Fashola also said 'We may discuss it loosely, but you may not know. When loyalty is tested, you might have to take a bullet for your own child.'
Adding that “I have remained loyal to causes I signed to. I stand by my word.”
"Nobody can fairly accuse me of giving my word and going back on my word,” Fashola said.
Finally he said a prayer, to which all the Senator chorused Amen to, in unison.
