What Played Out When Fashola Appeared At The Senate

People have already started analysing how former governor of
Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola held senate ‘hostage’ today. Lol. According to
some Nigerians online, Fashola appeared more like a guest speaker than a senatorial nominee. There was utter
silence, maximum concentration as the former Governor spoke…

So many Nigerians have been saying beautiful things about
him, thanking the president for nominating him. Honestly, it’s not worth
fighting this man. There are some things that are more than politics, i.e…
intelligence! We need this more now, Nigeria needs it… We
need real men that can do the JOB! Not just figure heads.Fighting him in politics is really not worth
it. And the new uncle, really? Really uncle? Hmm, that sit na soldier go
soldier come o, na wetin you do we go talk when you go, not what your god
father is doing through you! Work, work, work… Nigerian youths of today are not
the ones of yesterday. And yes, we are not afraid to talk.

Back to the gist, saw so many tweets and write ups, but I picked
these two, they best explain what happened today. Go Fash! Go Fash!! Go Fash!!!
Intelligence over money any day anytime… Please continue…

  

Adekunle Salami wrote this on Facebook;

“I don’t sign cheques. I don’t fix contract prices, State
Ministries handle these.”

“My Knowledge of Abuja is not as deep as my knowledge of
Lagos. I have lived in Lagos all my life.”

“If we are afraid of abuse, start the state police. Not every
state should start if it can’t be funded.”

“We are under policed based on statistics and my
recommendation is decentralization.”

“As governor I felt responsible for every citizen that was
robbed.”

“Security remains the primary but toughest job a leader can
have; It was a competition.”

“Government exists to protect citizens and their assets
therefore criminals are my competitors.”

“Online Technology is a very versatile tool for tax
collection… moving to it would be important.”

“Before we increase taxes we must optimize the capacity to
receive what is in place.”

“Our Work in Lagos was a Team Effort, I won’t appropriate
personal responsibility for the Good Work.”

Then Dayo Williams said this;

“Is Fashola a guest speaker at the Senate today?

“Utter silence. Maximum concentration. Rapt attention.

“I like the way he links his divergent and varying ideas
together.

“He has a way of bringing them to a point of convergence for
the sole purpose of ensuring good governance.

“Before you accuse me of anything, I am a passionate fan of
the former Governor of Lagos State.”

Love me some Adekunle Salami and Dayo Williams. Lol
