The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 election, Bola Tinubu has been told to stop claiming glory for the successes recorded in government by his successors – including former governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode.
Tunde Bank-Anthony, a Chieftain of the ruling party, made the assertion on Wednesday when he featured as a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.
The spokesperson for Concerned Nigerians said Tinubu is not the founder of modern Lagos and his men should not trivialise the contributions of Ambode and Fashola in Lagos or make them inferior to Tinubu’s.
“I read something not too long ago, the chairman of the party in Lagos, said Ambode did not follow the blueprint of Lagos. What is the blueprint of Lagos? It should be online for people to see.
“The people that succeeded Asiwaju (Tinubu), BRF succeeded him and his eight years was more visible than Bola Tinubu’s eight years…He (Tinubu) cannot claim glory for what they did; it’s not possible,” Bank-Anthony was quoted as saying.
