I think every state need a Tinubu compared to Saraki.Tinubu has successfully made lagos the best and most developed state in Nigeria
Pdp is one evil party that must not allowed in any state

Tinubu didn't make Lagos the most developed state. You guys should stop spilling that crap. By virtue of it's location and the position it occupied as the federal capital territory for several decades, Lagos simply has the infrastructure to be the greatest irrespective of who is in charge. 30 years ago, Abuja was a complete Bush. Today, it has overtaken most states in terms of economy. Assuming FCT is made a state in the future, and gets to have a kingmaker like Tinubu, somebody will start praising him for making Abuja what it is.

Lagosians are smarter so they know what they want. Take it or leave it, Jagaban knows how to play his politics.

Can you compare Lagos State in terms of infrastructure to Kwara State?

Every civil servants in Lagos State love Tinubu. Tinubu always present the best candidate so forget him.

Don't know if God take his life, but believe me Lagosians love Tinubu. Jagaban is always around to reason with his people, go to his house and see people waiting to collect Roger from him tongue

Saraki messed up and am sure he's father inside grave now will be shaking head for him. He destroyed his father legacy. I think what Jagaban is doing today Saraki's father did it first.

Saraki need to go back home and apologize to his people. You don't stay in Abuja and only return during campaign time. Let your people see you frequently.

Jagaban is unbreakable.

Spot on. Also, because, to the people outside, it seems Tinubu imposes candidates, but he more or lesd, go with the floor of top echelons within the inner caucus and popularity of such candidates.

He leads from behind, taking into consideration whay the popular consensus is, otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted this long.

For those saying that Lagos is developed by Tinubu, please let me educate you just small:

Lagos has been the capital city of Nigeria since 1960 after it was moved from Calabar. This means Lagos enjoyed federal government development just like Abuja today. Can any Abuja Mayor claim he built or developed Abuja to what it is today 90% of developments in Abuja is built by Federal Government. and mind you, Abuja became Nigeria's capital from 1991 december, now compare it with Lagos that became the capital city of Nigeria from 1914 january.

It is Federal government of Nigeria that built all the magnificent structures you see in Lagos today, quote me anywhere any day any time.

Name the structures Tinubu built in Lagos, name one if not planting flowers, building roundabouts and brt lanes, what else can Tinubu + Fashola + Ambode boast of as their developmental achievement in Lagos since democracy kicked off in 1999

3rd Mainland bridge and most bridges linking Lagos cities were built by federal government of Nigeria under the military government, and most of these structures are dilapidated before your own eyes without Lagos government being able to even maintain them.

Go round Lagos, most inter city roads are gone....Lagos have no road again.

The only laudable project started by Lagos is the Badagry railway to west africa which has been lingering since 2007...

The developments you see in Lagos are built by private organizations and individuals who reside in Lagos and have their investments in Lagos...Lagos is dying and going back due to Tinubu's grip and greed, kiss the truth

Your ignorance stink to heaven! Lagos state was never the capital of Nigeria. It is only the island. Pls what are the FG structure or industry in Lagos state?

No sane person dares compare Lagos to Kwara.

What Lagos sees in a week, Kwara may not see in months. This is because of Lagos's metropolitan nature. Even at that, the gain gotten is not commensurate with the level of development in the state.

It doesn't matter how many times you type up your nonsense and propaganda, it will never stick or come true.

Tinubu developed modern Lagos, you need to go and mind what your useless governors are doing in your cursed land.

Nigeria wasn't one country until 1960, there were 3 Nigerias (Western, Northern and Eastern Nigerias) ruled separately by the English, it was in 1960 we agreed to come together as one country with the regional system you Igbos later suspended because of greed and the fact that you couldn't build your region to be like that of Yoruba. Before then Lagos had already developed as Yoruba commercial capital. The English referred to Yorubaland as "the richest and where the money is" way before 1960, and as you can see, nothing has changed, still where the money is. Yorubaland is still feeding you and your people, you are just ungrateful. So now why are you twisting the historical fact to cover your own problem. You have leaders and region, go and sort yourself out over there. And as you already know, only Igbos wanted one Nigeria during independence and it's for a reason, you knew you had to be with Yoruba to survive.

Every money that developed lagos and Nigeria (except the Niger delta) came from Lagos, so Lagos owe its development to its people, the Yoruba for their ingenuity. Awolowo did more in 14 years for Lagos than the English did in 100 years.

