Fashola’s comment on robbery Is ‘Irresponsible’ - Reuben Abati

The presidential Spokesman has reacted to a statement attributed to the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, that the Lekki robbery succeeded, due to the presence of President Goodluck

Reuben Abati said the statement was irresponsible and should not come from a governor.

''We consider the statement attributed to Governor Fashola as grossly and utterly irresponsible.We expect that a man of his status, who is the Governor of a state, should speak more responsibly. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever that the entire police formation in a state would be deployed to protect the president of Nigeria. President Jonathan does not need the entire Police force to protect him in a state where he is loved by the people and where, as we have seen, he enjoys overwhelming support to the lead up of the 2015 presidential election,” he said.
