A former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has said the ship of Lagos has been going in the wrong direction since All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, took over control of the state.
George spoke in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH on Saturday in reaction to comments by Tinubu that the ship of Lagos was heading in a wrong direction within 2017 and 2018 before incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Tinubu had made the comments on Friday during the inauguration of the 1.4 kilometre-long Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge.
“Ever since Babajide became the captain of the ship of our state, he has turned it round to the right direction of progress, development, and good leadership quality.”
However, speaking on Saturday, George said, “The ship of Lagos has been going in the wrong direction since he (Tinubu) ascended the throne of Lagos.
We met very encouraging things when we were growing up but today where are they? No scholarship for students, no help for the masses. I don’t have anything against Tinubu but his policies. If he were in Osun State, I wouldn’t have been concerned but as a Lagosian, Tinubu is too important to be left alone and that is why I will continue speaking against his policies,” the PDP chieftain added.
