Lagos Was Bankrupt When Tinubu Took Over In 1999 - Gov. Sanwo Olu by lhordspy: 12:40pm On Oct 21, 2022
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State says as governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), revived the economy of the state from bankruptcy in 1999.

*Says only seven percent of the roads in Lagos State were tarred in 1999.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the 22nd National Women’s Conference of the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), Sanwo-Olu called on women in the state to mobilise support for Tinubu.

Represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, the governor said: “We are a nation of history and part of our problem as a nation is that we have forgotten our history; is that we have westernised ourselves, is that we have broken our developmental trend. How do we bring it back? We must bring it back by allowing people who have precedents to do the work. It is as simple as that.

“Look at how beautiful and impactful this conference has been. It is because everybody came together to work hard led by a very competent First Lady. So, if we want a nation where our own children and grandchildren will be happier than us, it is time to vote for a man who has done it before.

“There are no two ways about it; we must look at what people have done and how they have done it. People forget that in 1999, Lagos State was bankrupt; this state does not have a single ambulance in 1999.

“Only seven percent of the roads in Lagos State were tarred in 1999. So, a lot has happened and the foundation was laid by the man Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We are not being sentimental; we are just saying let us move our country forward. We belong in the nation of the disciplined and respected not just we go somewhere and they are saying Nigerians should move to one side. No! We are a very important people and the future of the black man in the world rests on Nigeria and we should not miss this opportunity.”

Some people usually ask why we agbadorians dont always try so hard in marketing Asiwaju instead we spend so much of our time countering the hate and endless lies from the oppositions; the enemies of Nigeria.

I usually say to them: Garri no get advert, not even on twitter, not on facebook, but e dey sell pass indomie smiley

You know why Lamborghini is not advertise on TV: Because people wey fit afford them no dey watch TV.

You can keep constituting nuisance online for your social media president. The real voters, our target, will decide the election just as they did for Buhari 2015,2019. De ja vu!

What more can you say about ASIWAJU TINUBU, what more is left to say about a proven leader, a political god, and an inclusiclve, decisive, fearless, dedicated, innovative , influential, deligent - administrator, strategist and a forward thinker.

A man who has calculated every obstacles, hurdles and misfortune that can befall any development ,by putting in place perfect, impeccable, foolproof solutions to counter them before it happen.


I have nothing to say except:
VOTE COMPETENCE
RENEWED HOPE2023

Lagos was a typical village before Thiefnibu came in 1999 and changed it to a mega city now at par with Dubai.

Please vote Thiefnibu for President of Lagos

You mean the former capital of Nigeria had only 7percent roads tarred in 1999? Even Ibadan roads were not in that stage.

The Economic capital of Nigeria where everybody was rushing too was in a stage of total and.complete comatose. A state that had all the best infrastructure in Nigeria there? grin grin

Wonderful!

He grants interviews, he’s quoting fake figures!

He travels to meet with Nigerians in diaspora, it’s unnecessary!

He left PDP, he’s like the rest!

He visited the flood victims, he went to campaign!

Peter Obi has set high standards!
Keep wailing because your candidates can never!

This is not different from what Seun said on twitter. He said and I quote "Tinubu used drug money to buy Lagos (meaning Lagos was broke), and now he wants to use Lagos money to buy Nigeria (Because Nigeria is broke). So yes, he met a broke Lagos and used drug money to buy the whole place and some persons too. Sanwolu is right

shocked shocked So it means Lagos as a former capital was bankrupt, Lagos as a key trade and commerce city was bankrupt.

El Chapo surely did wonders in Lagos, it's no wonder he keeps running away from the wonders he created to regularly chill in London.

He certainly mitigated the effects of the bankruptcy from contents of the bullion van he keeps driving into his residence at Ikoyi

Agbado urchins like Sanwo-Olu should be ashamed of themselves

IPOB/BIAFRA VS TINUBU/YORUBA:
TOLERANCE BECOMING A CRIME.


