Gbenga Ashafa, representative of Lagos east senatorial district at the national assembly, has commended Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos state, for his performance during the ministerial screening.
Ashafa said Fashola, alongside Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state and Lai Mohammed, national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who all performed brilliantly are “graduates of Bola Tinubu School of Leadership”.
“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,” read a statement issued by the lawmaker on Thursday.
“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.
“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.
“As 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!”
