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


As expected, the former governor was eloquent and the senators hung on his every word like school children. At a point it seemed like Fashola were lecturing the senators, rather than a screening exercise.


Read 16 quotes which I find most remarkable.


”I cannot claim credit for my success in Lagos State”


“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”


“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 didn't 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”

inspired you to do what? Cook indomie?

I like the way he compared USA debt to lagos debt...lik they're the same. Lol. The USA employs 120k people every month to manage their indebtedness..fashola can't reach that number. The USA sells weapons amounting to $500m dollars monthly. Fashola can't dream of reaching that number..But they clapped for him when he gave that analogy.

What's "unforgettable" about these quotes? quotes from em Nicci, Ghandi... are easily forgotten but who's Fashola in the Anals of history? These quotes weren't invented by Fashola! I'm sure he had to do T.D.B for his Screening!
