Below is a press statement from the office of former Lagos
state governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu...

For a while now, I have noticed and read many published
political stories on Lagos politics in particular and the
personalities involved that are either concerted,
unsubstantiated, pure conjectures or outright falsehood. In
this instance, I reference a recent story ran by a major
newspaper concerning my successor and me. There is no
doubt political charlatans and enemies are at work fueling
unnecessary rumour and insinuations and seeking to drive a
wedge in an otherwise cordial and respectful political
relationship. My relationship with Governor Fashola
remains cordial both at the personal level and at the level
of commitment to ensuring Lagos State remains on the
path of political stability, growth and development.

Whether Governor Fashola had a specific candidate or not
isn’t the issue here. What is important is to have a
transparent process in the spirit of democracy to which we
both subscribe. We often debate, agree or disagree. But
when it comes to concluding on the interest of Lagos State,
we are on the same page. The current situation and issues
around the Lagos Gubernatorial primary are being
overblown. What we have done is ensure that no one is
denied his or her rights to participate and compete for any
elective position. Such a disposition should not translate
into anger and divisiveness of the party as it is being
peddled. Conflicts and disagreements is part of every
political process. The capacity to solve these conflicts in-
house and not on the pages of newspaper is a tradition in
Lagos.

We warn the people of Lagos state against speculative,
self-serving stories aimed at destabilizing the party and its
leadership. The media must be weary of accepting or
publishing stories that seek to pursue a narrow political
agenda. Rather, they should make their paper a platform
for proper news dissemination and constructive analysis
such that can help our country tackle the current security
problem, create jobs.

While we appreciate, recognize and respect the right of
every media house to publish any story, it is important not
to be part of the feeding frenzy and not to mislead the
unsuspecting public.

At my age and with my level of political experience, I am
expected to seek for solutions, work for reconciliations and
find a common ground where disagreements exist. That is
what I have dedicated myself to in the larger interest of
Lagos State and Nigeria at large. That is what Governor
Babatunde Fashola and myself are about. That is what
Lagos state deserves as Nigeria’s pacesetter in terms of
democracy and development.

If you think you have heard the last of the lagos APC primary, then you've got another thinking coming

APC primary was hitch-free,scandal-free,televised.I saw it on tv in Lagos.
All aspirants were present except when they got tired.
Pdp apologists plant fake stories in newspapers to rob my APC.

Tinubu has finished pdp once again.
We'll complete the finishing of pdp in 2015.

Tinubu! The inability to decode this man is the reason many can't find sleep.

The reassurance that I get in his ability to identify and support quality leaders is the reason I can vote blindly for any candidates that has his support without loosing sleep. So glad he is still alive.

I never knew you are their spokesperson or their attorney who holds their brief.

Why not go carry placard since you are the one who.purchased the forms for them.

Mumu wey dey pokenose for thing wey no concern am.

This news, definitely will give some people heart attack..

The Nigerian dailies are always awash with fake, unverified and cooked up stories. In order for them to make sales, they always come up with such stories told by someone who doesn't want to be named. That's why even nigerians don't take them serious even the president is more interest in what new York times, BBC and other foriegn news agencies report about his government than what a nigerian paper wrote again and again.

Haters can go and lineup on third Midlands bridge and do the needful

Tinubu's speech sound like a victory speech

It is easy to call for conciliation when you have won. Tinubu is a wily old fox!


This is the moment for GEJ to stick the knife

Lure Fashola to PDP and offer him FCT minister

Work with him and snatch Lagos from APC

bad market for Nairaland TANdroids. long live ASIWAJU, long live Gov. Fashola, success to APC!!!

If I where Fashola, I will give Tinubu the treatment Andy Uba gave Soludo during PDP primaries in 2010 Anambra State Guber.
That's if you don't want me to have the share of the cake meant for me then I will rather throw it to fowls than two of us dragging for it.

Hmmmmmm nice political calculation . Just like he gave Nuhu Ribadu the Minister of Police Affairs and Anti corruption Head.

Tinubu jst killed it!!!

I always knew they were cool with each other.
Tinubu and Fashola's relationship is like a father/son thing. They both have genuine love for each other. I was more convinced of this when I saw a picture of a very warm embrace they shared when Arege won Osun elections. Their body languages went beyond politics. They may feel like strangling each other sometimes, but NEVER in public. They wash their dirty linens btw themselves.

Sorry to disappoint those who are expecting these two intellectualls to fight dirty for their entertainment.
