NakedTruth4eva: LIES. Eko Atlantic city, Lekki seaport, BRT and even the other mentioned items were not done by Tinubu. Stop accruing things that were executed by other Lagos Governors to Tinubu.
All of them are Tinubu's brainchild. Go figure.
This was Obasanjo lauding Tinubu on Lekki trade zone here below
rickyrex: take your hand typion google each achievement you mentioned as tinubu to see the year and governor who accomplish it. I no get time for arguement at all
rickyrex: foolishness is when you combined other governors achievement and selfishly give to one person because of godfatherism. except no be this same lagos wey i don dey live for over 35years and still counting. If you ever post this nonsense as tinubu achievement, may all your achievement in life be claimed by someone else
Mention any achievement on my list that belongs to any governor. You dey ment or what?
Wintertime: Tinubu created Local Council Development Areas, against the approval of the Obasanjo-led federal government. As a penalty, the federal government directed the Minister of Finance to withhold the Local government fund of Lagos, and other states who created LCDAs.
A 2004 circular to state governors by the then Finance Minister, contained a letter from President Obasanjo directing the minister not to release the local government funds of Lagos, Ebonyi, Katsina, Nasarawa and Niger states.
Also, the then Attorney General of Lagos, Yemi Osinbajo sued the federal government for the decision. The subject of dispute was that the federal government withheld the payment of funds due to Lagos’ Local Government Councils from the Federation Account. The plaintiff argued that it was a constitutional violation.
An explainer of the Lagos state government’s argument on naigeria-law.org reads in part: “Arguing the plaintiff’s case, Professor Osinbajo (SAN) learned Attorney-General of Lagos State, adopted the plaintiff’s brief of argument and contended that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has no right to withhold the payment of fund due to the Local Government Councils from the Federation Account under Section 162 subsection (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He submitted that the powers exercisable by the President under section 162 of the Constitution are purely executive in nature and are neither legislative nor judicial. He referred to Section 162 subsection (4) of the Constitution and argued that the provisions thereof did not give the President any discretion.”
In addition, while he was motivating state governors to improve their respective state’s generating capacity, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, last year, acknowledged that the federal government withheld Lagos local government fund in 2004, until the end of the Obasanjo government.
CONCLUSION
The federal government only withheld the Local government fund of Lagos from 2004. The Federation Account allocates revenue to each federating unit, including states and local government areas, hence, Lagos as a state would not have been denied. If it was, it would have been included in the legal dispute. Also, the LG fund withheld in 2004, was eventually released to the state. but, the Tinubu administration received all its allocations from 1999 when he became governor, till he left office in 2007. His claim that he received “zero allocation” is false.
obynzo: Oga BRT was Fashola and not Tinubu. I had people working with LAMATA Tinubu muted it but never prepared the blueprint. It was Fashola bros you are not even knowledgeable about Lagos. Concerning PO's achievements I believe other people showed you hos achievements unless your Laptop or mobile phone is for enabled for braille reading then I will say for sure that you are blind, but you see this systematic manipulation ko le work again ra ra!!!!!! People have been commenting on this thread even responding to you with PO's achievements and you have the audacity to lie that they cannot list his achievements.
This is how madness begins. I showed you a video clip where Tinubu was talking about his BRT initiative in 2000 yet you're still spewing gibberish? You dey mad? Is it because Tinubu doesn't brag enough?
stanluiz: He has listed some his achievement yet you are still asking stupid questions.
Go and rest, you don't have anything to say.
He didn't.
I can boldly tell you that some southwest governors (excluding Lagos governors) have built few roads, renovated schools and given out materials to schools, regular payment of salaries and pension (Obi couldn't even pay salaries sef).
Should we then bring them out to contest for the presidency position?
Some southwest governors have even done more than the above.
However, we're talking about Tinubu's here. Gigantic unrivalled legacies Tinubu has got. How dare you compare Peter Obi to Tinubu's gigantic legacies? Na madness?
DDayve: FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS Peter Obi as GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)*
1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.
2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.
3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.
4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.
5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.
6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.
7. The State’s ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners – Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.
8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.
9. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -: a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi; b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala; c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha; d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.

10. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.
11. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.
12. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

15. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.
16. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.
17 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.
18. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.
19. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.
20. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.
21. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion – National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) – to Anambra State.

26. During his tenure and with his Government’s support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.
27. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.
30. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.
obynzo: Oga stop being cheeky. BRT was initiated by Fashola that was his first project with Ikorodu road im 2007 when he started. ECONET that we know unless there are two Econet we know of was not metro transport telecom(look for a better lie). They were Jakande schools that were renovated it was not built from scratch ok assuming you were correct ina state with massive population you constructed 4 and you are screaming like he did something monumental!!!! Oga you are pathetic. PO built several even more than 4 and he connected them to the Internet(go and verify). My folks stay in Lekki and I am yet to see any estate built for the poor by Tinubu( you think we don't have folks in Lagos). You guys think we can be deceived Oga stop this systematic deception and manipulation of people.
I showed you a video clip above where Tinubu was talking about BRT in 2000 yet you're still spewing gibberish? You dey mad or what?
I also showed you the new standard millennium schools with the year (2001) written on it yet you're still spewing another gibberish? Na madness?
Go Check on Tinubu's housing estates in Oba and lekki.
Econet is Airtel today btw.
Meanwhile, Envious urchins like you still can't list Peter Obi's achievement
Angelasisiano: Let me reply you, I have the time The answers to these questions here answers yours Please take your time... CHEERS

Who build Anambra state university Igbariam campus?
Who built over 500 kilometers road connecting different communities in Anambra?
Who gave N3.5 billion to listed mission hospitals?
Who purchased over 30,000 computers and distributed to schools across Anambra state?
Who bought 1000 vehicles from Innoson..sharing to schools, security outfits and traditional rulers.

Answer: Peter Obi
Get your PVC ready..!
#Obident is the movement
#Peterisbetter
Cc: Priness Umeadi
PETER OBI IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY...PERIOD
I have already answered you comprehensively below. Peter Obi rather invested his state funds into his family business.
Kagd10: These are the achievements you talk of? Lol
Same Peter Obi who couldn't pay his health workers salaries?
Or the same Peter Obi whom Obiano said he left 120bil debt for him as seen below?
Best roads network? Lol. Let's see the evidences.
Was it Peter Obi that built Ojukwu university to begin with? Lol. Ojukwu university was built in 2000.
Peter Obi could only build one private ward after converting a general hospital to a teaching hospital. That was what he did.
In fact, see what has become of the teaching hospital now.
Peter Obi rather invested his state funds into family business. The thief.
He built a few roads, renovated few schools and gave out few taxi/buses and laptops. That was all he did.
Are you telling me some state governor don't do more than these?
How dare you compare these to Tinubu's legacies of Eko Atlantic, Lekki trade zone, lekki seaport, BRT, Econet, gigantic LASU teaching hospital, several housing estates and enormous increase in Lagos revenues? You dey ment or what?
stanluiz: Pa jakande, Fashola, Ambode with other private and multinationals companies investment in Lagos has now turn to Tinubu achieving.
Lagos was capital of Nigeria for 7 decades. During that time, investment was pouring in Lagos due to oil boom in 60, 70 and 80s. FG invested massively in Lagos and built infrastructure in Lagos couple with the fact that Lagos has seaports.
Even former Governor jakande achievement in Lagos is still felt. So stop stealing people achievement and called it Tinubu achievement. That propaganda no dey sell again.
Federal government spent no kobo on Lekki seaport. Sink that into your skull.
All what I listed are Tinubu's legacies. He conceived it, designed it and birthed it, afterwhich he brought in investors.
Now mention the achievement of Fashola, Jakande etc that was in the list I mentioned. You dey mad.
Pierohandsome: Did Bola Tinubu play a role? What we know Bola Tinubu was the governor of Lagos when the auction by the federal government was conducted through the NCC. Remember that Masiyiwa mentions Lagos as one of the two states that financially supported the license fee.
Then, you will realise that the former governor of Lagos and APC presidential aspirant must have truly played a part in that process. While that may qualify as helping them, it will not qualify as “I brought Econet”. The decision to come to Nigeria, according to the founder, was his.
Also, the evidence shows that Lagos might have been a significant shareholder in the enterprise, but it wasn’t the largest holder. That may be because it wasn’t on the table at the onset, it was invited.
The former governor disclosed that the Lagos government’s investment in Econet Wireless Nigeria Limited (now Airtel) was a straightforward institutional investment, which earned the state a profit of more than ₦15 billion from an investment of ₦4 billion.
The exchange rate on January 31, 2001, was 133.4 naira to one dollar, so, it means Lagos paid approximately $29,985,007 out of the $285 million, which amounts to approximately 9.5% of the shares.
