Ministerial Screening: Read Fashola's Response to Question on N72m Website
Former Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, while undergoing the ministerial screening at the red chambers on Wednesday spoke about reports which alleged that he funded the development of a website with N72m.
Sen. Abaribe had asked him if he built a website with N72m, and what his concept of loyalty is following his perceived help in becoming Lagos state governor.
"As governor of Lagos, I didn't sign cheques. None of my commissioners signed cheques. I didn't sit in awards of contracts. There is a tenders board," he said.
"The unfortunate thing about money is that it always raises suspicion, even among brothers. In all, nobody has said I have personally enriched myself.
Speaking about loyalty later on, Fashola said "the concept of loyalty is a very strange concept. May our loyalty never be tested. If your loyalty is tested, you might end up taking bullet for your own children." "In public life, I have remained loyal to causes I have signed on to. Nobody can accuse me of going back on my words."
