Tinubu Can’t Claim Glory For Fashola, Ambode Successes – APC Chieftain

An All Progressives Congress, APC, Chieftain, Tunde Bank-Anthony, has said the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu, cannot claim glory for the record of achievements by the administrations of former Governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode.
Bank-Anthony made this assertion on Wednesday while speaking on a live television programme.
He said, “The people that succeeded Asiwaju (Tinubu), BRF, succeeded him and his eight years were more visible than Bola Tinubu’s eight years…He (Tinubu) cannot claim glory for what they did; it’s not possible.”
He described Ambode as a performing governor, who, according to him, was yanked off and denied of a second term.
According to him, since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999, Ambode is the only former governor of Lagos State who was in office for a single term.
Recall that Tinubu was governor between 1999 and 2007 before he handed over to Fashola who was in office from 2007 to 2015.
Ambode was elected governor in 2015, but lost his re-election at the primary level in 2019 to the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who clinched the party’s ticket and won the 2019 governorship election, has again secured APC’s ticket for his re-election in the 2023 polls.