You Tinubu's urchin know nothing. Your drug lord achieved nothing as a Governor,rather than creating agbero.
Lateef Jakande, Fashola, Ambode,and currently Sanwolu did far better than your Desperado
Gibberish.
You can't debunk Tinubu's legacies I listed above.
Neither can you list Peter Obi's achievement. Peter Obi achieved nothing whatsoever.
uchennaq: You are the stupid one. You want an illiterate that can't even speak proper English to become the president of Nigeria. You must be an idiot not to know that when people get old their sense of reasoning or IQ goes down. All because of your tribalistic bigoted nature, you want grandpa that Nigeria is bigger than to become president. You must be an idiotic fellow.
List Peter Obi's achievement I repeat. You've got brain? use it.
Wintertime: No. 1 south east were marginalised No. 2 Lagos enjoy Obasanjo No. 3 Tinubu stole from Obasanjo even on the highest project he told Obasanjo about.. he stole from it and never completed it No. 4 the next governors tried to work but he kept collecting his share that led to the fight between him and Ambode... That's why you have agreed that he his landlord of Lagos State...
No. 5 90% of elephant project were executed by federal government and which Lagos have being enjoying...
No. 6 your conscience should tell you that there's port in Rivers State, Calabar. But the federal government only focus on Lagos State
No. 7 Kaysalas
Which marginalised?
You did realise that Obasanjo withheld Lagos allocation for several years while Tinubu was a governor yet Tinubu ensured Lagos thrived regardless.
All you wrote are gibberish.
You do realise that revenues from the seaport goes to the federal government?
Let me also inform you that the ports in Porthacourt, Calabar etc are working fine and are functioning. Go check there.
Meanwhile, Lagos' first seaport was built before the amalgamation of Nigeria. It was south West resources that built it. Lekki seaport was built by the partnership of Lagos and investors. Federal government spent no naira on it.
In fact, it's the southwest including Lagos who should be talking about marginalisation since they're the ones building their stuff yet revenues from such investment goes to the federal government.
Obasanjo did nothing for the southwest while he was the president. Lagos-ibadan federal road for example wasn't motorable while Obasanjo was the president. He withheld Lagos allocation. He did absolute nothing for Southwest.
DMerciful: When election comes, you'd realise that not everyone can be deceived. Tinubu during his tenure from 199-2007 wasn't that exceptional rather he has cornered a lot of Lagos commonwealth and the impoverished people are defending him!
See wailing and cries..
All Tinubu's legacies I listed are something you can't debunk. On the other hand, You can't list Peter Obi's achievement..
I repeat, you can't impose your monumental failure of Peter Obi on us. Peter Obi can only rule you in your village.
obynzo: Look this systematic misrepresentation gimmicks won't work we are out for you people
You dey ment..
Even LASU teaching hospital MD celebrates Tinubu everyday because Tinubu was the one who built the hospital and the clinical faculty for them.
Lekki seaport has its first cargo last week or so. It's completed already.
Eko Atlantic city is almost completed.
Econet is Airtel today.
Lekki trade zone is completed.
Millennium schools were schools Tinubu built from the scratch. That's why the numbers were mentioned. They were four in numbers. Four standard millennium schools as seen below.
Housing estates? Go check on Lekki and Oba housing estates. You dey mad or what?
BRT? This was Tinubu talking about metro transport, Telecom (Econet) etc just one year into his tenure as a Lagos' governor in 2000.
So how did BRT become Fashola's work when Tinubu initiated it and already had it on ground with investors before he left office? Is it because Tinubu doesn't brag?
ogatboy: Lol. You list Jakande, Fashola and Ambode's achievements as Tinubu's achievements. If na so Anambra airport na Obi achievement. Mumu people everywhere
Mention the ones which are Jakande, Fashola or Ambode's on the list.

- Do you want to see Peter Obi run for the office of the President?
BTW, Lekki trade zone, Eko Atlantic City, Lekki Seaport are private initiatives and not even govt owned/passive investment. Eko Atlantic is owned by Chagoury Family, Lekki Seaport is a consortium of Chinese Investors, Econet was a mere passive investment which some other governors like James Ibori of Delta keyed into.
Can your brain read this below?
Tinubu initiated the idea and birthed it after which he brought in private investors as partnership with Lagos. He already completed his work.
Lekki trade zone BRT, Eko Atlantic Lekki seaport etc are all Tinubu's brain child.
