Gov debate: Randle threatens to sue Fashola

The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Mega Party in Lagos State, Chief Jaiye Randle, is concluding plans to take the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), to court over the governor’s comments during a debate among the governorship candidates in the state.

The debate, organised by Channels TV and ThisDay, had featured five candidates. In the course of the debate, Randle had complained about his failure to have access to the governor. Fashola replied that Randle wanted to see him about the criminal case he had in court and about the house he built on a drain which constituted environmental nuisance.

Randle said at a recent press conference, “He has not heard the last of the issues. My lawyers are still studying everything and we will take the right action soon. It is just that the elections are serious business and we don’t want to detract from that for now. I assure you, he has not heard the last of it. I know it was a debate. You can say what you like but it must be truthful and verifiable. My lawyers are asking for the verbatim tape.”

Do you feel Fashola took issues personal or think that JK Randle shouldn't have raised such a "mean" issue at a debate? Lets hear your view.
