Fashola pinned this on the helpless comprehension of the powers of a president. 

He additionally said absence of appropriate communication between the president and the residents was liable for Nigerians not cherishing their leaders while alive. 

The previous Legislative head of Lagos State talked as a visitor speaker at the Yoruba Social Club public talk, with the subject, 'How can the President help me?' 

He said, "Some say the workplace of the VP is only an extra tire, however the explanation isn't verifiable, and that the VP has no force of his own is an absence of information on the constitution. 

"In the event that you go through the constitution, you will discover that the workplace of the President is alluded to multiple times. 23 examples allude to the power the President can work out; nine of those powers are dependent upon the Public Get together; four occurrences allude to powers practiced by the President subject to different foundations; nine occasions allude to the President's capacities and obligations; three cases allude to limitations on the force of the President. Anyway, how is the Nigerian President the most impressive on the planet? Thus, some are clashing the powers of the President with the elements of the President, which is deceiving. 

"A few adolescents requested during the EndSARS fight that the President should sack the IGP, yet I taught them that the President has no such power and that the main power he has in such manner is to provide legal guidance. 

"Of the relative multitude of Presidents we have had, Nigerians never cherished any of them while in office; we appear to adore them after they have left or kicked the bucket. For what reason is that so? As far as I might be concerned, the appropriate response is absence of profundity in communication. 

Nigerians are not adequately acquainted with the constitution and the job of what workplaces are relied upon to play. I can't help thinking that we are anticipating the correct thing from some unacceptable spot. I can't request the director from the Yoruba Social Club to accomplish for me the obligation of the secretary of the club. 

"I did an exploration and what Nigerians' assumptions are. I found the significant issues are security, instruction, medical services, transport, water supply, work, lodging and power. Do they surmised to the elements of the President? 

"In this way, in getting what the President can do, we should remember the idea of our political course of action. The President as the top of the nation drives the chief arm of the Central Government yet that Central Government is comprised of two different arms. Powers are divided among the Administrator of the nearby government and the state lead representative on the chief side. On the authoritative side, powers are divided among the congresspersons, Place of Delegates individuals. Essential schooling and essential medical care are not elements of the Central Government, they are the obligations of the neighborhood government. 

"It is individuals of Nigeria, rather than one man, who genuinely have the power and obligation regarding our issues. Along these lines, we should discuss power. In 2013, the Central Government privatized its own side of the power; thus, what's going on at the state level on power ought not be coordinated to the President since it's the obligation of the legislative head of the state. Additionally, ask the state Places of Gathering what they intend to do about this is on the grounds that they have the ability to make the law for age, transmission and dissemination. It's likewise the obligation of the express that we have water."
