Lagos: Tinubu Admits ‘Fashola’s Administration Performed Better Than Mine’

Ex-Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday disclosed that the Mr Babatunde Fashola administration had performed better than his.

Speaking during the flagging-off of the party’s campaign for the forthcoming general elections in the state, he said that the Fashola administration had performed tremendously well in the last eight years.

“In the year 2007, I handed over to one young man, brought him to you and said he would perform better.

“A man with sound brain and sound mind; that person is Babatunde Fashola. He did not disgrace us.

“I thank God for eight years of excellent performance, unbroken promises, sound experience and constructive government,” Tinubu said.

He further disclosed that Fashola had performed well in construction of roads and school buildings, employment of youths and healthcare delivery, among others things.

Tinubu urged Lagos residents to vote en masse for the party’s governorship candidate for Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, in the general elections, noting that Ambode would build on Fashola’s achievements.
