Fashola Defends Tinubu, Rejects Claims of Blind Spots

Babatunde Fashola, the former Governor of Lagos State and ex-Minister of Works and Housing, addressed claims regarding blind spots in President Bola Tinubu's administration during an interview on TVC News. Fashola emphasized that he has direct access to Tinubu and prefers to offer his advice privately rather than engage in public criticism.

He noted that Tinubu frequently seeks his opinion on governance matters, particularly as the country approaches the 2027 general election. Fashola stated, “He calls me today, and he says, ‘Today, identify one area where my administration must improve as we count down to 2027.

What would you advise me?’” He believes that maintaining a private communication channel is more productive and has already provided the President with advice on various issues. When questioned about the existence of blind spots in the administration after three years in office, Fashola firmly rejected the notion, asserting, “There are no blind spots in this administration.

You can’t be shouting at somebody whose ear you have.”.
