The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde
Fashola, has faulted a statement credited to President Goodluck Jonathan
that Muhammadu Buhari did not buy any weapon for soldiers when he was
in government.
Fashola spoke at the 2014 series of the
Obafemi Awolowo Free Education Lecture organised by the Faculty of
Education, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State on Thursday.
He wondered if President Goodluck Jonathan planned to fight terrorists with 1985 weapons.
He said, “When a man says, ‘When they
were there, they did not buy guns’. Ask, If they had bought guns in
1985, will he be fighting war with 1985 guns?"
“It is a good thing to take a man by his
words. Awolowo prepared himself to speak in public because he knew the
value of the spoken word and more importantly knew electoral promises
were a matter of very serious honour, and to break them was a matter of
great dishonour and breach of trust." ...Punch
