by Damilola Jagun

Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola wants President Jonathan to disown the inciting comments credited to his wife.

Fashola believes that it is imperative for the President to publicliy dissociate himself from Patience Jonathan’s recent utterances.

The governor mae the statement on Wednesday, March 11, during a courtesy visit by the officials of NHRC at the Lagos House, Marina, led by its chairman, Odinkalu to seek the his support on the need to avoid violence and ensure free and fair contest in the forthcoming elections.

“When some people say if the president did not win an election, this will happen and the president kept quiet, what message is he sending to Nigerians? He is telling us that we are not safe if he doesn’t win. The president must speak up and reassure Nigerians that the country must be safe no matter the outcome of the election. That is his responsibility.”

“It is not enough to sign a peace accord but to act it. If the president wants to campaign in any state 24 hours, he is allowed but there are things he must publicly dissociate himself from.”

“He must publicly dissociate himself from his wife’s inciting comments, he must. He must disown them and his leadership will be defined by whether he does it himself or ask his aides to go and say it. When all is said and done, this election will define his tenure for many reasons.”

  1. I expect Fashola to concern himself with the allegation leveled against him as Tinubu’s partner in corruption by the documentery of AIT, Since this talk about documentry Tinubu and his allay in corruption Fashola has never come out clean instead Tinubu headed to court to divert attention,AIT produced those documentries with facts that is the reason for this mute,I am suprise that all the human right groups and some well known wistle blowers activists like Fanana, wole Soyinka with his long sporadic grammer are keeping quite, and this is to show how patial and biase all this our south west activists and wistle blowers could be,This is deceit and hypocrisy in the highest order that this Masqerade behind Buhari shouting corruption and change has been unmasked looking at the can of worm exposed then GEJ and his team are angels,This evil politicians are taken Nigerians for granted. Is it not going to be sucidal to hand over Nigeria to a party that the leadership is dangerously corrupt like Tinubu, is like jumping from frying pan to fire,I pray that GOD will help Nigerians to decid wisely and not to be carried away.
