The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has claimed that every accusation leveled at President-elect Bola Tinubu is unfounded or is not supported by proof.
Fashola disclosed this when he appeared on Channel Television’s Sunday Politics.
The minister outlined how Tinubu’s controversy will help Nigeria reposition itself as the world leader.
There is no “sainthood” in government, according to Fashola, and efficiency and performance should be the main priorities.
“I think those issues have been ventilated sufficiently,” he said.
“When Nigerians have decided, those issues don’t matter. That is what they have said by these votes.
“Everytime, it gets more difficult, that is his path to success. There is no easy day for him. The more difficult it gets, you can be sure, it is Asiwaju.
“I think now that all of these hurdles have been surmounted. Maybe there is a divine purpose. Maybe perhaps, this is where Nigeria begins to turn in the most positive ways forever.
“Governance is not about sainthood. It is about efficiency, performance, and delivery.
“You must understand that we should not be looking for saints. All of the allegations that were levelled against him have been either unproven or no evidence offered in support of them but they have run along for a while.”
