I won’t give account of my administration in newspapers-fashola

 Past governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, said yesterday that he will not be forced  to give account of his Administration on the pages of newspapers.

Fashola said this during a question throwback and answer session at the 16th Bishop Mike Okwonkwo annual lecture series,His statement was in returns to a question by a journalist, who asked the former governor clear the air on allegations trailing his tenure.
There are series of several allegations on fashola tenure since he left office, including award of a bogus amount of money to set up a personal website and construction of two boreholes in the Government House.
  Fashola also condemned people’s apathy to participate in electoral system, lamenting that out of 5, 822, 207 Lagosians who registered for election in 2015, only 1,284, 577 people, representing 25 per cent of the voting population, actually voted in presidential election while 22 per cent voted in gubernatorial election.
On payment of tax, the former governor  lamented that out of about nine million people employed, it was half of that population; 4.5 million that are actually paying taxes being used to run the state.
