A Lagos based human rights lawyer and activist, Barrister Fred Agbaje has revealed that Former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) scaled through the ministerial screening because of the Senate’s inability to ask relevant questions.

Agbaje in a telephone interview with greennews.ng over the weekend described members of the upper chamber as being “intellectually mesmerized” by the former Governor.

“If a man says he never signed cheque as a Governor, does that mean he is not corrupt? Is it only by signing cheque that you can become corrupt?

"Fashola intellectually mesmerized those Senators. The questions those Senators was asking were irrelevant questions. Hard core questions which they supposed to have asked weren’t asked”.

He explained that Fashola eloquently exhibited the attributes of a lawyer, asserting that a Lawyer cannot be found wanting.

He said: “What do you expect of a lawyer? He has displayed the lawyer in him. A lawyer must not be found wanting. The Senate could not even ask him any question because they were intellectually mesmerized by his responses.

He added, “As far as I am concerned, the Senate lacked good questions; they refused to hit the nail on the head. And this is the same Senators that have held the whole Nation to ransom with empty promises”.

Speaking on Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi who claimed he was never indicted on the ground of corruption during his tenure as the State Governor, Agbaje said: “Amaechi said the report of the tribunal did not indict him. But it indicted his regime which he was the head. I expected the Senate to look deeper and ask further questions. He said he wasn’t directly indicted but his administration was indicted and he was the head of that Government”.
