His Excellency, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, of Lagos State
Governor Fashola of Lagos States has condemned the actions of the soldier who vandalized BRT buses in Palm-grove area of Lagos. Speaking with Chanel Television, the Governor calls the incident "very disappointing", noting that these are public servants who being paid with tax payer's money and should not behave in such an irresponsible manner. He is however waiting on formal report from the investigation which will help him decide on what to do.
Here is what Governor Fashola said......
"I spoke with the Brigadier General who said he was managing and controlling the situation. Nothing i have yet is verified. I am waiting for a formal report before we then can ventilate a position. There is allegation that somebody who was not suppose to be on the BRT route was on the BRT route. As far as I know, If something happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful act, It's a criminal offense in it's own sense. It's really disappointing to put it mildly that public servants, and that is what soldiers are, paid with tax payers money will act in a manner that is being suggested here, and I say this being suggested because I am waiting for official report to let me know really who played what role, what happened, whether or not even the brigade commander has been able to identify the people who were involved....but if it turns out to be true, It will be a very very irresponsible conduct to put it mildly" he said.....
