Kagd10: Federal government spent no kobo on these projects.
Like I said, Obasanjo couldn't keep shut about praising Tinubu's brilliancy just before he left office. They weren't friends to begin with. Haters became believer.
Tinubu doing things for Nigeria while he was only a Lagos' governor. The man already paid his dues.
Do you know with his sea..
Inter state between two different states is a federal government project.
Likewise the sea port project which obj shun others and focused on only Lagos State
Didn't you see Obasanjo lauding Tinubu on Tinubu's lekki trade zone initiative?
Obasanjo kept saying Tinubu was a brilliant and intelligent leader. He couldn't keep shut which should tell you Tinubu must have conceived something monumental for Obasanjo administration for him to keep praising Tinubu in that 2006 year because they weren't friends to begin with. And looking at the railway project conceived in the same year as Lekki trade zone, I can only bet the railway initiative was all Tinubu's initiatives, considering Tinubu already talked about it in the clip in 2000.
And it was Tinubu who was negotiating with these investors, not Obasanjo.
Tinubu was doing things for Nigeria while he was just a Lagos governor.
Even the telecom cum Econet/Airtel which Tinubu brought into Nigeria wasn't just for Lagos but for all Nigerians.
Naso continue...
And initiatives and money to execute was not from federal government..
For federal government to be tells you alot So calm down
He mentioned telecom (Econet which became Airtel today), BRT..
all these have been accomplished. He also completed millennium schools, LASU teaching hospital/clinical school.
In 2006 below, he embarked on Lekki trade zone/Lekki seaport as you can see Obasanjo lauding Tinubu on the project below.
In fact, I can bet it was Tinubu that initiated the railway for Obasanjo administration because Tinubu already talked about railway project to connect both the South and the North in the video above and with Obasanjo lauding Tinubu on Lekki trade zone initiative in the same year when railway project was birthed, we can conclude that everything was Tinubu initiatives all along. Moreover the federal government didn't spend money on these projects. These projects came in at the same time too.
See Obasanjo rocking Tinubu's cap here below and also below is Obasanjo lauding Tinubu on Lekki trade initiative in the same year when railway project was conceived.
Tinubu doesn't brag enough I swear.
Doing things for Nigeria while he's Lagos governor.
Nawao you, all this was federal government project get that which Tinubu submit a proposal for it..
And lucky enough I told you allocation was resolved 2004 you said no, At least you can see this was 2006...
When they started saying dog ate money. This animal swallow money.. that's what metamorphorise the word zoo
And when Buhari couldn't solve the herdsmen crisis of cow sharing the same road with human beings that's what metamorphorise the word Nigeria is a zoo country
Eddygourdo: a person with capability due to favourable factors to earn 1million per month would of course have houses and landed properties, that doesn't mean he is better than the other man who earns 80k per month due to unfavourable factors, has no debt, has one car but lives in a rented apartment.
Lagos is a product of 100 plus years of investment ( private sector for which the igbos are majority), anambra as well as many other states were created in 1991. But of course it is a fair comparison for people like you.
Mind you lagos despite all the income is a flooded slum. No world class development for all the money you have mentioned. With current climate issues it will sink into the ocean in 100years tops.
You were a child when tinubu ruled, to ascribe developments after his rule to him is to imply Peter obi built the airport instead of obiano. We were men when tinubu ruled, it was a gutter and he achieved nothing of note. Modern changes only came to lagos from fashola. But of course you will.call that tinubu.
Tinubu is a corrupt kleptomaniac and doesn't have the integrity or character to rule Nigeria. He will never rule Nigeria. Better start getting use to that reality.
As in this people are really funny.
Project Fashola executed and federal government project they said is Tinubu Werey de disguise
You could see in the video that Tinubu was talking as a Lagos governor and the person who uploaded it mentioned it was in 2000. Tinubu was Lagos governor in 2000.
Ha wahala.. and I told you that was when he was a senator.. And moreover all those hogwash he said how many did he did when he was appointed governor of Lagos State
Kagd10: I said that of Lagos wasn't resolved until 2007. These are facts! Osinbajo confirmed it recently too. You dey ment?
Who's a tribalist if not then bigot Peter Obi who called AC party a yoruba party and was sacking non Anambran workers from his state? You dey mad or what?
Okay in your sense other states was resolved, Lagos State wasn't, cheers to that
Where did you get your data of Peter Obi sacking of non Anambra. When Anambra is still the place even non-igbos still flock in especially Onitsha, Awka, ekwelobia, umunze, Nnewi . Go there especially Onitsha and Awka. Different tribes and religion are there..
Obasanjo didn't turn any white company for Yoruba. If Obasanjo wanted to turn anything, he would turn it for himself. He didn't do anything for Yoruba.
The only thing we can say he ensured security in every places, as well as paid Nigerian's debt while ensuring there was enough saving/treasury for Nigeria which was looted by Jonathan and his cronies eventually.
You are just a tribalist here trying to sugarcoat things for obj also
It was resolved in 2004,, and Tinubu greed without control obj knowing if allows Tinubu to sail through with such actions.. many other states will pull through.
Obj had no choice then to stop it....
Cause as it stands then federal government was the one paying the local council. More local council more Money.. when Tinubu thought he was smart and did such without federal government awareness... Kaduna follow suite. Others follow suite.
Obj had no choice than to control it. He block other states not just Lagos State. That same year effort was made and it was resolved. And there was payment
It was resolved, Obasanjo owns a farm at ota Ogun State.. Obasanjo turn white company to Yoruba example Glo network..
The only issue Obasanjo had with Tinubu was he was trying to pump money to develop Lagos from federal purse .. Tinubu sends that money into his pocket..
Be calming down.. Obasanjo wasn't stupid to withheld anything from the place he also wants to develop
He was called senator because that was he was known as before he became Lagos' governor. After his monumental works/legacies as a Lagos' governor, he was called "Ashiwaju"
No 1. That speech was when he was a Senator No 2. Federal government supported him No. 3 if Tinubu initiated BRT when we all know he wasn't the person who executed it... Then same can be said that Peter Obi initiated Anambra airport
Willie2015: Obi did not support Gov Obiano... Chief Victor Umeh brought Gov Obiano (See attached link) Fashola finished his tenure... Ambode completed one term and lost APC primaries... SanwoOlu is still in office...
Kagd10: This is how madness begin. 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?
You de lie ooo
Fashola initiated BRT
Ha nawao you Even Fashola had a face off with Tinubu on who will govern Lagos after Fashola tenure
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.
Tinubu saw that the north were creating more local council and thought of more allocation for them..
He went against federal government and created his own so as to get more federal allocation and money.

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.
