A former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi
Fani-Kayode, has advised the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Mr.
Babatunde Fashola, to go and make peace with his former boss, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu.
Fashola, who has been in the news for
spending N78.3m of taxpayers’ money on a personal website,
www.tundefashola.com, and for spending N139m on the drilling of two
boreholes at the Lagos House, Ikeja, is believed to be at loggerheads
with Tinubu.
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress
who are loyal to Tinubu were also absent at a book launch held in honour
of Fashola last week, fuelling speculations that all was not well
between Tinubu and Fashola.
However, Fani-Kayode, who was the
spokesperson for former President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election
campaign, said in a Facebook post that Fashola should go and beg Tinubu
before things get messy.
He wrote, “Things are getting messier by
the day. My advice to Tunde Fashola is to go and make peace with his
benefactor, Bola Tinubu, before it is too late.”
Meanwhile, a group, Lagos Indigenes
Network Organisation, has dissociated Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, from the scandal rocking his predecessor.
Some groups loyal to Fashola had fingered
Ambode as the brains behind the revelations especially since the
information detailing the contract which has generated widespread
criticisms from concerned Nigerians was made available by the Lagos
State Public Procurement Agency.
But LINO’s Executive Secretary, Fouad
Ade-Basorun, said in a statement that since his inauguration on May 29,
Ambode had busied himself with developmental projects in the state and
had no time in trying to tarnish the image of his predecessor.
