Posted by Makinde Azeez . on Mar 20, 2021 Babatunde Fashola is currently trending on Twitter.. Just to know what is happening, I quickly joined the trend and it was Nigerians comparing Governor Seyi Makinde’s achievements in just 2 years to that of Babatunde Fashola when he was the Governor of Lagos for 8 years. A particular man who goes by the name on Twitter “Olamide @iam_lammy ” even went further to say Governor Seyi Makinde has done more Fashola. See his tweet below:- Nigerian Feels Fashola Is The Best Governor In The History Of Nigeria So Far…. The standard Fashola created back then when he was the Governor of Lagos was so high that many say’s he’s the “Best Governor In Nigeria Ever “… His great achievements and the way people sees him even made President Buhari to make him the Minister of 3 powerful ministries because he believe he can handle and run them well but I don’t think Fashola has done anything meaningful ever since he became Minister (I stand to be corrected). Other Governors Need To Learn From Seyi Makinde With the achievements Governor Seyi Makinde has recorded in the last 22 months, it’s no doubt that he’s the best Governor in Nigeria right now.. In case you don’t agree with me, feel free to argue with you keypad if you don’t believe. Many people even jokingly said the President should summon all the other Governors to go and learn from Seyi Makinde on how to run their state efficiently and achieve awesome result. Well, we have a question for you all Do You Think Governor Seyi Makinde Can Beat Fashola’s Achievement When He Was A Governor? Let’s hear from you all as regards this issue. Drop your comments

What and what has Makinde achieved

Go to Alakia , Old Ife road and see the road Ajimobi left at almost 80% completion, goto Iwo Road , goto bashorun

This is 2 years please mention any of his projects

Just watching that Makinde guy for now. Let's wait till next year before making any conclusion. In terms of infrastructural development I think the only governor that can be compared to Fashola is Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom state. And maybe Kwankwaso-Kano state.

Wike and Ganduje are also trying just that they have bad reputation

Did you just mean that YeyeMakinde and that CCTV camera detector Okay, just some minutes....

In term of real governance , I give it to makinde. Infrastructures depend on fund availability. Security depends on national security architecture.
Without funds, all Lagos governors from 1999 are not special.jakande is the governor Lagos has produced. With little funds, he turned Lagos state around.

These useless PDP miscreants...What has Makinde done in OYO?

Makinde is a failure.

Jerryherd:

Wike can never do half what Ameachi did in Rivers

Is that the reason why some greedy politicians are sponsoring all sorts of violence to slow him down till 2023.

Seyi Makinde is not a man of the people of Oyo State, he's been playing politics with the lives of the Yorubas in Igangan Ibarapa, he waited for two years after the killings and kidnappings started there before he decided to pay attention to the crises over there, the attention he forcefully paid because of a Sunday Igboho, these killings wouldn't have stopped and more innocent lives would have been lost, don't ever compare both of them because it's a comparison between success and failure.

Rotimi Amaechi did better as a governor than Akpabio and ganduje combined

If you are unaware, Lagos deliberately prioritized growth of IGR as a sacrosanct part of the administrative solution required to reposition the State for success and growth.

Lagos self-funded it's own growth. In fact your attempt to put down Lagos administrators only damn other Governors of the SW like Makinde. All SW Governors since 1999 have failed to develop their States optimally because, unlike Tinubu, they are indolent thinkers.

At the core of their administrative philosophy is the idea FG must provide them funds to build this and that whereas Tinubu introduced PPP model (private public sector partnership) to fund infrastructural growth and he anchored the financial independence of Lagos on massive IGR growth to wean the State of dependence on FG allocation crippling all other SW States who remain almost 100% dependent on allocation from Abuja.

If objective, and looking at factual evidence, you would agree Lagos and her leaders are far above anything else in Nigeria. As a Yoruba I am only really proud of Lagos because I think all SW Governors still don't understand the concept of sustainable development and growth. It is all about IGR and making your own money rather than relying totally on that others give you. Tinubu, unlike all others in Nigeria, realized this very important concept.

Ogun state, as an example, remains a massive dissapointment because it should leverage on proximity to Lagos to successfully become another outstanding Nigerian State rather than the ordinary one it is.

SW Governors should bury their pride and seek to use simpler versions of the template BAT and his successors used to transform Lagos immensely.

This era Ganduje is the only standout governor followed by Obiano all those PDP sycophants hyping Umahi are fooling only their fathers.

