I personally think it is foolishness & stupidity to attribute every developmental stride in Lagos to Tinubu. Tinubu was the governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007. He may av influenced his successors, however, it is a sign of a leader who is power hungry and corrupt. It will interest you to know that every novel investment in Lagos State has nothing less than 20% of Tinubu's stake. If u think Tinubu is the leader of the Yoruba tribe, then ask ursef why only Lagos state is thriving? What investments has he brought to Osun, his home state? This is not about 2023 election, it is a statement of fact.

Ikorodu should be developed in order to encourage people to migrate over there and use the ferry services. This will reduce the crazy house rents we pay on the Island
