NATIONAL Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, says he has no doubt that former governor of Lagos State, Mr Raji Fashola, will excel in his new ministerial assignment.

Referring to the minister as his political product, Tinubu recalled how he was antagonised over the choice of Fashola as his successor.

Tinubu was speaking at the commissioning and launch of the Mile 12-Ikorodu Road widening and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operation.

“We conquered the enemy when they said it was impossible through Raji Fashola,” he said.

“You saw what happened when he was made minister yesterday. Lagos took the front seat. I am now a proud grandfather and I have no doubt he will succeed in that assignment.

“Leadership is about how many people you are able to bring up, build up and develop. I have done my bit.”

He also commended Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of the state, whom he said was “sought out” to lead the state.

The APC leader described the governor as “very creative” and commended him for his contributions toward making Lagos a model city.

Tinubu expressed optimism that Nigeria would succeed beyond people’s imaginations.

“We are in the front row now and we will ensure that Nigeria is turned around and succeeds beyond your imagination,” he said.

On his part, Ambode reassured the people of Lagos that he would address the issue of traffic congestion and improve road networks in the state.

He also pledged his government’s commitment to the infrastructural renewal and development of the state.

“Today’s commissioning is a milestone in public transportation system in the state,” he said.









“It is a delivery of world-class transport infrastructure that will bring comfort and convenience to commuters, particularly Ikorodu residents.”

He said that the BRT system was initiated as part of strategies to modernise the public transport, like other major city states in around.

“It is intended to provide efficient service that will encourage patronage by the middle-class thereby reducing the number of private vehicles on our roads,” he said. “Today, the BRT system has to a large extent lived up to that expectation.”

Mr Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun State, was also present at the occasion.

Governor Ambode performed the official commissioning with other dignitaries, including Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Tunji Bello; Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Sanai Agunbiade; Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Dayo Mobereola; Ayangburen of Ikoroduland, Oba Kabiru Sotobi.

Bros, forget that side jare. Make we no even start this argument at all. We compliam of bad leadership since independence and majority of the bad/corrupt past leaders are Northerners. Abdulrasheed Maina was appointed to sanitise the pension sector, but he only ended up looting more pension funds. Farida Waziri as EFCC boss protected her benefactor(Ibori) and other corrupt politicians. Farouk Lawan disgracefully took bribe from a subsidy thief. Atiku's corruption is equal to non. Is it Sanusi? Abeg stop telling me that the northerners are more honest. That's a FAT lie! A thief is a thief whether North or South.

and a competent guy is a competent guy either North or south!

TonyeBarcanista:
EFCC Chairmen so far...

Nuhu Ribadu (North)- 2004-2007

Farida Waziri(North)- 2007-2011

Ibrahim Lamorde(North)- 2011-2015

Ibrahim Mustafa Magu(North)_ Incumbent.


Is EFCC the exclusive preserve of the North? This is becoming sectional and it is unacceptable.

Pseudo analyst you can go to law courts if you are pained but we are totally in support of the best man doing the job. Continue to wail for all I care.

all PDP sponsored public disturbances shall fail. Oshoimole enjoys our total support as he continues to clean Edo of PDP 's decade long mess. we your supporters are far more than these paid noisemakers and are ready to defend democracy without being paid or bought by yesterday's thieves who think we are fools. They did more worse ignoble pranks in your reelection and the last general elections but they all kissed the political dust, n dust they shall kiss again. amen.

Guy, suffry dey lie na!

Analyse that your post again and give yourself a knock on the head.

Are you trying to say 8 out of every 10 black NBA players are Igbos? Then the likes of Kobe, Wade, Curry, James are most likely Igbos.

even Hakeem olajuwon.

Because GEJ didn't win reelection hence this protest? to cover up what? is this not hypocrisy? what happens to anything built on hypocrisy like Yesom Wike? despite similar gra gra during d last election, my people lost to common sense. Time shall tell.

