The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter has flayed the Governor Babatunde Fashola’s led government over his directive to his commissioners and senior civil servants not to grant the press interview on matters of governance in the State.

PDP said Governor Fashola’s order shows that he “has skeletons in his cupboard and desperate to cover up his misdeeds, even If he has to turn the state into a fully Fascist State.”

A part in the communique signed by its chairman, Capt Tunji Shelle (rtd), said the move was an attempt by the governor to conceal his alleged inanities.

Shelle said: “similarly, such a step pre supposes that all is not well in Alausa and the Governor is panicking.”

The party chieftain added that such a directive can only be sustained in a “fascist regime which the Governor may turn the state into if not checked”, noting that “no wonder the Lagos State House of Assembly is so slow to domesticate the FOI Act, which would allow private persons to get information on the workings of the Government.”

Speaking further, Shelle added that: “we have said severally that Governor Fashola is not on the seat to serve Lagosians selflessly. We have equally stated too that the huge IGR, now over N40 billion monthly, are being shared between the Governor and the ACN leadership.

“Now that the Governor is jittery and has come out to ban his Commissioners and Senior Civil servants from speaking to the Press, then he has admitted failure and misdeeds. We are now indeed vindicated.

PDP recalled that the same Governor had sometime barred certain media houses from covering the State Secretariat, claiming that they are Anti ACN-policies.

“We make bold to say that Governor Fashola is now obviously fatigued of ideas to further govern Lagos State. He is now so overwhelmed by the self imposed pressures and no more has original ideas for Lagosians.

“Lagos state is too sophisticated to be used as experiment. Rather than become a ‘taiwan’ idea Governor, we advise Governor Fashola to apologise to Lagosians and bow out honourably”, Shelle added.

 

CEO Mavin records, Michael Ajereh Collins aka Don Jazzy, has stated that one thing still preventing him from picking up a wife was because God fearing ladies were presently scarce.

Don Jazzy had equally added that slim ladies do not turn him on, as he prefers fleshy ones.

The Mavin boss who was recently rated as the 36th Most Influential Personality in Africa by forbes disclosed thus “I was once married in the United Kingdom, but it was short lived. The union produced a son named after me. I don’t want to experience a collapsed marriage again. That is why I am taking my time, working and praying for a soul mate”

He told Punch that “With due respect to slim ladies, there is no way any lady shaped like a broom can attract my full attention. I’m sorry but that’s the truth.”

“My ideal woman must be God-fearing. She must have all the basic curves in the right places. The rounder and bigger her chest and backside, the better,”

Meanwhile, Don Jazzy and his younger brother James Collins have set up an oil and gas company called Mavin Energy Limited.

Mavin Energy is a 24hours door to door diesel delivery service which supplies diesels to homes, small/medium scale businesses, with also the intention to supply to public establishments, large industries, construction companies, power companies and both Federal/State Parastatals and Agencies.
