Fashola Hosts Rochas Okorocha

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN) yesterday hosted his Imo State counterpart, Rochas Okorocha.Okorocha visited Fahsola at the Lagos House, Marina.

The Lagos governor said Lagos remains a place of succour and land of promise and land of opportunity for Igbo. He said: “If there are policy issues by the government that affect any citizen, there are ways of redressing such policies, but those channels will not be pursued by first bringing forward the regional position, ethnic position or religious position. When this is done, the substance is lost”.

Fashola said states should be the laboratories of best practices.

“I believe that you have the opportunity to espouse some of these postulations at the various meetings like Governors’ Forum and Council of States with the freshness that you bring. This generation has the opportunity to demonstrate that Nigeria is not a lost cause,” he added.

Okorocha said he was in Lagos to explore the possibility of partnering with the Fashola administration.

He commended the determination of Fashola to serve the people and urged others to borrow a leaf from his exceptional performance.

The Imo governor also applauded the strong relationship existing between the Yoruba and Igbo in Lagos.

He also called for the strengthening of states and regions in the country.
