"dont throw stones if you live in a glass house"
The much acclaimed governorship debate organized by channels TV held at the Muson center on the second of March 2011 was as entertaining as revealing, not only about the plans of the contestants if elected, but also their demeanor.
The five contestants on the spotlight were:
Incumbent Governor & AC governorship candidate - Babatunde Raji Fashola
PDP governorship aspirant - Adegboyega Dosumu
APGA governorship aspirant - Dominic Agboola
ANPP governorship aspirant - Yomi Tokoya
SDMP governorship candidate - Jaiye Randle
As issues were being ironed out, some of the aspirants brought up reasonable topics to debate on, such as issues of unemployment, housing, taxation, corruption and education, while equally keeping the debate spirit lively and simple. Mr Randle of the SDMP decided to make a spectacle of himself by mentioning personal issues as he cleverly accused Fashola of being unresponsive and inaccessible.
The answers he received for his sly punch was more than Randle could handle, as it almost angered the incumbent Governor Mr Raji Fashola who had to help Mr Randle wash his dirty linen in public, as he had to enlighten the audience Mr Randle's issues with the Lagos State Enviromental Protection Agency(LASEPA) for which Mr Randle has been seeking the assistance of the incumbent Governor Mr Raji Fashola. And also, a criminal matter for which Fashola referred him to the office of the Attorney General who was handling the issue.
At the end of the debate, Fashola extended his hand of friendship for a handshake and was accepted by other contestants, but Mr Randle bluntly declined as he was still grudgingly nursing the wounds he suffered from a self inflicted injury.
