Bola Tinubu, the immediate past governor of
Lagos state, has admitted that the record of
Babatunde Fashola, his successor, is better
than his.
Tinubu said this on Wednesday during the flag-
off of the party’s campaign for the forthcoming
general election in the state.
“In the year 2007, I handed over to one young
man, brought him to you and said he would
perform better,” he said.
“A man with sound brain and sound mind; that
person is Babatunde Fashola. He did not
disgrace us.
“I thank God for eight years of excellent
performance, unbroken promises, sound
experience and constructive government. I am
proud that I am the father of successors. Our
prayer is that our children should live and
perform better than us.”
He said that Fashola performed well in
construction of roads and school buildings,
employment, healthcare delivery, among
others.
He urged Lagos residents to vote en masse for
Akinwunmi Ambode, the party’s governorship
candidate in the state during February 28
election, adding that Ambode would build on
Fashola’s achievements.
In his address, Fashola urged Lagos residents
to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs)
to enable them to vote.
He also appealed to them to vote for Ambode in
order to sustain the development efforts of the
state.
“Go to your wards and INEC offices in your
various local government areas and obtain your
PVCs,” he said.
“You have till January 31 to do so if you want
Ambode to win. Your right to vote is not the gift
of any government.
“It is a right you have as a citizen in any part of
the world where democracy is practised.”
He also said that he would continue to honour
past governors for sacrificing for the
development of the state and hailed Tinubu for
his services to the state and the party.
“You built the pillar and foundation upon which
we stand,’’ the governor said.
On his part, Ambode promised to build on
Fashola’s achievements, if elected. He said
that he would make the state’s economy more
viable.
“I will build on the legacy of Fashola’s
administration and will not disappoint you,” he
promised.
“I have been an accountant all my life; so, I
shall be accountable to all of you.”
Henry Ajomale, the chairman of the party in the
state, boasted that the PDP was no threat to its
retaining the control of government in Lagos.
James Odunmbaku, the vice chairman of APC
in Lagos, commended the party members for
their support, adding that the crowd at the rally
was encouraging.
