders’ Board shall have power to award and be responsible for the procurements of goods, works and services within the benchmark set in the Regulations to this Law.

(4)   In all cases where there is a need for pre-qualifications, the Chairman of the Tenders’ Board shall constitute a technical evaluation subcommittee of the Tenders’ Board charged with the responsibility for the evaluation of bids which shall be made up of professional staff of the procuring entity and the Secretary of the Tenders Board who shall also be the Chairman of the Evaluation subcommittee.

(5)   The decision of the Tenders’ Board shall be communicated to the Commissioner for implementation. (EMPHASIS Mine)

Fashola Indicts Himself:
From the section (SPECIFICALLY subsection 5) it is expressly clear that the Fashola's administration through the affected Commissioner 'okayed' the contract to be awarded at that RIDICULOUS amount. We should also note that Commissioners are not elected but appointed by Governors and they report to Governors. That means the affected Commissioner must have reported the said contract to then Governor Fashola while reporting the activities of his ministry to his boss.

Looking at the defence that Fashola put up and placing it side by side with procedure, two things can be deduced;

1. Fashola was aware of the whole thing but deliberately LIED before the Senate to cover his track. He was fully aware of the deal. The job of the Commissioner is to ensure that contracts by the Tender Board is in the public interest. His/her signature is a testament of endorsement. Fashola as briefed but deliberately refused to revoke nor question the contract. In fact, he was silent about it until Ambode raised alarm. OR

2. Fashola was not aware thereby making him complacent of his duties as governor of Lagos state. If this is true (which is doubtful), then we beg to ask how many more inflated contracts went undetected by the Governor? This second is a statement of incompetence.

Both 1 and 2 are indicting if we look at them from any angle..

The 'I Never Signed Chequ' Holds No Water
The Fashola's 'I never signed cheque' statement is untenable anywhere. No Governor or Presidents signs cheque for the award of contract in Nigeria. There are Accountants that effect payment. What is required of the political officers is to APPROVE contracts for the Accountants to issue cheques. So why should Fashola use that as defence? Let me also remind all that NO Governor or President 'steal' or inflate contracts directly! The process to loot has always been INFLATION of contracts through relevant Commissioners/D-Gs etc.

It is however unfortunate that the Senate FAILED to ask relevant question but instead nod their heads in ignorance. It is very shameful that the same Nigerians that called for the head of Princess Stella Oduah over the N260million vehicle were singing Fashola's praise for the shabby defence that he put up.



May God Bless Us All

You were making sense until when the bolded was mentioned. Even if I am not an advocate of corruption, stella never contributed to the improvement of aviation industry. The news propaganda we heard in the past about her approving money to upgrade our dilapidated airports are lies.

What

Stella Oduah was summoned for an investigation looking into mismanagement. As a Federal Minister the Senate has jurisdiction on her accountability. She was put under oath.

Fashola was a State Governor, the Nigerian Senate has no jurisdiction on his case in Lagos State. Simple!

Please forget about that agbero cum photo-man. He is a beneficiary of the loots.

owobokiri:
One of the most compounding hypocritical realities of Nigerias politics is the brazen double standards deployed at every turn by some perennial clannish thinkers to defend their benefactors irrespective of his/her glaring shortcomings while castigating "devils" elsewhere. Totally nonplussing.. How else can you explain a situation where the same bunch of evil minds who yesterday were jumping up and down, celebrating the death of Almasiegha as a good thing for Nigerias fight against corruption end up constituting the group vociferously defending Tinubu while pushing Fashola.com as Obama and Kennedy rolled into one that will save Nigeria? This guy is totally corrupt, was caught with his hands in the cookie jar and held Lagos state down while a Tinubu injected with heroin raped mercilessly. Now you APC vagabonds will make him a minister while bleating "change".. Are you guys naturally this double-faced or you chose to be so

You don finish?

ibedun:
If only this OP and his ilks would concentrate their efforts on the Eastern States, they might have a home to go to, instead of constituting nuisance and miscreants in Lagos state.

Oduah must pay for her crime.

Get lost,!!!

Shallow minded fellow, your type don't go far in life! You are too outdated to mingle with civilized people

MayorofLagos:

Yes, but the citizens demands accountability and stewardship.

This show of shame by the upper chamber is really embarrassing. That the Senate lack mentally sound and thoughtful senators is mind blowing. These shows you the kind of pot belly politics that's goes on there with a bunch of brainless and slow-witted fellows called senators. Though am a change mantra, the screening was a kinda of laughable exercise with no in depth or tactfully questions or answers. An example was the answer given by Fashola(SAN), because He just color painted corruption and gave it a thick blanket by justifying his deeds by simply saying he doesn't sign cheques. Was he not the administrator. The answer gave an excuse for other corrupted ex governors simply cos all didnt sign the state cheques too.

He never indicted himself, he simply shifted the burden which is the very intelligent thing to do.

Firefire:
Yes, but the citizens demands accountability and stewardship.

Which citizens, of Nigeria or of Lagos?

Lol. This is amusing. You are reaching by calling that an indictment. Calm down bro. You do not have oppose EVERYTHING just because you are the opposition. This is one of those issues where your "opposition" reasoning falls short.

TonyeBarcanista:
Boss, yes I saw it. Ex-Gov Fashola was 100% insincere with his lame excuse. I wonder why no Senator figured that. This 8th Senate suck!

This APC dominated senate is the worse so far.

MayorofLagos:

Lagos State sir!
