Those trucks are being leased by the government.
Gbadebo Rhodes-VivourGUEST
45:26
Under Governor Fashola, we had about 1,000 trucks.
Gbadebo Rhodes-VivourGUEST
45:29
Now we are putting out about 200 trucks, which is not enough.
Gbadebo Rhodes-VivourGUEST
45:33
So solutions.

42:56
But over time, that doesn't play out in Lagos State because you see different governors bringing their own different views.
speaker_23AUDIENCE
43:02
Now, how do you hope to ensure continuity, especially in the area of persons living with disabilities, sir? Remember Wapa in the days of His Excellency Fashola, Governor Fashola.
speaker_23AUDIENCE
43:14
All of a sudden, WAPA used to cover disabilities, WAPA used to cover the beggars on the streets and everything.
speaker_23AUDIENCE
43:19
But now that particular arm is silent and more like obsolete.
speaker_0GUEST
46:14
So I'm not coming to dismantle or discontinue anything.
speaker_0GUEST
46:18
For me, it's about maximizing the quality of life of Ligotians.
speaker_0GUEST
46:22
So if Governor Ambode, Governor Fashola, Governor Sonolu did anything that's remotely good, we are going to continue it.
speaker_0GUEST
46:29
Even we will bring them to come and help us cut the tape.
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST

Put, uh-
Noble EyisiHOST
21:02
Fashola.
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST
21:03
Yeah.
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST
21:04
Put f- the Fasholas, put, uh-

21:07
Ambode
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST
21:07
...
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST
21:15
the one running, uh, Makinde.
Gaius ChibuezeGUEST
21:15
The average Igbo person is going to vote for those people against these two Igbo people I mentioned now.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:23
And even if we are going to have this kind of system, we must make provision for somebody like a prime minister or somebody who has the capability now, just like he did when he was in Lagos.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:37
Once he was the governor, and that was why it was easy to hand over to, when Fashola became a chief of staff, then you could see that things got slightly better.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:45
And then Fashola became the governor.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:47
And when Fashola was the governor, he was shielded away from politics.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:53
So as a technocrat, he was able to face governance for the eight years that he was there.
Jimi DisuHOST
20:57
That's what happened.
Joseph EdgarGUEST
21:47
So I got 50 very prominent people to contribute essays in that book.
Joseph EdgarGUEST
21:51
So we have people like Fashola, people like Oyinsola, Jaiyeslan, those kinds of people.
Joseph EdgarGUEST
21:57
Uh, Tedum Pittiside and all of that.
Jimi DisuHOST
21:59
Hmm.
Osagie AlongeHOST
60:31
Who is that?
Steve DedeHOST
60:31
And that's Fashola.
Steve DedeHOST
60:32
Fashola.
Steve DedeHOST
60:32
'Cause I've been thinking about this domino effect.
Steve DedeHOST
60:36
Who, where will his place be?
Emmanuel IreHOST
40:23
You heard that name before? Yes.
Emmanuel IreHOST
40:26
Babatunde Fashola.
Emmanuel IreHOST
40:27
Have you heard that name before? Femi Bajamila.
Emmanuel IreHOST
40:33
Have you heard that name before? Yes.
Esther NwankwoHOST
14:26
So of course, the pro- the whole proposal for, you know, police to be decentralized had been up.
Esther NwankwoHOST
14:37
If you remember from the time of former governor of Lagos, uh, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, he had actually pushed for state policing.
Esther NwankwoHOST
14:45
He had talked about it at the time.
Esther NwankwoHOST
14:49
And, you know, there's also the place of the proposal, uh, regaining momentum as the Nigeria Police Force struggle to address widespread insecurity, like we talked about, you know, before this hour, including terrorism, rural banditry, former, uh, farmer-herder conflict, and mass kidnappings.
Sheriff QuadriHOST
1:30
Mm
Kofi BartelsHOST
1:30
... by my own estimation, um, have been in- well, Marwa has, was nice, but Fashola is still the leader of the pack.
Sheriff QuadriHOST
1:38
That's right.
Kofi BartelsHOST
1:39
And he's an indigene.
Kofi BartelsHOST
1:55
His character, his upbringing.
Sheriff QuadriHOST
1:57
Yes.
Kofi BartelsHOST
1:57
It's, and that is one of the, when you look at performance of a man like Fashola-
Sheriff QuadriHOST
2:02
Mm.
Jimi DisuHOST
10:48
When we've had a good governor in Lagos, I know the kind of relief that I got.
Jimi DisuHOST
10:55
A lot of people don't know that I'd never met Governor Fashola until after his tenure.
Jimi DisuHOST
11:05
I was one of his biggest fans.
Jimi DisuHOST
11:07
And of course, you know me, I didn't hide it.
