Budget. It will be recalled that the former Lagos Governor had called out the lawmakers for slashing his budget and also including projects ought not to be included in his Ministry.
Under the motion of personal privilege moved by a member, it was unanimously agreed that the actions of the Minister undermined the integrity of the House and the need for him to appear before the lawmakers.

@ Endy Edison, they are disgrace to Nigeria. They want raji to succumb to their corrupt practice and it will not work.

Endeson even if we don't understand what Fashola is saying, what about Lagos - Ibadan express road, Fashola said government are owning the contractors N15billion already and this rogues reduced the total budget for the same project this year to N10billion, this project is for every Nigerians to benefit from, but instead they increased their own budgets then reduced ours, are they important than me and you??? Thunderstorms wipe them and their entire generation!
