Fashola said this at the opening ceremony of the 3rd Session of the 32nd Synod of the Diocese of Lagos, Anglican Communion, held at Our Saviour’s Anglican Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
He said a country could only achieve meaningful development if its citizens were law abiding by following its rule of law.
“To move Nigeria forward, let every Nigerian obey the laws and order, you cannot obey law and order when it suits you but disobey them when it doesn’t suit you.
“At this moment of great expectations, all of us have a very important role to play, and our roles will be bigger than those that were elected into office.
“Our nation will be as good as we wish it to be, we decide the kind of society we want to live in, we make those decisions by the actions that we take and the actions that we refuse to take.
“I see abiding by law and order as the most important issue that we have not really focus on in Nigeria,’’ he said.
Most Rev. Adebola Ademowo, the President of the Synod, in his welcome address, urged the Lagos State governor- elect, Mr Akinwummi Ambode, to have the interest of the masses at heart.
“The newly elected governor of Lagos State should have the interest of the citizens by improving on the standard of living of the masses,’’ he said. (NAN)
