A picture surfaced on the internet earlier today showing Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola and Rochas Okorocha, Imo State Governor, both members of the APC party pulling each other’s ears as a sign of unity between the two Governors.
The picture was said to have been taken when the two party members were at an event . In the picture, both men were seen jokingly tugging at each other’s ears and smiling.
Condemnations yesterday trailed Saturday’s decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delay by six weeks, the general elections slated to begin this week.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, the United States, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola and his Sokoto as well as Edo State counterparts, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko and Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, frowned on INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to postpone the elections despite his assurances that he would keep to the election timeline.
However, amidst the criticisms, President Goodluck Jonathan who welcomed the poll shift, allayed fears that the postponement could affect the sanctity of the May 29 handover date and rally support for the commission and the military to ensure that all the impediments to the successful conduct of the elections are removed by the new poll date. Like Jonathan, Senate President David Mark, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the party’s Presidential Campaign Council welcomed the postponement of the elections and hoped the new timeline would give the nation enough time to hold hitch-free elections.
Reacting to the extension of the elections at a press conference yesterday in Abuja, attended by party bigwigs, including former Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, Buhari warned that the APC would no longer tolerate further delay in the conducting the elections.
This is some serious reunion for the famous Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Fashola reunited with his CRK teacher from school, 38 years later.
Mrs. Felicia Iyabode Adefunke Akinola taught Babatunde Fashola Bible knowledge in 1976 at Birch Freeman High School, Surulere.
They reunited for the first time in 38 years following the Governor’s invitation.
