Tinubu Never Built Lagos, I Know His Capacity – Lamido.
According to Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa State, who affirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was never the one who developed modern Lagos State.
“President Tinubu’s government cannot get things right in Nigeria”. Lamido said.
The ex-governor made it known in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
Whily speaking on the popular believe that Tinubu was responsible for laying the foundation for a modern Lagos State, Lamido, a card carrying member of the major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Lagos, being a former Nigerian capital before it was moved to Abuja, enjoyed huge Federal Government presence.
“I know him when he was under SDP; when he was the secretary of the party. I also knew him as governor of Lagos State. I know him very well and I know his capacity, I also know what he can do and what he cannot do”. He said.
“Luckily today, he is there on top of the country. He never built Lagos”.
“Lagos was built with Nigerian money- I mean the port, the airport, the bridges. So, when you say Tinubu built Lagos; he never built Lagos.”
Additionally, the former Jigawa governor rated the present government poorly.
“The government is doing almost everything wrong,” he said.
Lamido further faulted the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project amid the clamour for a new minimum wage by organised labour.
According to Lamido, “if the government can embark on the project and with prudent management of resources, Nigeria can easily pay a new minimum wage as demanded by labour leaders”.
“There is money in Nigeria. If they do it [Lagos-Calabar coastal road], they can pay any minimum wage,” he said.
