A civil society organisation, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate former Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), and other past officials, who have been accused of mismanagement, while in office.

This comes amid reports that Fashola spent N78m on a personal website, an action which has come under fierce criticism.
The Executive Director of SERAP, Mr. Adetokunbo Mumuni, in a telephone interview with the Punch, noted that past public office holders no longer have immunity, while urging Buhari to probe Fashola and others who are rumoured to be on the President’s ministerial list.
He said, “Fashola must give account for his administration. But I am not limiting this to Fashola alone. I am extending this to any person that Buhari may want to appoint to any position. Anybody that has any question to answer must be made by Buhari to, first of all, do that before he can be eligible for appointment into Buhari’s administration.
“If Buhari must make headway, whether the person is from PDP or APC, or he is an ordinary Nigerian who is affiliated with any political party, if he is considering such a person for an appointment, and there are allegations of crime against him, that person must be disqualified first and then investigated and prosecuted.”