1. Why do we hate Tinubu?
What for?


2. Tinubu never worked with federal or Eastern Nigeria let alone stealing money from Ndi Igbo.
He never worked as Minister or taken any Federal Appointment!

3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging our Party's interest?

4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs either!

5. Why do we call him thief?
What did he steal?

6. We call Yoruba "slaves".
We never reflect on what it means to be slaves in the true sense of the word.

7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics without caution, yet we have a proverb that says it is the foolish housefly that follows the corpse into the grave.

8. Can Yoruba man become an Association or Local Government Chairman in the East? Let us be sincere with ourselves.
Yet, we enjoy all these privileges here including Assembly Membership!

9. Why asking for what we can't give?

10. We are here helping the "slaves" to develop their land. Who then is a slave?
10b. You call their city a no man's land so that we can further be enslaved slaving to develop it, and our generations are wasted gloating over mere privileges.
Who is a slave?
Do we actually think?

11. Can Yoruba tell Okorocha "o to gee" in Owerri?
He doesn't even need it.
He is too intelligent to die for a pot of ofe manu or nothing.

12. After the civil war, for many of us who were old enough to have witnessed it, the Yoruba were the first to open their arms to receive and accept us as we were, crude savages in search for means of survival.
It was regardless of what we equally did to them before and during the civil war. No party to the civil war was innocent!
I also remember not paying any rent among Yoruba guys without a penny for my first 3years in Lagos and another 2 years in Ibadan.

13. Can we survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba land if they actually mean to?
Will an Mbaise man cooperate with the Nsukka or Afikpo, or the Imo with Anambara?

14. If we all decide to relocate at once, Babangida send me home phenomena is still in the memory of some of us who survived the incessant and uncontrollable spate of robbery across the Onitsha bridge.
How many people will want to go in spite of our empty pride?

15. If Yoruba people are as foolish as we foolishly think, why agitating?
How will agitating be to our benefit?

16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or Owerri?

17. Can a man from Aba become a Commissioner or Perm.Sec. in Enugu State Civil Service?
Yet it happened here!
Why not be careful.

18. We adopted APGA and but "wisely" voted PDP.
How was Tinubu our headache.
Was he the cause of our downfall?
Why always blame others for our inabilities and want to take glory for any small thing we think we have done well and even overblow it?

19. We claim we were so creative during the civil war.
Now history.
We also claim every made in Nigeria is from Aba.
But go to Oyo and Osogbo to see what "lazy" mechanics are doing quietly in the automobile industry, yet we make noise that other ethnics are either mumu or lazy except we (alagbara ma mero baba ole; the most hardworking humans who cannot develop their own land unfortunately).

20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why?

21. It was you in the North being attacked, in Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana being molested. 99.9% of Nigerians killed in South Africa are of Igbo extraction, and sometimes by fellow 'hardworking' Igbo. Why?

22. We choose Kanu and he dictates to us without consultation with any one of us. They choose Tinubu who becomes a hero among them by bowing to or adopting the choice of their majority.

Why are we angry?
We chose Azikwe and they chose Awolowo.
How are they more mumuish followers than ourselves?
Zik became a President and we gained from it, Awo was only a Premier, but we are only struggling to beat their records in all ramifications including education till today.
How are they mumus?
We chose APGA and they chose APC, why agitating?

Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem why do we want to die for nothing?
Why working in APGA but planning to collect salaries in APC?

If your Biafra comes, but do we still remember that as Igbo we will automatically become foreigners on the streets of the Lagos we call a no Man's land?

How many of us will actually want to relocate home, should Biafra actualises or if citizenship is on the condition that you relinquish all other citizenship in Africa?

We leave that answer to the individual.
Nwayo nwayo biko unu.

Whatever. Tinubu of 1999 is not Tinubu of 2022. Shettima was programmed by Buhari cabal to succeed President Buhari if Atiku fails. Shettima has even arrogated the post of Commander in Chief of the armed forces to himself, long before the presidential election campaign began.
