By close if you mean by 10,000 to 1. yes he is close. Jakande seems to be the only governor that ever serve Lagos state. By the way all higher education were tuition free in his time. His achievement was as if he ruled for ever not and not just 4yrs
and how is that an achievement ?thats the thing with the blackman, the only thing he considers an achievement is what he gets for free. do yu know the state of all the university halls of residence in all these universities because theyy were free ? its like where pigs live. you need money to maintain and upgrade things.

Tinubu and jakande were both governorz of lagos. The achievments of one in just 3 years dwarfed the other of 8 years.

let me tell yu something, this is why most cuntries dont like foreigners coming in because they dont want you to have their citizenship. let me tell you about china. if you a foreigner marry a chinese woman and give birth to a half chinese baby who is born in china ? that child will never be given a chinese citizenship. they will never give that child their passport. but they will givethe child residency permit but no citizenship. thats how serious this thing is. its not where you are born, its your lineage and heritage

i have a better scenario for you. a kwara man is born in abia state. then he grows up and tries to contest for the gvernorship of abia state saying he is an abian because he was born there. lolzzzz those abia boys will first ask him who is your father and what village in abia does he come from ? after which they will proceed to decapitate him and enjoy his head as isi ewu with some chilled palmwine

From a Reliable source : Lagos State University (LASU) will soon be renamed Lateef Jakande University (LJU).

You heard it from dem MANNA first!

We only wonder why it has to be after his death that they are doing this.

From all of us @[/b] : RIP SIR.

[b]He was a great man.
He lived a Good life.
His legacy lives on.
I trust lagosians massive protest against that. New estate should be named after him not LaSu.

Unilag that don't even have aluta spirit even protested when they wanted to change their name.

Trust e no fit happen, tho I respect jakande but this one no fit happen. Our eyes are open

Don't mind these people. Hypocrisy sometimes ago someone was boasting to me in akure that our governor in Lagos is from ondo origin(ambode) , that I should stop claiming Lagos natives . funny thing is they were much speaking with same voice and told me no one is Lagos indigene.

APART FROM BUHARI ALL NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE THIEFS.

Just search the man's name on this platform, you'd see that those who know him have been celebrating him before his death. Especially people who are against Tinubu in Lagos state.

I think the man's misstep of becoming a minister under Abacha's evil regime while many were fighting Abacha was what killed him politically in the South West. Naturally, when those people who were in the NADECO struggle started reaping their reward politically, he could not join them at the table.

Educationally we are there, check our students in Unilag and LASU. We are not thugs or destroyers. Proudly Igbomina, reason we are celebrating Baba Oni Jakande lati Omu Aran, Igbomina.

In as much I concur with the aforementioned listed of achievement of Igbomina/Omu Aran/Kwara people in Lagos, you technically didn’t mention the contribution of Ganiyu Oyedepo alias Koko Zaria ( a popular NURTW member in Lagos).� �

In other news, Kwara people are humble, industrious, they're loyal to the call they don't tolerate nonsense just like Idi Agbon reason why they gave them State of harmony, so they should investigate Lai Mohammed if truly he's from Kwara.
