2023: ‘Wike, Fashola, Others Have Not Surpassed Tinubu’s Achievements As Governor’

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aliyu Audu has said the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, performed better when he governed Lagos State than all the governors elected since 1999 to date.

Naija News reports that Audu, Coordinator of the APC Rebirth Group, made the assertion while speaking in an interview with Vanguard on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said no governor elected in the Fourth Republic has surpassed Tinubu’s political achievements to date, adding that his antecedent was a premise on which other governors have built their administrations.

Audu said Tinubu did not only transform Lagos, but he created a long-term plan and a template that the subsequent governors have worked on and have increased the fortunes of the state.

He added that Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu have built on the legacy of Tinubu, stating that he is the best candidate for the presidency.

He said: “We have decided to bring our very best two (Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima) to lead the country. In the history of Nigeria, in the Fourth Republic, it is on record that no governor to date has been able to perform nearly close to what Bola Ahmed Tinubu did in his state in eight years in Lagos.

“And not only did he do that, but he has also set forward a long-term plan and a template that the subsequent governors have worked on and have increased the fortunes of Lagos for Lagosians and Nigeria as a whole.”
