Some support groups had taken campaigns to parts of the

But the minister had denied having any affiliation with the
support groups.

focused on delivering the mandate of his ministry and would not be distracted.
“As Honorable Minister, Mr Fashola is currently focused on leading his dedicated Team in the Ministry of Works and Housing to deliver on the mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari for an expanded and upgraded road transport infrastructure; and affordable Housing nationwide in order to achieve economic growth and prosperity for the citizenry,” Bello had said.
