The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the president was accompanied by key members of his cabinet, among whom were the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke.
The Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku; Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi; Special Adviser to the President on Inter-party Affairs, Sen. Ben Obi; as well as the Chief Imam of Abuja, Alh. Musa Mohammed, were also on the entourage.
The governor and his wife, Abimbola, his sisters – Mrs. Arinola Fuwa and Miss Olayinka Fashola — their children and some members of the state executive council, were on hand to receive the President and his entourage.
In his remark, Jonathan described the death of Fashola`s father as saddening ,noting that the late patriarch left at a time when he was most needed to offer counsel that would assist to further develop the nation.
He, however, said the deceased lived a fulfilled life, and left enduring legacies behind.
“When we hear about the death of the father of the governor, I was very sad because we know this is a period that we need our parents most, especially parents that would assist us in handling a number of responsibilities.
“Mr. Governor, it is a sad thing for you to have lost your father at this time, but one must also thank God for the life he has lived. For those of us who are Christians, the Bible tells us we are supposed to live three scores plus ten,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

There are some of his deeds that are commendable. I wish he could put his wife in checks and do something urgently about the erratic electricity supply in Nigeria. He should forget 2015 if this is not done. The Lord will not allow darkness.

ReplyDeleteAPC member can not do this....bcs what APC is doing is politics of bitterness they dont have anytin to offer.....
ReplyDeleteIf you dnt have something to say in line with the content of the message, better u do asif u dint see the post instead of being bais. His visit has got nothing to do with politics but condolence to the deceased family.
DeleteWhat has APC got to do with this? I guess you have diarrhoea of the mouth/hand.If its a PDP governor that came then u can talk of APC but its the President for crying out loud,he has to be 'balanced' no matter what happens. And as for me, i think the President did well in aying Fashola a condolence visit but there is nothing spectacular in his visit #shikena!!!
ReplyDeleteDiarrhoea of the mouth/hand lwkmd....
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous 5:54 pleas tell me oh!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do not see why a reasonable person should relate this issue with APC or PDP.
Good one my president. Love your enemies and pray for those who despitefully use you.
ReplyDeleteFashola should be very careful of this GEJ, He has the tendency of perfecting evil. please safe your life and that of JAGABAN. GEJ will do anything to get you people down and kill. he new that the political arithmetic on ground is the Nigerian Westerner handwork, so be careful of GEJ. Period!!
