Mrs. Akinola was invited by the Governor to the State House in Alausa, Ikeja on December 22, 2014, Monday. Fashola and his teacher hadn’t seen each other for 38 years. Therefore, the reunion was very touching and drew nostalgic feelings to both of them.
According to the Nation,
Mrs. Akinola joined the school’s teaching staff in 1973 and went on transfer in
1989. She taught Bible Knowledge in junior and senior classes and English
language and English literature in junior classes.
The meeting between the
Governor and his former teacher was full of emotions, joy and pride. Both
engendered nostalgic reflections on the past and recalled their days as a
teacher and a pupil.

This pleasant meeting
turned up just at the right moment. The warm conversation with the teacher may
cheer up Fashola and make him overcome the difficulties.
Recently, the Lagos
State Governor has been highly criticized for not performing his duties. Chief
Makanjuola Ogundipe, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the
South-West even said:
“No one should say
Fashola is doing well in Lagos. Go to Akwa Ibom and see what the governor is
doing there. Look at the stadium in Akwa Ibom. How many stadiums has Fashola
built? There are bad roads all over the state with heavy traffic every day.
“Instead of Fashola to
fix the roads, he was busy repairing Federal Government roads and sending
inflated bills to the Federal Government as the cost of repair.”
Happy reunion