Prozico22: PETER OBI ACHIEVEMENT the best road network in nigeria anambra state one of the lowest state with poverty rate anambra anambra state university is not on strike because of PETER OBI paid all the pensioneer and during is tenure without owing anybody move anambra state education from 26 to 1st in WAEC bought 30000 laptop to all the secondary schools in anambra provide all the secondary school with school buses provide water to all the secondary school in anambra kept 50 billion in anambra state account reduce is convoy from 25 to 8 cars reject 600 million yearly from federal goverment for 8 years after leaving as governor impeach twice because he refuse to share state budget with cabals when he was a governor the government got burnt the budget the gave him was over 200 million but he cut it to 49 million when he was a governor the government office budget to renovate it was over 400 million he cut it to 80 million I didn't come here for us to exchange words i just gave you the little of his achievement i can defend. list your candidate achievement if he pass PETER OBI own i swear with my life i will quit supporting obi and go for your candidate
These are the achievements you talk of? Lol
Same Peter Obi who couldn't pay his health workers salaries?
Or the same Peter Obi whom Obiano said he left 120bil debt for him as seen below?
Best roads network? Lol. Let's see the evidences.
Was it Peter Obi that built Ojukwu university to begin with? Lol. Ojukwu university was built in 2000.
Peter Obi could only build one private ward after converting a general hospital to a teaching hospital. That was what he did.
In fact, see what has become of the teaching hospital now.
Peter Obi rather invested his state funds into family business. The thief.
He built a few roads, renovated few schools and gave out few taxi/buses and laptops. That was all he did.
Are you telling me no state governor does more than these?
How dare you compare these to Tinubu's legacies of Eko Atlantic, Lekki trade zone, lekki seaport, BRT, Econet, gigantic LASU teaching hospital, several housing estates and enormous increase in Lagos revenues? You dey ment or what?
Wintertime: In 1960 that broke into a civil war... That you all fight for Biafrans to come back
Why then gift for Biafrans to come back
Fight what to come back?
Don't delude yourselves.
If Ojukwu wanted to leave Nigeria, he would have called his people back home from the North and wouldn't dabble into the southsouth, Midwest and southwest zone.
He was free to leave with his southeastern states.
Instead, Nigerians still accommodated y'all, especially after hungers almost wiped your ancestors off. The southwest accommodated y'all the most but see what they get. You're repeating the same bullshit your ancestors did.
It's stupidity to expect anything tangible from Peter Obi who did nothing in Anambra.
Ask his supporters to list his achievement, they will keep mute. They can't list his achievement. What significant change has Peter Obi given you while he was Anambra governor? Absolute nothing.
Rather he was investing his state funds into his family business.
Some asked me to list Tinubu's legacy below.
Desperado14: Please tell us what shitimmi and tinubu have done? Genuinely
Pierohandsome: tell us what Tinubu achieved in Lagos as a Governor.
Well, Shettima can also be the VP of North East
These are Tinubu's legacies:
Tinubu legacies: 1. LASTMA. 2. Lekki trade zone. 3. LASU teaching hospital & clinical school. 4. Health care centers. 5. Eko Atlantic city. 6. Econet. 7. Lekki seaport. 8. 4 standard millennium schools. 9. Housing estates. 10. BRT. 11. Several policies which helped in high increase of Lagos revenues. 12. Some roads etc
Now list Peter Obi's legacies.
I want everyone to watch and see if these Ipob urchins would reply. They always keep mute or insult when asked to list Peter Obi's achievement. Peter Obi has got absolute nothing. All noise without substance.
obynzo: And what was the outcome of the investigation? before you conclude that he is a monumental thief, because if we go by you logic Tinubu must be an astronomical thief he steals in astronomical proportions.
How many politicians or governors have efcc arrested?
Wintertime: You talked about this accommodation as if you have finally agreed that Tinubu is the landlord of Lagos..
Tinubu only became governor of Lagos State from 1999
Meaning people whom live at Lagos had being there before 1999
People way older than Tinubu So what is the essence of your post
Is Tinubu older than Abiola or Awolowo...
Stop saying Tinubu accommodate anybody...
Well, Tinubu is an indigene of Lagos for a start. And as the governor. He's got the right to cart away people who are not indigenous to his state, after all your ethnic bigot, Peter Obi was sacking non Anambra workers which included his fellow Igbo brethren just because they're not Anambran.
Tinubu accommodated you perpetual children of hate in Lagos' but see what what he gets in return? Bunch of ingrates.
