The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter has flayed the
Governor Babatunde Fashola’s led government over his directive to his
commissioners and senior civil servants not to grant the press interview
on matters of governance in the State.
PDP said Governor Fashola’s order shows that he “has skeletons in his
cupboard and desperate to cover up his misdeeds, even If he has to turn
the state into a fully Fascist State.”
A part in the communique signed by its chairman, Capt Tunji Shelle
(rtd), said the move was an attempt by the governor to conceal his
alleged inanities.

Shelle said: “similarly, such a step pre supposes that all is not well in Alausa and the Governor is panicking.”
The party chieftain added that such a directive can only be sustained
in a “fascist regime which the Governor may turn the state into if not
checked”, noting that “no wonder the Lagos State House of Assembly is so
slow to domesticate the FOI Act, which would allow private persons to
get information on the workings of the Government.”
Speaking further, Shelle added that: “we have said severally that
Governor Fashola is not on the seat to serve Lagosians selflessly. We
have equally stated too that the huge IGR, now over N40 billion monthly,
are being shared between the Governor and the ACN leadership.
“Now that the Governor is jittery and has come out to ban his
Commissioners and Senior Civil servants from speaking to the Press, then
he has admitted failure and misdeeds. We are now indeed vindicated.
PDP recalled that the same Governor had sometime barred certain media
houses from covering the State Secretariat, claiming that they are Anti
ACN-policies.
“We make bold to say that Governor Fashola is now obviously fatigued
of ideas to further govern Lagos State. He is now so overwhelmed by the
self imposed pressures and no more has original ideas for Lagosians.
“Lagos state is too sophisticated to be used as experiment. Rather
than become a ‘taiwan’ idea Governor, we advise Governor Fashola to
apologise to Lagosians and bow out honourably”, Shelle added.

My comment to PDP and whoever is challenging fashola's authority on this directive is that such a person or persons need to be well enlightened about governance.
ReplyDeletePDP just showed that they are very incapable of leading. When I read the news about Fashola directing all Public servants under him not to grant interviews except those approved by the Ministry of Information, I was impressed and I can see that he is practicing good governance. I work for a multinational company and is part of our trainings. You are NEVER to grant an interview unbehalf of the company or represent the company publicly except the directives to do so was granted by the Corporate Governance Department. This are the people trained to do so. So why will a comissioner or goverment official go out behind the state and be vomiting gibrish?
And Fashola clearly stated his reasons: This was because Projects or Goverment strategies and Policies which are still in incubation are being released to the Public. And he went ahead and said, anyone planning to hold a public function should get himself/herself cleared before speaking unbehalf of the state.
PDP, what's wrong in that? You guys are just bunch of uneducated criminals in power. You know nothing about governance.
Mr. Fashola, Kudos again to you.

Talk is cheap. Prove it. We all know that most, if not all of our public officers are crooks, but at least he has something to show for his years in government.