Then Amechi wasn't too far then, you see governor nowadays from the north to south all are oloriburuku.

If you swap lagos governor with any of south west state, you will see similar disappointment. Lagos is cente if national economic activity. With massive looting of Lagos treasury, there would be funds for white elephant projects.

What do u mean by governance?

Tinubu puppet! He did nothing for lagos

Yes and that is because of the popular saying credited to Michael Jordan that says "There is no 'i' in team but there is in win".

It is about teamwork. Tinubu realized that an created a leadership model that ensures every Governor works within an established and all-important team rather than what obtains in virtually all States of Nigeria where the Governor is an arrogant and dictatorial figure who thinks he knows best and would even dismiss the opinions of experts more knowledgeable than he/she is.

Tinubu deliberately tried to vest in Lagos team and institutional integrity that is greater than even the Governor whoever he or she is.

It would be hard for a Lagos governor to fail spectacularly because the team that runs Lagos is never chosen nepotistically, egotistically or to satisfy political expediency as is the case throughout Nigeria. Most leaders in Lagos , in every sector, are very successful and proven solutions providers with solid careers verifying their competence and ability.

Once again you prove the danger of having biases and a closed mind. Everything you seek to discredit Lagos with actually shows the unique thinking of it's leaders others are simply a million years away from.

Simple truth is that Tinubu, love or hate him, knows the importance, in Nigeria, of putting round pegs in round holes everywhere and ensuring they have the freedom to work and deliver. It is one of the cornerstone policies of Lagos that keeps the State moving forward while all around her in the SW, and nationally,are stagnant. You don't have to take my word for it. They are the opinion of many expert and brilliant specialists and analysts also like Lamido Sanusi.

“In the past 18 years, Lagos has transformed,” says Lamido Sanusi, a former central bank governor. “In terms of roads, in terms of infrastructure, in terms of governance, in terms of a general investment environment, in terms of security, the government has given people a greater opportunity to thrive.”

Mr Sanusi, who is now the Emir of Kano, a city in the less prosperous north, says Lagos has provided a template for the whole of Nigeria. “That is what we need at the national level.”

The only Governor worse than seyi makinde is dapo abiodun of Ogun state,if you disagree you can argue with shekau

Now swap Tinubu with any popular politician from any state in SW. You will see similar result. Money makes things work for him. Lagos gdp is more than some countries. Yes, tinubu is politically smart but I have to tell you reason behind his political success. If he had not governed lagos , he would never have this opportunity.

We are going around in circles here. "Lagos GDP is more than some Countries" but who do you credit with that feat?

The FG? The numerous inflow of Nigerians from every corner into Lagos? The large population and thus market of Lagos?

No. It is the bolder part in the article below all dispassionate experts credit with the transformation of Lagos even though Nigerians, for their own sentimental and tribalistic reasons, will never agree. In fact most things you or anyone can cite as an "advantage" of Lagos, such as her huge population" would easily be big disadvantages but for the brilliant administrative management of Lagos.

Also, population influx into Lagos would not be what it is today if Lagos, through leadership competence at all levels, is not bucking the general stagnation trends of her fellow Nigerian States. It is good leadership that attracted the population to Lagos that then continued to challenge the leadership of Lagos to inspire them towards better and greater solutions delivery.


At the end of the day, and for our own efficacy as human beings, it is always important to seperate sentiments and emotions from verifiable facts and proven reality.

Since the federal government moved to Abuja in 1991, Nigeria’s former capital and commercial hub of roughly 20m people has taken off. Starting in 1999, with the election of Bola Tinubu, a former Mobil Oil executive, Lagos has had three administrations that have harnessed the private sector to turn the city into the most productive and dynamic part of Nigeria’s economy. It was by offering Mr Dangote tax incentives in the Lekki free trade zone that the state persuaded him to build his refinery in Lagos.

Lagos state output in 2017 was $136bn, according to official estimates, more than a third of Nigeria’s gross domestic product. The city is the centre of most of the country’s manufacturing and home to a pan-African banking industry as well as a thriving music, fashion and film scene that reverberates around the continent. More recently, it has become a tech hub to rival Nairobi’s so-called Silicon Savannah.

The Lagos economy is significantly bigger than that of the whole of Kenya, east Africa’s most dynamic country, with a nominal per capita income of more than $5,000, more than double the Nigerian average.

Lagos being formal fct, rural to urban migration , presence of ports and industries make it easier for Tinubu to make money to assemble his team.
