Umahi just threw the controller of works under the bus sad

It will be a miracle if that woman's career does not take a big hit as a result of this gridlock issue

On Thursday, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos, said the state government would take full responsibility for the gridlock.

The governor also apologised to residents for the gridlock experienced due to the rehabilitation of the bridge.

above is a leader. below is an oga

However, Umahi, who also visited the scene later on Thursday, said the controller decided to shut the bridge independently.

we are just as worst as the leaders we are condemning everyday. The minister for works said the fact without looking at the face of Lagos. we most follow Due process in accordance with established rules simple

Insurbodination

But Umahi no suppose talk this outside. You suppose discipline the Controller in-house.

That's leadership

ability is never part of any political leader in Nigeria

The only reason why the governor and Dave himself were running helter skelter to ensure that the bridge is reopened was because the massive traffic jam affected the elites in Lagos. So hundreds of calls were hitting their mobile phones from these elites, forcing them to order the reopening with immediate effect.

If that bridge was at Okokomiko or Ikorodu or Yaba, believe me, they'll close it for 2 years and nothing would happen.

Work hard and become an elite so that you too can have a direct line to the Minister of Works grin

Mr Umahi has forgotten he is no longer a governor in ebonyi where he could blame a commissioner for the excess soup in his wife's soup.

Irresponsible leadership

How can he the Minister of Works not know of the closing of the bridge? ... but the President in far away Abuja knew about it? He is usually informed of closures.... but it is a practice... not a rule. Is he now declaring the practice a rule? No doubt... he is disconnected from what is going on on ground and need to be fired. He is the one in charge and should be the first to face the consequences.

You are lying.

That's not how my Lagos State works. Ordinary pedestrian bridge hold up at Oshodi attracted immediate attention of the state government with profuse apologies on same day it was reported. This is not different.

Most of you are completely ignorant about Lagos yet you misinform those who are ignorant.

He doesn't have to take responsibility..... the one in charge is the one responsible. He needs to be fired period .

He will always exonerate himself from any propaganda. He automatically said he’s not aware that the bridge is under construction

Gov. Sanwo Ilu relationship with Mr President is becoming irredeemable.
A phone call by Mr President to the Governor ing instruction to him on the need for the bridge to be repen, would have been better.
Instead of bying the Governor of a State, giving order to your Minister to counter the order of a Governor, is a disrespect to the office and authority of the Governor.
All the same, is a pointer that the Governor and Mr President are not in good .

All these kind oga in civil service always ing the blame on subordinates.

You were not aware as how iro nla, you don't want to take responsibility. You were not aware and lagosians have been aware for 2 weeks.

Besides should the bridge be left like that till the inevitable happens.

As the usual trait with the coven, this foolish stump asslicker will denied his responsibility and throw the Lagos controller under the bus.

This dwarf coward is incapable of look leadership. Compare Sanwo's response to the nonsense he said.

Guz: Umahi is doing BAT's bidding.... Obasa, removal & reinstatement...

Chai! Politrix don scatter many things...

Granted. There's notification about closure, but it's not duly approved by BAT/FG/Fed Mins of Works, et Al, (dataz why there will be punitive measures against.... ...the contractor couldn't wait for redtapism & bureaucracy, so they SUDDENLY shut the bridge both IN&OUT... We gerrit (Lagosians: BAT/FG/Umahi hands bo dey for una suffering)!

So Lagosians, BAT can do betta with Umahi, the victim here is Lagos State Guv, who myt hv fallen out of fav with BAT recently...Lag Guv come chest am wella!

Umahi did say he takes reponsibility because the Controller is a member of his staff and it is now an internal discliplinary matter.
PHIPEX:
Wonderment

A good leader takes the blame and the praise whether good or bad. This is a very low score.
