PDP
Chieftain Bode George has asked President Buhari to probe the administrations
of former Lagos state governors, Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola. In a
statement released yesterday August 19th, Bode George said Buhari cannot claim
to be fighting corruption and not investigate the circumstances surrounding the
controversial N78 million tundefashola.com website.
"We are
living in a very interesting time. There is an air of repugnancy everywhere
most specifically in my state where the immoral stench and the dark odium of
Mr. Babatunde Fashola’s administration is daily being unearthed.
What is most disgusting
and annoying in all these is the arrogant and the befuddled attempt of Mr.
Fashola to justify the apparent reckless misappropriation of Lagos state
taxpayers’ money to set up a personal web site. Fashola shows no remorse, no
semblance of regret, no guilty nudging of conscience. Instead, he still
attempts to ride a high horse, puffing and stomping in feigned seraphic
innocence. We are not fooled. We knew all along that the emperor had no
clothes. Using N78m of taxpayers’ money to build a website is reckless
misappropriation.
The phony over N29bn used to build a mere kilometre long link
bridge is outrageous venality. “The spurious N1.5bn allegedly spent on phantom
pedestrian bridges is another con game. And there are so many of these
screaming illegalities observable in the record of our poster boy of
yesterday!.
In a more just society, Mr. Fashola should be facing a
comprehensive investigation rather than being considered for any appointment at
all. President Buhari should use the Fashola case as an acid test of sparing no
one with any intimation of public malfeasance. Rather than engaging in a smug
chest beating of innocence, Mr. Fashola should first remove himself from any
consideration of public appointment and openly call for a judicial probe of his
eight years in office.
Nothing else will bring out the true picture. Lagos
State is now the biggest debtor in the federation with over a trillion naira in
bad debts. It may take at least 40 years before Fashola’s indebtedness can be
defrayed! What a malady!. In the end there is no way to divorce Fashola from
Bola Tinubu.
They are both linked in unutterable complicity. If Fashola stands
today in tarnished allegations, Tinubu, his godfather, cannot possibly distance
himself in innocent escapism. If Fashola now rots in the mud, we must look
through the depths to understand the instigating and factor. Whenever Fashola
is cooling his feet at the interrogation centre, Tinubu should not be far
behind.””he said What is most disgusting and annoying in all these is the
