    Hehehehe! Fashola rejects Chieftancy title, says “Keep it to yourself for now… “

    By Tireni AdebayoSeptember 9, 2012

    Hehehe, I so much love Governor Fashola, he is incredibly smart!

    Well, apart from the fact that he is one of the ‘efficient’ governors in Nigeria today, the ‘smart’ Lagos state governor on Saturday politely rejected
    the honour of a chieftaincy title from a royal father, Oniru of Iru
    land, Lagos, Oba Abidun Idowu Oniru. (Ghen Ghen, Just like that)
    Any other governor would have jumped at such an offer….don’t mind, #JustSaying!
    Well, this is why Fashola rejected the offer,
    “Kabiyesi and his chiefs can continue to lead
    us, let them deal with all those traditional and chieftaincy issues. At
    the appropriate time, we will come and join them, but for now, leave us
    in our suits, booths, overalls and helmets, because this agbada is not
    good for clearing refuse and tarring the roads.
    ”

    He, however, received the award of excellence conferred on him by the
    monarch who was celebrating his 75th birthday and 18th coronation
    anniversary. While expressing his appreciation to Oba Oniru for
    honouring him, Fashola said the task of governance required absolute
    focus and would want the chieftaincy title to wait for now.

    On the award for excellence, Fashola said it was not for him; rather he
    dedicated it to all the civil servants in the state who he said were
    responsible for the giant strides of his administration.
    My governor, good thinking.
    Keep the fire burning.
