Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola has
said Nigerians don’t appreciate their presidents until they are dead.
Fashola stated this as a guest speaker at the Yoruba Tennis
Club public lecture.
He blamed it on the poor understanding of the powers of a
president.
The former Governor of Lagos State also said lack of proper
interaction between the president and Nigerians was responsible for citizens
not liking their presidents while alive.
“Of all the Presidents we have had, Nigerians never loved
any one of them while in office; we seem to love them after they have left or
died.
“Why is that so? To me, the answer is lack of depth in
interaction.
“Nigerians are not sufficiently familiar with the
constitution and the role of which offices are expected to play. It seems to me
that we are expecting the right thing from the wrong place,” he said.
