Tinubu remains the Governor of Lagos State while the occupant of Government house Alausa is a mere ceremonial head.

It appears a tribe in Nigeria prefers to remain slave to Oga Bourdillion. He keep recycling his tugs to cage each successive Administration.

As as aside, Mr Ambode, please were is Abike Dabiri?
