Former Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola appeared before the senate this morning for screening.

As expected, the former governor was eloquent and distinguished senators hung on his every word like school children.

See 20 remarkable things Fashola said during his screening:

”I cannot claim credit for my success in Lagos State”
”Before we increase taxes, we must optimize the capacity to get that which is in the place”
”Security is the toughest job a leader has”
“I felt responsible for every citizen who was robbed”
”We can redress political abuses, but cannot recover a life already lost”
”Nigeria has about 500,000 standing policemen. We are under-policed”
“State Police will create employment and curb domestic violence”
”We must commend our founding fathers for conceptualizing the creation of Abuja”
“The concept of loyalty is a very strange one. My prayer is that ‘may our loyalties never be tested.”
”As Governor of Lagos I didn’t sign cheques. I’ve never signed cheques, I didnt fix contract prices. Only training I have is as a lawyer”
“Nobody has alleged that I wrongly enriched myself”
‘I have remained loyal to causes I signed to. I stand by my word’
“Nobody can fairly accuse me of giving my word and going back on my word”
“The unfortunate thing about money is that it raises suspicion, even among brothers”
“Government should not get involved in needless disputes”
”The choices we make define the result we get”
‘This Nation has a lot of money outside its borders. Nigerians are investing more abroad’
“Those who want to benefit from the commonwealth must contribute to the common purse”
”The consequence to making the promises is the right to accountability”.
”The right to freedom is not absolute.It carries responsibility of not to be a nuisance”

Fashola is good, I wish he was the governor of Akwa-ibom when Akpabio was there and when oil was at it peak. The man is visionary.

I'm sure Akwa Ibom admires Fashola a lot.

seems many folks didn't understand

”As Governor of Lagos I didn’t sign cheques. I’ve never signed cheques, I didnt fix contract prices. Only training I have is as a lawyer”

So who approved the contract? Is it about who signed the cheque or who approved the contract?

This man is a genius

Your response hit the nail on the head. Who approved the contract? Fashola should be able to inform us. Maybe the Clerk in the Governors office, just to refresh his memory.
