FASHOLA YOU ARE RIGHT! Fashola was right to have apologized; Nigerian is a federal state not a region. If the apology is taken for whatever reason or perception it is good for the record that indeed calm fray nerves of the Igbos by taken that giant stride. The governor knows that his action has no place in the constitution. If not, it makes nonsense of Nigeria amalgamation of 1914 and the declaration of the nation as a Republic of 1963. Then what then makes us Nigerian? Whether they are destitute or not so long as they live in Lagos for more than 10 years they are Lagosian and that is the constitutional language. What I expected the Governor to do at the time was to empower and re-orientate them back into societal setting. That epitomizes good governance and leadership. Fani kayode should not be reminded that the system might have encourage them into destitution, misery, penury, impoverish them, make them weak! The privilege few should not see the weak as destitute but make provision, palliative measures, engage them then solve this menacing problem. Little wonder if the likes of Fani-Kayode is in a position of public trust then it shows the kind of leadership we should expect, it is a pity that with his international clout and exposure that people like him are in this clime. Let us ask ourselves are the destitute Nigerians irrespective of where they are coming from? Do we discard them because they are not privilege like most of us? Do we bother to know what might encourage them into that terrible stigma of destitution? Do they have value as Nigerians? Is it not a general malady? Fashola has taken the right step in the right direction. I strongly believe that Governor Fashola goof at the initial and is good to have taken a U-turn of the situation. It is right, it is constitutional and a true Nigerian of conscience to have done that. It will be misleading, misconstrue, disintegrating, misnomer and a slap on Nigeria for Fashola to have remain on his earlier stance. Thank you my Excellency for this wisdom, a switch in time, saves nine!
