Akin Ambode means he promised to make Tinubu's pocket work?
I really don't care if he is from Ondo state,once he has fulfilled the 10 years constitutional requirement,no qualms,BUT WHY DID HE LIE ABOUT IT There's an integrity challenge for him there.
Also I learnt he embezzled 2 billion naira and Fashola discovered the fraud and fired him,,he has not cleared the air on that.

Anyway,,Jimi Agbaje is OK.Lagosians should vote Agbaje so Tinubu will keep his soiled thieving hands out of Lagos treasury.This slavery gasto stop maaan.
