For a while now, I have noticed and read many published political
stories on Lagos politics in particular and the personalities involved
that are either concerted, unsubstantiated, pure conjectures or outright
falsehood. In this instance, I reference a recent story ran by a major
newspaper concerning my successor and me.
There is no doubt political charlatans and enemies are at work
fueling unnecessary rumour and insinuations and seeking to drive a wedge
in an otherwise cordial and respectful political relationship. My
relationship with Governor Fashola remains cordial both at the personal
level and at the level of commitment to ensuring Lagos State remains on
the path of political stability, growth and development.
Whether Governor Fashola had a specific candidate or not isn’t the
issue here. What is important is to have a transparent process in the
spirit of democracy to which we both subscribe. We often debate, agree
or disagree. But when it comes to concluding on the interest of Lagos
State, we are on the same page. The current situation and issues around
the Lagos Gubernatorial primary are being overblown. What we have done
is ensure that no one is denied his or her rights to participate and
compete for any elective position. Such a disposition should not
translate into anger and divisiveness of the party as it is being
peddled. Conflicts and disagreements is part of every political process.
The capacity to solve these conflicts in-house and not on the pages of
newspaper is a tradition in Lagos.
We warn the people of Lagos state against speculative, self-serving
stories aimed at destabilizing the party and its leadership. The media
must be weary of accepting or publishing stories that seek to pursue a
narrow political agenda. Rather, they should make their paper a platform
for proper news dissemination and constructive analysis such that can
help our country tackle the current security problem, create jobs.
While we appreciate, recognize and respect the right of every media
house to publish any story, it is important not to be part of the
feeding frenzy and not to mislead the unsuspecting public.
At my age and with my level of political experience, I am expected to
seek for solutions, work for reconciliations and find a common ground
where disagreements exist. That is what I have dedicated myself to in
the larger interest of Lagos State and Nigeria at large. That is what
Governor Babatunde Fashola and myself are about. That is what Lagos
state deserves as Nigeria’s pacesetter in terms of democracy and
development.