Now, it's not Yoruba's fault that you can't build your own region, it's your problem that you chose to come and die in another man's land and screwing yourselves in the process cos Nigeria is running on burrowed time and you my friend will be the worst hit cos you can't use your brain to develop your region.

And

Just as you can't say Arabs built London, no foreigners contributed anything into building Lagos (at least Arabs came with their money to London, unlike Igbos who strolled into Yorubaland with a plastic bag and rob Yoruba to establish themselves), you came because Lagos gave you economic conditions your own region couldn't provide for you. You then work your butt off to pay me some tax which you are not doing at the moment but will do in future if Yoruba get it right. So it's up to you to leave or keep quiet, we never invited you in the first place.

The only reason 'O to ge' succeeded in Kwara is the fact that the opposition was far better than Saraki. In Lagos, this is not the case. Tinubu is very smart, he does not rule with absolute tyranny, he listens. When he wanted to replace Fashola, he listened to the people and changed his mind, when the people and party members got tired of Ambode, he listened and made the necessary adjustment. All it takes is for Sanwo-Olu to replicate what Fashola did and Tinubu's position would be cemented for another 8 years, hate him or love him, he is truly Jagaban!

You are wrong. Tinubu did narrriiin. Lagos has always has that natural tendencies to be ahead. It has nothing to do with Tinubu.

this is the problem you guys have, do you know the kind of investments the man keeps attracting into the state thereby boosting economic activities? The Dangote refinery had no business to be in Lagos in the first place but was initially planned to be in Ondo state until things went sour btw the then Ondo governor and dangote. With Tinubu and Fashola, they brought Dangote in and The Dangote refinery is a major reason for the real estate boom in the ibeju lekkki corridor right now.

The Tinubu's cabal in Lagos are master strategists in attracting all sorts of investments into the state. call them thieves but they keep on delivering

@the bolded, this is what a lot of non yorubas have refused to understand. Obafemi Hamzat once gave a story how he and other commisioners were arguing with tinubu as governor in his office and a south south governor walked in and asked tinubu who were those arguing with him, tinubu told them they were commisioners and the south south governor was stunned and could not believe his eyes. He said tinubu told the ss governor that this is how they do governance here. Lagos is one of the most democratic states in pratcice but the narrative put out there is that of a trynanny which does not exist at all in the way Lagos has been managed under the APC

Your response is typical of a lot of ignorant Nigerians. If you think that security is the only problem bedeviling Lagos, then you are even more naive than you sound, Oga. The non-availability of affordable housing, integrated transportation, refuse disposal, good quality motorable roads, quality healthcare is there for all to see. Wake up and smell the coffee!

You are funny Sir. So you mean Lagos does not have these things. I know it not all parts of Lagos that are developed. But you and I know that this is what is obtainable everywhere in the World. If you know Lagos very well you will know that what you are saying is invalid. Even big developed cities of the world cant boost of every part being developed.

The economy of Lagos took another dimension under the tenure of Tinubu as governor, despite the federal govt under Obasanjo withholding the allowance of Lagos for years. It takes a visionary leader to create wealth out of little. People talk of the IGR of Lagos now, which is more than what some countries in Africa generate. It was never like that in the past.
Many assumed Lagos was finished when FCT was created and the capital moved there.
Wasn't Asaba or so also a previous capital of Nigeria?
What Nigeria has always needed are visionary leaders. It's even an easy thing to do , as we can always clone ideas from countries where things are working, and also avoid their past mistakes.
Ogun state is also trying in terms of IGR. It's a pity Osun, Ekiti state didn't have visionary leaders. Let's hope the new ones there now will have an idea of how to generate money.
Many states in Nigeria are just not doing enough to be self sustaining. It's possible, so they need to try harder.

Tinubu the brain behind Lagos development? OGA why u dey talk like foetus Lagos that was the capital of Nigeria from 1960 till 1991? All the Democratic Lagos governors have failed Lagos apart from jakande. Tell what thieffnubu did for civil servants in Lagos. Festac was built by FG, satellite town was built by oil companies and banks. Tell me any residential area built by thieffnubu for the masses. They built and developed lekki, banana island things civil servants can't afford. And then u run here to shout Igbo. Fool. Igbos built their stuff by themselves yet you hate them. Igbos never for one day killed you people in your home town like Hausa's do regularly. Someone who hasn't been to Lagos now will think Lagos is one African London not knowing the place is riddled with slums and bad roads. Bad roads in VI, flooding in Lekki, bad roads all around yaba/ebutte-meta axis, same at iyana-oworo, sattelite town, Ojo. With all the IGR and federal allocation this is what Lagos roads should like.
