Tinubu attacks Ambode, says ship of Lagos state was drifting under him

By our reporter| The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday had harsh words for the administration of Akinwunmi Ambode, the immediate past governor of Lagos state.

Tinubu who spoke at a ceremony to commission a flyover bridge at Pen Cinema, begun by Ambode’s administration, said the ship of state, under Ambode, was heading in the wrong direction.

According to him, the ship had to be steadied, hence the decision by political leaders to bring Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat, on board, eventhough, there was skepticism about them at the time.

He further stated that the duo of Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat has not disappointed despite the setbacks of COVID-19, with the accompanying lockdown and the EndSARS protest last October.

The former governor of Lagos and chieftain of the ruling APC, said he and other leaders are proud that the Sanwo-Olu team is now steering the state in the right direction and commended the Lagos cabinet for its various achievements and called the team “great performers and doers”.

The Pen Cinema Bridge, a dual carriageway, named after Bola Tinubu, is designed to free the traffic logjam in the area.