Gbawe:
Indeed. You put it well. Folks should study the interpretation a legal expert made of the judgement below before making sentimental statements because of political and sectional affiliations. PDP left itself open to all we are seeing today because the Party simply loves impunity and criminal behaviour even when such is unnecessary and not needed at all. PDP and its fan should spare us this current "victimisation" talk they are running around Nigeria with. Did you do wrong or not is the question the Party and its supporters must face. Can it be proven you did wrong? If yes then why complain when the entire world knows Nigeria is no longer under the control of the PDP whereby impunity is always allowed to go unpunished?

you hit the nail on PDP's head jor!

Quote the provisions of the law vis-a-vis the tribunal verdict n let's see who is sentimental here Mr Judge!

sandraokosun1:
listen to urself, a man that usa senators, reps and political colosus and united states first citizens troop around to learn from. The bill gates and buffet of the usa what sch did they go to. Its reamains the problem of the backward africans who are enslaved to education. The originators who we borrow the culture frm treat achievements first before education. You would not be noticed if u attended all its schs and no achievement. Ask the rick ross, jayz how they are 1st class citizens in us. Today ask buruji why he dread us visa. Our own is celebrated, we shouldnt berate him

Sandra sweeeeeet Okosun hahahahaha u rock baby!

SenseiX:
Na lie I talk

If no be lie u dey lie or no be say u dey spread our enemy,PDP , lies of 16 years against their nemesis, show say u go school by listing d thing Tinubu steal, where ,date n other relevant infos for us to learn. if not u remain a li...ar!

SenseiX:
So Jagaban is actually a community college alumni , no wonder he's so street.
Community colleges are like vocational training schools for dropouts and never do wells who couldn't finish High school and whose highest qualification is a GED. Nigerian Polytechnics are even better.
Doesn't change the fact he is an effective politician albeit a very corrupt one at that.
Just Saying

story ,story that an all powerful n lawless PDP told us for 16 years ,the way Wike is tells lies about Amaechi, n couldn't establish a case in any court of law! who is fooling who? Jagaban refused to join thieving PDP even when he was alone in the political wilderness . Detribalised, foresighted, dogged and mega effective human manager n strategist. No Nigerian alive has matched Tinubu ! God bless Jagaban! wailing wailers can hug thunder, who cares!

TonyeBarcanista:
He's very intelligent no doubt...

Wailing wailers can go hug transformer for all we care. Jagaban - the nemesis of PDP n cluelessness!

Buzzj17:
Gradually, the truth about Wike(d) will come out.
He is the governor, commissioner, head of due process and everything all at once. He is there taking loans all over the place and patching roads. Rivers people are blind and are not asking the cost of resurfacing these roads compared to how much loan Wike has collected or how much monthly allocation and IGR he is getting. Smh

we are removing Wike n he ain't seen nothing yet. who is Wike?

LastSurvivor:
Are u kidding me? a scam that almost made us self sufficient in food, a scam that took the then minister of agriculture where he is today.. buhari has stolen ur sense of reasoning

food sufficiency that left d farmer poorer e.g the fraudulent import waiver on rice that fundamentally fractured d local production? Adeshina had great ideas that rogue politicians didn't allow Nigerians to benefit from. Need I tell that was leadership problem?

vivaciousvivi:
Yes sir!

Lols, Vivy can I pm u?

