Fashola Opens Up On Buhari

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has eventually opened up on President Muhammadu Buhari… “President Muhammadu Buhari believes in the development of real infrastructure and not stomach infrastructure.”

“Our developmental initiatives are party blind, they are people focused, they are Nigeria centred. The housing project, federal secretariat project, transmission projects are all projects that were initiated while the opposition party governed the state (Ekiti). I went there on a tour to ensure that these projects were going on and what this (courtesy) visit does is just to bring that into sharper focus now.”

“People say, in my view wrongly, that there is no difference between us and them (opposition). There are lots of differences and these can be seen in our attitude to development, spending, the type of infrastructure that President Buhari believes in, real infrastructure, not stomach infrastructure.”

“There are fundamental ideological differences about how an economy and a government should be run. I think people must focus on those differences about how this government is doing more with fewer resources.”
