The immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde
Fashola, on Thursday refused to answer questions on the allegations of corruption
levelled against him. Fashola was alleged to have spent N139m on two boreholes
at the Lagos House, Ikeja, and another N78.3m for the upgrade of a personal
website.
The former governor, who was the guest speaker at the 16th
Bishop Mike Okonkwo Annual Lecture, urged Nigerians to ensure that they hold their
leaders accountable always. The event, which was held at the Shell Hall of the
MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos Island, was titled, ‘The Nigerian political Class
and the Citizen’s Quest for Good Governance.’
The governor said most Nigerians failed to hold their
political leaders to their campaign promises
after elections.