Vinshu please go get this book: The Tao of Loving. you might help a lot of female folks out there who are shy to reveal their sexual depravity in public. just find d book, or I lend u my copy.

godox2:
I love you and your beautiful comments. Those that decided to close their eyes to the positive things that PMB is doing (deliberately), may they remain blind till they repent. May their resource be managed, the way their hero GEJ managed Nigeria,, till they repent. This your post is for REAL Nigerians, not enemies of our GREAT Country. Say NO to HATE coments.
God bless us all and open the the eyes of blind Nigerians, to see and feel this magic touch by PMB.

isn't it fraudulent to say GEJ till 2030 and in the same breath say Biafra because GEJ was defeated?

vivaciousvivi:
mamagee3 unlike others, I won't even bother to look at your profile picture to validate or not validate what your co-worker said to you. Learn to understand that the world out there is cruel and there are people that feel they need to throw insults out there to feel a warped sense of "superiority".
You need to learn to develop a thick skin. U can't go into the world taking every insult personal. Learn to build your self esteem please.
And whatever you do, NEVER let your misguided coworker realise how much his words hurt you. Raise your head high and be proud to know you are a wonderful creation from God.
You are NOT ugly!

you know, u always say it as it should. just know that somebody knows.

omenka:
Baba, you don't need to burn a juole of energy explaining this to anybody. Those of us who fought hard in the little way we can to ensure you become the president understand those critical indices with which we calibrate the barometer of your admin.

Those who insist on judging you based on your religion, your dentition, the colours of the clothes you wear, the cost of your wife's wrist watch, the school your daughter attends, the size of your cattle herd, how Obama shook hands with you, your accent, and other such frivolities are the sore losers that would perpetually see absolutely nothing good everything you do. They are called the Wailing Wailers, Yowling Yowlers, and in some cases, TANoids.

They simply can't come to terms with the failure that currently abides with them despite all their inane projections of trampling on Nigerians for 60 Years uninterupted.

Concentrate on the good works you are doing and leave us to handle the distractions.

We know you will NOT disappoint us, and so far you've been making us really proud of the Choice we made in the last election.

Omenka , you rock! Baba should just leave the media war and PR to us. no be PDP?

This pseudo analyst has not been able to point out how GMB government has been hijacked by the so called Cabal. Infact the cabal are not finding it funny under Buhari e.g who would have tot that a serving senate President can be docked? or a Sambo Dazuki - errand boy of d gap toothed monster who hijacked GEJ - would be charged for possessing arms illegally ,or to come and answer inquiry about arms procurement when he was an NSA?
oh oil marketer cabals are even afraid too!
Haven't we noticed the drastic reduction in police collecting bribes?
Ministries n parastatals are now being very careful with their accounts, job racketeering etc
The truth is that there is a positive change in Nigeria ,a fertile soil that is inimical to the growth of negative cabals and unpatriotic wailing wailers.
God Bless Nigeria n APC . Sai Buhari!

story,story.

LastSurvivor:
Agriculture really improved during GEJs regime but the only agricultural policy the dullard has embarked on was to remove ban on rice importation.
Which way Nigeria

The agric improvement under your GEJ was a big scam given d financial goodwill,international support n Nigerians' cooperation it enjoyed. How many farmer were lifted from poverty in GEJ's 6 years? For example Benue is a food basket but many foods go waste post harvest because there were no real value addition strategies on ground to help d farmers but cosmetics. PMB is just 5months in the saddle n time will tell d difference between a 4 years deliberate policy n a 6 years cosmetics on Nigerian Agriculture.

vivaciousvivi:
adewumiopeyemi I really don't c how this situation is any of your business. Nothing is hidden under the sun, true but if and when the truth should come out, simply feign ignorance. Don't discuss it with any third parties at all. Its not your place and the entire neighbourhood would end up viewing u as a gossip monger or someone not to be trusted if u end up being d informant.

u tight finish! u too correct!

omenka:
Wike and PDP just inadvertently made this man a mystical Legend out of their desperation to put him to shame.

The hand of God is indeed upon the gentleman.

Wike just bit more dust today. Eyaa. I hope that man doesn't commit suicide oo because one can only take so much pain and still live to recall what he went through.

#God bless Niger Delta First Son and the Lion of Africa.

n God bless omenka

God bless Numero Uno Bola Ahmed one- man- army Tinubu, Jagaban, Nightmare of PDP , guardian archangel of Nigerian democracy. Congrats !
