The Senator representing Lagos East senatorial district, Gbenga Ashafa, is still gushing from what was adjudged as a lucid performance by the former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola on the floor of the senate on Wednesday, during the screening process for would-be ministers.
“I am particularly proud of the intelligence, poise and grace with which our own Former Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), conducted himself throughout his time addressing us in the Red Chambers. His thoughts and plans were illuminating as always. He represented Lagos State very well on that podium and will do very well in the Federal Executive Council. Of that, I have no doubt”, Ashafa said.
The senator also said APC leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has to share in the praise for discovering the likes of Fashola.
“The revered National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and Former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should be proud of himself on a day like this. It was his farsightedness and uncanny judge of character and talent that brought the likes of our Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed; Former Ekiti Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; and Mr. Fashola to limelight. These three are graduates of the Bola Tinubu School of Leadership and today, they are ministerial appointees. This is indeed a lifting moment for us all who have climbed on Asiwaju’s broad shoulders to our current heights in political and leadership accomplishments.
“May the Almighty bless our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and increase him in wisdom and good health”.
Senator Ashafa thereafter charged all the ministers who were confirmed by the senate to go forth and flourish in the Buhari led administration.
“While I recognise that the task before them is both herculean and complex, I am confident in their ability to succeed and set Nigeria on the path of greatness. With our fearless and visionary leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, at the fore of this team, ably supported by the erudite Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, I am more than assured that this new government will deliver on its promises and make our economy competitive and productive.
“For the confirmed ministerial appointees, may you be filled with all the strength and patriotism required to deliver on your commissions. Please, make our party and nation proud”, Ashafa said.
