Ex-Governor of Lagos State and now Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) has rejected his entitlement from the Lagos State Government.

“I can say very clearly that I declined to benefit from this package. There was a cabinet meeting when the matter came up and there’s a record of the minutes of the State Executive Council meeting where I said “if this was a privilege conferred on me, I had the right to refuse and I refuse and Cabinet should record my refusal to partake of this package because I was conflicted morally about the position.”

“For me the real privilege and honour was to serve, and I have since gone back to my house in Surulere. No house was built for me by Lagos State government in Abuja.”
