The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday hit back at Senator Danjuma Goje, stressing that the legislator’s utterances and choice of words were “unparliamentary and therefore not deserving of a reply.”
The minister also said it was regrettable that Goje, the Chairman, Committee Chairman on Appropriation, would seek to trivialise the issues he (Fashola) raised about the unilateral slashing of the budgetary allocation to key national infrastructure by the National Assembly.
In a statement he personally signed and sent in from Zimbabwe where he was attending the 35th Annual General Meeting of the Shelter Afrique, Fashola said he was responding only for the purpose of refocusing attention to the issues at stake.
