“As a former governor of Lagos,the nation’s commercial nerve centre, Sen Tinubu’s footprints will forever remain indelible. He indeed brought to bear his financial wizardry that turned the economic fortune of Lagos around.

As governor, he led Lagos to secure a landmark judgement against the federal government at the Supreme court on the creation of Local Government Development Areas which are still in operation today.His political activism has impacted hugely on the contemporary Nigerian federal system”, Akande added.
The Oyo APC chieftain prayed God grant Tinubu many more years to serve humanity.
