Most of these commenters are very ignorant of Tinubu's impact in Lagos . He laid the foundation and the blueprints for all his successors are celebrating now.


Some of those that formed his cabinet then are still around holding one position or the other in assisting his successors to succeed .



Tinubu is the main man as far as Lagos is concern . He is in charge of political machinery and which enabled his successors to concentrate on their job without the distraction of handling the politicians and their troubles .


Imagine a politically naive Fashola or Ambode at the mercy of Bode George , Obanikoro , GOS and co ? ( E no go funny) . Even Amaechi with all his political experience was derailed talk less of the lightweights in the midst of heavyweights.
We are not talking about who's in charge of political machinery in Lagos. We all know tinubu is. what we are discussing is who performed better since 1999 as governor.

Fashola is the man!!

Lolzzz beremx , Did you actually think Fashola would have been able to perform that much if left alone to weather the political storm

Then come to the issue of performance can you earnestly compare the resources available to both men ?

Lagos state budget in 1999 was just #14.2billion but it took the ingenuity of Tinubu and his team to raise that budget from that paltry 14.2b to about #240billion by 2007 when he handed over the reign of power to Fashola . Lagos was a near bankrupt state when Tinubu assumed office with virtually every sector in comatose .

It was the period when people find it difficult to get to their home at the close of work because some of them end up sleeping on the road only to return to work the next day without reaching home.


It was the period where heaps of refuse dump is a normal thing in Lagos.

Where the level of security is nothing to write home about.


Governance goes beyond awarding of contract and projects commissioning but putting up structures and policies in place that will improve the standard of living of the citizenry and creating enabling environment for people to live and survive.

you're a liar!! The only road tinubu built in all those places you mentioned was LASU-Isheri road which cost 5billion naira. Fashola did every other road except for Ikotun-Ejigbo road which was done by Ambode.

Being a Lagos indigenous man does not make you know about Lagos more than me.

Maybe we can start that with the resources available to them during their tenure then. You can't compare what Tinubu met and received throughout his tenure to Fashola . In fact no Governor received the kind of money in Fashola's care in the history of Lagos state. But then Fashola is a wonderful administrator.



#IstandwithTinubu on this bro. Tinubu met a jungle city ( In the word of Obj) and turned the city's fortune around and handed over to Fashola who not only consolidate on what he met but also did a marvelous job.



Both men served under different situations and circumstances and delivered accordingly in the respective capacities.


If you are standing by Asiwaju for whatever reasons you prefer, that's fine, but in terms of started, completed and delivered infrastructures in the history of Nigeria, Fashola remains the Champion and so it shall remain for a long long time to come, maybe at the end of his 8 years term.

This remains the most beautiful and sophisticated bridge on the whole of West Africa and it. was built by Fashola in less than 3 years while the whole of SE and the FG still can not build ordinary 2nd NB 30 years later..

Till today, it's yet to be duplicated by any government in Nigeria...


This bridge is not only an achievement, it's a ground breaking landmark..

Sorry I just have to quote you again.


I must commend your good understanding of Lagos politics and its development . People talk about Lagos agbero and Tinubu as if agbero started in Lagos in 1999 . Tinubu did a marvelous job to manage them for better result . Prior to Tinubu's administration , nurtw money is meant to be shared without anyone questioning them but Tinubu turned them to a source of state's revenue generation outfit .

More than #10b of seized Lagos allocation was released to Fashola at the beginning of his administration which is not a small money.

Tinubu is the real deal bro.




On the issue of Obi vs Chime , I'm afraid I will still have to go with your judgement . I am never a fan of Obi's brand of politics but he actually tried as the Governor of Anambra state. The state was bastardized by the Ubas during the times of Mbadinuju , Ngige met a totally failed state and worked tremendously even under harsh conditions at the detriment of his political future . His decision to work for the state later cost him his mandate ( His defeat at the tribunal was orchestrated by the Ubas with Abuja's backing ) .


Peter Obi entered the saddle and his performance was above average . He was able to get the state working again by clearing most of the issue in ground and he put some infrastructures in place .

