Tunde Bank-Anthony, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, has cautioned the supporters of the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to stop deceiving Nigerians about Tinubu’s achievements in the state.

While speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, Bank-Anthony said Tinubu’s supporters were telling lies to Nigerians in a bid to get acceptability for their candidate.

He said before Tinubu, those who had been in charge of the state had done an exceptional job while also noting that Tinubu’s successors as Lagos State governor had done a better job than he did in eight years.

Bank-Anthony, who is the spokesman for the Concerned Lagosians, an APC group, said Mr Babatunde Fashola’s achievements as governor of the state were more visible than that of Tinubu, enjoining the supporters of the presidential candidate to anchor their campaign on something else.

He also warned Tinubu’s supporters not to claim glory for the achievements of Fashola and his successors, former Governor Akinwumi Ambode and incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Bank-Anthony said, “Our candidate now, everything he [Tinubu] is campaigning with is Lagos as if in the last 100 years, Lagos has seen nothing like him. But we as Lagosians need to set the record straight.

“I’m almost 60 years old, grew up on the Island. I don’t remember a road on the Island that was not tarred but the problem is that the politics they are playing now gives us a lot of concerns.

“The politics that Lagos was developed by Tinubu who happens to be the candidate of my party is unacceptable. Lagos has always been. You call New York, you call Paris, you call London, you call Lagos. The school he [Tinubu] went to in Lagos, did he build it? Where he was born, did he build the hospital?”

He said all APC members in Lagos were on the same page in support of Tinubu’s candidacy but insisted that his group would not be a party to the lies being peddled by the APC presidential candidate’s supporters.

However, Wole Badmus, the Executive Director of South West Grand Alliance for Tinubu-Shettima 2023, while speaking on the programme, argued that Tinubu became the governor of the state when infrastructure was decaying, adding that the infrastructural decay in Lagos forced the federal government to move Nigeria’s capital to Abuja.

While insisting that Tinubu transformed Lagos, he stressed that Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu were all products of Tinubu’s school of thought.

He said Tinubu’s 25-year blueprint for Lagos is being implemented to date, pointing out that it was not out of place to give him the credit for the successes being recorded in the state to date.

Badmus, who acknowledged the inputs of former governors, especially Alhaji Lateef Jakande, insisted that Tinubu is the father of modern Lagos.

Was Lagos a slum before in true sense?

We know.

Lagos has always been blessed with good leaders.
Jakande, Marwa, e.t.c.

Talking Nonsense.

Has Lagos not grown in leaps and bounds compared to the Nation?

A sensible politician, I'm sure this man is a real Lagos indigene

Tinubu is the worst governor Lagos state has ever had. That's the point.


Let's set the records straight. Nobody should come and lie to anyone here like you all did with Buhari's 1984 failures.

He's over 60 and has lived all his life in Lagos. Apparently, he knows more than all the fan boys on this forum.

Acidosis:

How could he be the worst governor when the blueprint for development was initiated in his time?

Lagos has a template unlike most states on Nigeria without a masterplan.

Not only did he make the design he started to implement those plans for instance, opening up the Lekki-Ajah corridor.

He spent 8 years designing blueprints while Ambode spent only 4 years delivering visible and tangible projects?

Are you not ashamed to say this?

Now the nonsense blueprint you all talk about ends next year (25th year). Ask yourself, is this Lagos of 2022/2023 the Tinubu's masterplan?? A masterplan without water system? Blocked drainage system? Heavy traffic?

The reason Anambra state is a shithole is because it has no plan.

I even gave you an example of the Lekki-Ajah corridor which might even be where you live.

What's the big deal in designing a masterplan? Majority of the states (or at least the state capital) have master plans.

Whether your successors follow the plan or not should no longer be your business once you hand over power. Lagos is not Tinubu's property.

And what's the point citing Anambra state? Akwa became Anambra's capital only in 1991. Should that really be a basis for your comparison? Of course, I don't expect you to know. Many of you have lived in Lagos all your lives so the myopic thought isn't unexpected.

Lagos used to be in the same league with the likes of Paris and London before Tinubu. How about that?

We know na. Useless people

Even if Tinubu, himself informs them, they won't still believe.
The disease of over fellow-fellow is that you lose your senses join.

Now, who developed Abuja?

hahahaha
if am looking Tinubu face I feel like screeming
I swear

na lie Tinubu developed Lagos State with agberos and touts. Lagos landlord

Abeg ask them ooooo

They will be shouting master plan, master plan, he raised tax revenue generated up and down.
That man was a monumental failure.
He looted that state dey for the 8 years he did as governor.
He did NOTHING.
