Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN, on Thursday faulted President Goodluck Jonathan, for inviting parents of abducted Chibok schoolgirls to the Presidential Villa for the purpose of sympathising with them.

He described the development as lack of empathy, saying Jonathan’s leadership style “has re-defined empathy by inviting the bereaved parents to the presidential villa for commiseration.

”Fashola stated this in Abuja while delivering a lecture on ‘The challenge of Democratic Governance’ as part of activities to mark the 50th birthday celebration of a former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva. He insisted that Jonathan’s attitude was

“Truly strange and Truly unAfrican”He asked,

“How does this sound? ‘

Hello neighbour, I heard you lost your child to abductors. Please come and see me at home so I can sympathise with you’.

“This is my paraphrasing of what has so far transpired. As if this was not bad enough, the event had been followed by another round of lies about whether or not they tried to give money to the bereaved parents. For me, it’s a low point for leadership, it suggests lack of empathy.

”According to him,
“The first lie when the news of the abduction broke was that all the abducted girls had been retrieved.

When that was exposed, the next lie was to raise doubts whether they were truly missing.

“When that was not enough, they are now telling us that they know where the children are. We are prayerfully waiting that they will bring the children home.”

Fashola, who had earlier canvassed for the active involvement of the elite in politics in order to provide necessary professional skill to drive the nation’s development, said,

“Until recently, we all used to think that our national development was inhibited by the fact that we never had a university graduate as leader of any national government in an executive capacity.

“This perhaps alludes only faintly to the issue of the elite consensus, but it is not the same.

Thankfully, the myth of graduate leadership as desirable as it is, has been exploded now.“We have two graduates (one zoologist and an architect) and I think the majority of Nigerians will tell you today that their lives are worse off than they were four years ago.

“So there is more to leadership than a university degree and educational qualification.

There is character, vision, courage, empathy, compassion and many more attributes that you simply will not find in a classroom or school.

They are in homes, in communities and also in the value system of society.”Fashola therefore encouraged politicians to make politics interesting and worth being participated in by the professional elite.He said,

“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, it is still regrettable that the majority of the members of our political parties and politicians do not yet include the critical elite of our society.

“Whether we like it or not, history has shown that the elite of any society, especially its professional cadre, and the very best of them decide the direction of the nation when they come to a consensus about the pathway for their nation, even if they belong to different political parties.

Where are all the people who have built things with their hands in our society?

Where are the founders of the big banks, businesses, telecoms in our body politic?

Are they just content to finance and yet remain unwilling to take the plunge?

“Are they willing to identify with the ruling party in Abuja, and the party in Government in their states when they get to their bases for fear of reprisals?” he asked.

This will never make front page. But the silly empty rejoinder is being debated on front page!

GEJ for 2015

samflexxy: GEJ for 2015

Mr man don't say GEJ for 2015 alone, always put it GEJ/SAMBO for 2015 because the VP is a humble leader, who don't interfere with other peoples problem

Fashola didn't add this:
:
The clueless GEJ had to wait for the go-ahead from a Pakistani teenager before he met with the Chibok parents and escaped girls.
.
Obviously, his countless number of aides do nothing other than wine and dine with gej, pat the hypnotised dunce on his head and shoulders and say: Well Done Mr President, You Did A God Job, Everything Is fine, Blame APC.

There is character, vision, courage, empathy, compassion and many more attributes that you simply will not find in a classroom or school.

This is where he Killed it(sorry him)!

[size=13pt]Fashola's ambition for APC's VP slot is making him go crazy. The man talks from his anus these days.

So, the corrupt Temipreye Sylva who is in EFCC's net is now his friend?[/size]

Goddex: [size=13pt]Fashola's ambition for APC's VP slot is making him go crazy[/size]

Why not dispute any of the points? Dunce!

It also beat me to the lows when Mr President invited those grieving people and paid them off!

Sad.

Fashola, always on point.

abokiigbo: This will never make front page. But the silly empty rejoinder is being debated on front page!

Only On Nairaland-A rejoinder would make Front Page while the main article which the rejoinder was made for, would remain in Obscure politics section. All in a bid to project a failed agenda which Jonathan's ambition represents!

Yeye dey smell badly!

Birds of the same father flock together Timipreye Sylva of all people ,drug addicts and pedophile talking like they know so much,Dunce clueless fashola claiming he knows much,where is the compassion in doing roads you can tax and abandoning the one's you cannot tax and use interlocking to do the remaing cos you don't care,in the country of the blind.

If only APC can just give this man the presidential ticket, I tell you 2015 would have been very interest in terms of debate. Can just imagine FASHOLA and GEJ in a presidential debate. Woow what a flogging!!!

I want a 21 gun salute for my honorable governor.

I love this guy!

Eko O ni Baje o!! :-)

Ebola on the rampage , yet no concrete action by the FG ,to prepare for the worst scenario .
They are busy looking for the rat at the airport with some ineffective Chinese made thermometer when the Ebola is already within the country.

Emphathy right? How about hike in school fees? Is that another form of Emphathy? Hypocrites.

as the president he has to interfere. But seriously what does fashola have against GEJ

Good job there, Fashola.

Learned persons are still the ideal for leadership positions in every society, GEJ's default defficiencies notwithstanding.

Mr man don't say GEJ for 2015 alone, always put it GEJ/SAMBO for 2015 because the VP is a humble leader, who don't interfere with other peoples problem

but can fabricate political lie like knowing Omisore since he was 20yrs.

jking001: Birds of the same father flock together Timipreye Sylva of all people ,drug addicts and pedophile taking like they know so much,Dunce clueless fashola claiming he knows much,where is the compassion in doing roads you can tax and abandoning the one's you cannot tax and use interlocking to do the remaing cos you don't care,in the country of the blind.

Its obvious intelligence is an alien to u for referring to Fashola as dunce and clueless.

I hope to see fashola in aso rock one day.

djfaithy: I hope to see fashola in aso rock one day.

. Good for you and your family. To finally bury Nigerians with obnoxious taxes here and there. For now no vacancies at Aso villa. Let him go back to the law courts and truly prove his SANship. A man who is good at focusing on the weakness of others while ignoring his own. How long did it take him to reverse increment of school fees at LAsu, is it when almost one third of the students had dropped out due to exorbitant school fees.thank God he is not recontesting in Lagos State as Governor.

All I wanna say is dreammmmmmm###
dream dream dream. keep on dreaming he will never be on that seat come 2015. Haters should suck the anus of a PIG.

And you, my friend, have your brain in your belly, and sh!!t a fraction of it out every time you stool!!

What part of what the gentleman said don't you understand?? Honestly, ask me and I'd explain. With the onset of your dysentery, I know your mental capacity would be running quite low right now, and comprehension could prove a very difficult task for you!
