Yes of course, but I didn't experience his tenure. I wasn't born then. I know you'll go ahead and call me a millenial bla bla but I witnessed Fashola's governance, I liked what I saw, I give him a 70% performance rating. Can there be people who can do much better than him? Yes. But so far, I haven't witnessed any, and for the sake of Lagos progress and development, I don't want Fashola to be the best we've ever had. Let his successors accomplish in 4 years what Fashola couldn't accomplish in 8 years, for a greater Lagos.

Thanks sir.

Dantedasz:


What is your point. I am aware of the flaws.Do you want ME to start listing Fasholas' flaws.
Jakande had his flaws but you should learn that administration of government did not start when you were born. People sweated and set the foundation of the government of today.

Muttleylaff, Muttleylaff, Muttleylaff.



Anyway, I retired from having long arguments on the Internet in 2014, but I have 2 related questions for you and then I'm done with the thread.

1) In your opinion, was there anything that Jakande did wrong when he was governor (no ifs and buts) and can you explain what that thing was?


2) In your opinion, was there anything that Fashola did right when he was governor (no ifs and buts) and can you explain what that thing was?

Take care.

MuttleyLaff:
You asked for five, so I restricted myself to the limit. Do you see the magnanimity of the dividends of democracy from those five list enjoyed? Did you read what naptu2 posted about Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande being one of the best governors that Lagos has ever had (i.e. if not the best, but that's naptu2 not wanting to be truthful and committed. He was also conservative with LKJ's achievements)

Are you aware at all that the octogenarian Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande is still alive?


The thing about 989900, Ajibel, luvmijeje and others, is that you all are suffering from a Stockholm Syndrome situation and so have developed sympathy for the oppressors of Lagos State. Even in far way Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings, former Head of State and President of Ghana, just recently, has said that Nigerians are still in love with their "oppressors"

The Ethiopia-Djibouti railway line modernisation, was initiated in 2011 and completed in October 2016. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) who was among the contractors for this project is also the company appointed as the contractor for the construction of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue line. Now, the same China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) that was responsible for constructing the 339km railway from Mieso to Djibouti section of the Ethiopia-Djibouti heavy duty railway line modernisation, with a contract cost of $579m or 579 million USD is the same company contracted to build the 35km the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue line at $1.2bn. Started after Nigeria's own and finished it but the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue line is still crawling to completion, with the completion date kept kicked ahead in the tall grass

I'm not ashamed to say that Fashola is the only politician dead or alive today that I admire
- by Ajibel

You are forgiven for making a reckless declaration like the one above, celebrating mediocrity and a one eyed man in the land of the blind and ignoring the strides and foundations laid down by giants like LKJ.

Give Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi of Action Democratic Party (ADP) an inch and see how much miles he will take Lagos State to

Ajibel:


You believe Jakande made giant strides in Lagos. When he made those giant strides, were other states making such giant strides too or should we say Pa Jakande was also a one eyed man in the land of the blind?

But you believe Fash is overrated and did nothing.

Fashola built 5 IPPs in Lagos, was that nothing to you?
Fashola built the Lekki ikoyi link bridge that is now a signature for Lagos, does that mean nothing to you?
Fashola revamped and improved the conditions of Oshodi which was a nightmare, was that insignificant to you?

All his achievements while in government is well documented on his personal website tundefashola.com

luvmijeje:
And I've asked you that if Gbadamosi gets there, won't he also steal?
Won't he also inflate contract?

luvmijeje:
Is there a politician who's a Saint?

Are they not all thieves?

Until we have a system that can act as a check and balance, I trust no politicians.

[s]Abeg, stop dignifying that sentimental biased soul with a response . . . probably, Fashola snatched his wife or refused to pay his school fees, hence the bile.
Even his basic argument is so disjointed[/s].
APC basically rode on Fashola's sole successes to power (federal, state, and local).

Oya!!!!! MuttleyLaff, these are questions with many pitfalls.

MuttleyLaff:
I promise, I'll only read and wont reply back to your response(s) to my answer(s)

This is how arguments come about, and that's from exchange of opinions. I never do arguments and I prefer to state facts rather than give opinion(s) but on this occasion, will make an exception to that stance, so here goes:

1) In your opinion, was there anything that Jakande did wrong when he was governor (no ifs and buts) and can you explain what that thing was?
1/ In my opinion, and I am typing this with utmost respect, admiration and a heavy heart, I cant find anything that Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, a simple, selfless, humble, public-spirited and/or serving others man did wrong when he was governor of Lagos State and because of no ifs and buts, then so, have no wrong he did, to explain about.
You mean him bastardising the robust education system of that era was a plus for him too. It shows you are partisan, and what has the ADP candidate achieve on his own before aspiring to be the pilot of a mega state like Lagos.

2) In your opinion, was there anything that Fashola did right when he was governor (no ifs and buts) and can you explain what that thing was?
2/ I know, to be a fact that Fashola did the right thing of trying to get off the albatross around his neck. Yes, I can explain that the albatross thing, is polithiefician land-grabber Tinubu. Ambode, tried too, but it cost him dearly, his second tenure. Unlike Fashola who survived, he didnt.
There is fire on the mountain, he is not just denied a second tenure but now is being told to resign or be impeached. Rubbing salt into injury
