Who was the best civilian governor/military administrator Lagos State has ever had?

Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson
Commodore Adekunle Lawal
Commodore Ndubuisi Kanu
Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe
Alhaji Lateef Jakande
Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudasiru
Navy Captain Mike Akhigbe
Brigadier General Raji Rasaki
Sir Michael Otedola
Colonel Olagunsoye Oyinlola
Colonel Mohammed Buba Marwa
Mr Bola Tinubu
Mr Babatunde Fashola
Mr Akinwunmi Ambode

The above is the list of all the governors Lagos State has ever had.

Some say Mobolaji Johnson tried so much in his time. Some still sing praises of Lateef Jakande. I still remember how praises Marwa’s were abundant in his times as Governor.

Recently, I went to Alausa. While waiting in the midst of some civil servants, I told them that Fashola was the best Governor Lagos State has ever had. Many civil servants quickly disagreed with me.

The said the best governor they’d ever experience was Bola Tinubu. Were they wrong? Was I right?

Who’s really the best governor Lagos State has ever had, or is it Ambode?

I stand with TINUBU

If only Nigeria was as lucky as Lagos

Donald Duke for president.....

1. Jakande = The father of Lagos development and the pacesetter of Lagos development.

2. Tinubu = The father and the brain box of modern Lagos and the initiator of new Lagos development plan

3. Fashola = The actualizer of new Lagos development plan and the man with the midas touch



Ambode is just starting his journey so its too early to rate him that long.

I would say Tinubu.
He did not only did well but he also made sure he handed over to a good successor.
Jakande too was very good. Lagos is lucky sha.

Of course, Alhaji Lateef Jakande.

Free education etc.

UPN was a party that loved the masses dearly.

Jakande without a doubt. Still unsurpassed despite only spending 4 years.

Jakande

Oh, most of you on this forum possibly did not witness/read about the reign of Gen. Raji Rasaki. I could remember vividly about such editorial captions like "who can stop Rasaki the bulldozer." Partly to his credit Lekki, Ajah and Banana Island by extension came to been as the are now.

Indeed very distinguished Asiwaju Sen. Dr. Bola Ahmed TINUBU.

Alhaji lateef jakande


Even though he has left fo so long, you still hear of jakande estate all over lagos, he developee lagos without mortgaging the future generation

Tinubu and fashola tried but they have personal interest and made a lot of money while mortgaging the future of lagosian through massive borrowing

How did they mortgage the future of Lagosians please?

Did they borrow to pay salaries or borrow to invest in infrastructure?

Ndubuisi Kanu was the father of modern lagos state, it was during his reign that the actual master survey of lagos state was done, the urban planning and building of critical infrastructure
Time will prove me right or wrong.

I stand with (Keke) Marwa

u mean a non Yoruba governed Lagos hmm thanks for the knowledge

I'd take the opinion of those civil servants with a pinch of salt. The only good governor they know is one that doesn't owe salaries.

Yes, military regime.

I don't know more about Jakande, most of what I know about him is just estates virtually every part. I think Tinubu is still the best so far, He had an idea, planted it, endeavor to seek for those to wet it, while everyone admires it, although they still curse him, but they praise the idea and tried in vain to take the glory off him

Horlufemi:
If only Nigeria was as luck as Lagos

really , na wao english

I think that opolo eye man...atleast he owns half of lagos

Tinubu is the man the other are not doing bad

Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Yesterday, today and forever more, Tinubu and Fashola tried but they can't even touch his shoelaces let alone tie or untice them.



Worst still remains Raji Rasaki of "who build this garder", his wife is continuing in that family tradition in the 8th senate like she did in the 5th or was it the 6th (HOR member)... Senator Laggard..





Empero1, Raji Rasaki displaced Maroko people but didn't provide an alternative... He did it cos the military powers that be didn't like "dregs of the earth" living in close proximity to their Ikoyi/VI slice of heaven..... Do your research and disprove my submission..

Lagos has over the years been blessed with good leaders.

That was during the Military rule as we did have Sule Ahman and Adewunmi Agbaje as military administrators of Enugu State

Jakande all the way. Tinubu a very distant second and Marwa third.

Lateef Jakande

Any olori pelebe?
