But over time, that doesn't play out in Lagos State because you see different governors bringing their own different views.
S
43:02speaker_23AUDIENCE
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.
S
43:14speaker_23AUDIENCE
All of a sudden, WAPA used to cover disabilities, WAPA used to cover the beggars on the streets and everything.
S
43:19speaker_23AUDIENCE
But now that particular arm is silent and more like obsolete.
S

For me, it's about maximizing the quality of life of Ligotians.

20:23Jimi DisuHOST
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.
J
20:37Jimi DisuHOST
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.
J
20:45Jimi DisuHOST
And then Fashola became the governor.
J
20:47Jimi DisuHOST
And when Fashola was the governor, he was shielded away from politics.
J
20:53Jimi DisuHOST
So as a technocrat, he was able to face governance for the eight years that he was there.
J
20:57Jimi DisuHOST
That's what happened.

14:26Esther NwankwoHOST
So of course, the pro- the whole proposal for, you know, police to be decentralized had been up.
E
14:37Esther NwankwoHOST
If you remember from the time of former governor of Lagos, uh, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, he had actually pushed for state policing.
E
14:45Esther NwankwoHOST
He had talked about it at the time.
E
14:49Esther NwankwoHOST
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.

10:48Jimi DisuHOST
When we've had a good governor in Lagos, I know the kind of relief that I got.
J
10:55Jimi DisuHOST
A lot of people don't know that I'd never met Governor Fashola until after his tenure.
J
11:05Jimi DisuHOST
I was one of his biggest fans.
J
11:07Jimi DisuHOST
And of course, you know me, I didn't hide it.
