Former Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, while undergoing the ministerial screening at the red chambers on Wednesday spoke about reports which alleged that he funded the development of a website with N72m. 

     
Sen. Abaribe had asked him if he built a website with N72m, and what his concept of loyalty is following his perceived help in becoming Lagos state governor.

“As governor of Lagos, I didn’t sign cheques. None of my commissioners signed cheques. I didn’t sit in awards of contracts. There is a tenders board," he said.

“The unfortunate thing about money is that it always raises suspicion, even among brothers. In all, nobody has said I have personally enriched myself.

Speaking about loyalty later on, Fashola said "the concept of loyalty is a very strange concept. May our loyalty never be tested. If your loyalty is tested, you might end up taking bullet for your own children.”

“In public life, I have remained loyal to causes I have signed on to. Nobody can accuse me of going back on my words.”
