A former National Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Chief Bode George, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to take
his anti-corruption war to the next level by probing the last two
governors of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Mr. Babatunde Fashola
(SAN).
George said in a statement that it would be wrong of Buhari
to claim to be spearheading an anti-graft campaign and at the same time
be considering Fashola for appointment in the light of the N78.3m of
taxpayers’ money Fashola spent on a personal website,
www.tundefashola.com.
He said Fashola’s excuse for spending N78.3m on a website was disgusting and should be rejected.
He said, “We are living in a very interesting time. There
is an air of repugnancy everywhere most especially 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.”
George said many of the projects undertaken by the Fashola
were done at exorbitant prices. The PDP chieftain wondered how the 1.6km
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge could cost N29bn.
He added, “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!”
George said in a sane clime, Fashola would be facing
comprehensive investigations rather than being considered for any
appointment in the light of the over N419bn debt incurred by the Fashola
government.
He said the All Progressives Congress-led Federal
Government would do well to start implementing its promise of change
from within.
George said, “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!”
George said there was no way Fashola would be probed without probing Tinubu because one was the creation of the other.
He said, “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.”
All attempts to get Tinubu’s reactions proved abortive as
calls put through to his media aide, Mr. Sunday Dare, were not responded
to.
