Second Republic Senator, Ayo Fasanmi has called on
Nigerians to support the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in its
drives for change.
This is just as he called on the Minister of Power, Works
and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) to ensure the completion of the
Lagos/Ibadan Expressway rehabilitation.
The elder statesman, who described the road as the
busiest in the country, said the 126.5-kilometre road was critical to national
economic interest.
Fasanmi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) elder, hailed
President Buhari for assigning ministers from the Southwest to challenging
portfolios, assuring that they will deliver.
He told the Nation that Fashola, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the
Minister of Solid Minerals, and his Heath, Communications and Finance
counterparts; Prof. Isaac Adewole, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu and Mrs. Kemi Adeosun,
will live up to expectation as change agents.
He said: “Lagos/Ibadan Expressway is a challenge for
Buhari and his team. The Minister of Works is up to the task. In fact, our
ministers from the Southwest – Fayemi, Shittu, Adewole, Adeosun and Daramola,
are great assets. The region has confidence in their ability. They have
performed in positions of responsibilities before as governors, administrators
and politicians.
“For example, Fahsola is a man after my heart;
hardworking, unassuming. He deserves the portfolios, having raised the level of
governance in Lagos to a high pedestal. These ministers will actually change,
perform and excel.”
