The Senate on Wednesday asked Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) to resign his appointment if he was overwhelmed by the volume of work at his ministry.

The upper chamber accused Fashola of misleading the public over projects it added to the budget.

At the plenary, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Danjuma Goje said, “Initially, I wanted to come under a motion but, yesterday, the House of Representatives took up the matter. Since we are on the same page with the House, I feel I should not come under a motion. But I will like to seize this opportunity to advise the minister that he should remember that he is now a minister and should behave like a minister.

“He is not a governor (anymore) and this National Assembly is not Lagos State House of Assembly. This is an Assembly composed of very patriotic Nigerians, very experienced Nigerians; many had done his job; many were governors before him.”

Goje continued, “Fashola should know that he is dealing with the National Assembly of Nigeria, not of Lagos. If the job is too much for him – the ministry is too big; it comprises three ministries, which are works, housing and power; if he cannot adjust, then, he should do the honourable thing. He should so the needful.

“No amount of blackmail by him; no amount of propaganda by him or his surrogates will stop this National Assembly from discharging its duties in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. We have sworn to uphold and protect this Constitution, and this we will do to the end of this Assembly.

“For now, I will cease fire and watch to see how the House will handle him. If he is well handled there, we will leave him with them. But if we are not satisfied and they pass him to us, then, we will take him over.”

Saraki, in his remarks, said the Senate would wait for actions taken by the House of Representatives.

“I am happy that the House of Representatives are also taking up this issue. It is a matter that we must be responsible, especially those at the (executive) cabinet to look at issues from a national point of view in the interest of all Nigerians.

“We will definitely wait for the outcome of his appearance before the House of Representatives before further contributions. But we have take your comment, Chairman of Appropriations,” he said.

They are scared of the truth


Many of the legislaTHIEVES may find it hard to sponsor their campaigns in 2019 as far as Buhari remains the president


We can see how they are running from pillar to pole in defense of their crooked acts



May greatest Joy in Buhari's govt is that it is not business as usual,

God bless restore his health

If you know the level of corruption going on under this administration, you won't post this, the kind of looting going on will make u fall sick.. Just pray another administration comes in so you see what I'm saying.

Truth is the work is too much for one person. Everyone has to play his part but Nigerians dont understand that. They beleive that turning the country round is the job of people in positions of authority alone
More foolish are the likes of Fashola who believe they can change things around alone.

Fasholamy arse..The guy who was busy digging boreholes for 70Million is angry Ambode is now the guy in the limelight and he's becoming unpopular. To compensate for his loss of fame, he has to raise some dust. Overdoing it, he picked up the wrong opponent, the senators. What a disservice his speech is doing. I thought you thought he was Einstein and some people were puppets and he the golden hand. The only mind with creativity, it's nice to see the pig, that called some people pigs that wanted to play dirty receive the short end of the stick. Yeye guy.. Ojugo oshi...