Unlike Chime who met a totally peaceful state with the strong backing of Ebeano ( Nnamani Chimaroke ) group and some scattered ongoing projects in place . He came in and completed most of this projects ( They are termed Chime's projects because he sees to their completion. ESUT permanent site at Agbani was a work in progress , The new dualized road Ozalla to Agbani , The new conference center and other projects were all work in projects which he met and completed. but can we say the same about what Obi met on ground in Anambra ?
On Tinubu, what some people don't know is that Fash might or would have ended up lamenting like Buhari and blaming a certain predecessor if he hadn't met something tangible to build on(Don't forget that BAT met a dying Lagos but kept his focus on the job without blaming the military or Obj's distraction/witchhunt).

Some people will tell you road contracts, but Tinubu hand is everywhere from the Lekki-Epe Express road which was conceived and initiated by BAT, to the Ikoyi-Lekki beautiful bridge that was equally conceived by BAT but OBJ refused permission until Yaradua gave Fash.

Tinubu created Central Business Districts that attracted lots of revenues for Lagos, he ensured that commercial hub were on track and they operated in healthy environment.

No wonder his Aides were fully part of the government of his successors which ensured continuity.


But again, that does not erode the sterling performance of Fash, a worthy administrator in his own right.

tonye, chime did better than obi not just in Enugu.

1. He constructed a world class road from Enugu down to Nsukka which has not developed a single pothole till date.

2. He constructed the alternative road from enugu-udi-oji river- awka, which is still serving till date.

3. He constructed more than 15roads in UDI town.

4. Even in awgu, he did a good job there, he constructed a world class road that connects ishiagu to awgu.

5. He constructed ninth mile road to ezeagu axis. (The road along Nigeria brewery)

6. In obollo afor he constructed some roads in the town too

Even economically, he grow the IGR of enugu state immensely, Enugu is 4th in IGR today because of chime. The only place he didn't do well is nsukka town, reason why he installed someone from there to be governor.
No governor has done better than chime in the east. The dude tried.

Chime is a silent achiever, he doesn't make noise, maybe that's why you dont know him too well.

I dont know if the truth is considered as hate... Go and ask a neutral person to tell you who performed better between chime and obi.. This is ridiculous... You have never been to Enugu and you are here saying this rubbish.. Obi should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Chime. That peter obi is an attention loving person and always in the media is not the reason to compare him with Chime.. Chime that performed better than Amaechi and can only be compared with Akpabio is who you are comparing with mediocre peter obi that didnt dualize a single road in Anambra for 8 years (I'm waiting for someone to tell me this is a lie). even the current governor obiano has more projects than Peter obi currently.. Do a proper research before posting articles like this.What exactly is the obi performance you are talking about?
Since when is dualizing a road a yardstick for judging a leaders administration?
All I know is this, with all ur handles freeglobe, globe, globe1 et al. u can't see farther than over 150mil Nigerians. Obi did so well judging from where anambra was before. Chime did well as well but have it in mind that Enugu has everything that Anambra never had because of her position as the eastern capital. I will advice u try and see things from that perspective rather than allowing hate and sentiment cloud ur site and mind. Good day

but op is wrong, op seen not to know much about the east. I didn't even add the road chime constructed from awgu to oji river.

No governor in the east has been able to do what chime did and when he constructs roads he gives the best, not mediocrity like most eastern governors do.

Shhhhh! You think you know more about SE than anyone else? Apart from Enugu town where Chime did some work every other place outside there is still jungle and this is a state that has benefited so much from 1960 till state creation. Let us not go into some of these things because you guys will not like how it will end on this thread.

You can say that Abia is behind infrastructurally, as for my state we have superb infrastructures not just in the urban centers but all round. So don't try to lump every other place together in that mess.

Till date Anambra still leads in the SE as a state with all round infrastructural development. Every part of the state has something deposited by the government.

Below is my rural village Uga but in some states it is considered a town due to infrastructure placed there. Show us how many villages in the SE outside Anambra that's this way. This is what we call all round infrastructural development.

Trash! He worked everywhere in the state and not just focusing in one area, he never limited himself. This is why a place like Aba was left to rot away and today it appears as a failed town.

Which parklane? The one built by Chimaroke even though the one built by Obi still beats it hand down.
