I’m proud of being Tinubu’s puppet - Sanwo-Olu replies Agbaje

- Babajide Sanwo-Olu has promised to retire his rival for the Lagos governorship election, Jimi Agbaje, after the March 2 election

- Sanwo-Olu said he was proud of being a puppet of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as it means he had mastered the art and science of governance

- The APC gubernatorial candidate said it would take at least two decades of quality experience to place Agbaje on the same pedestal as himself

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to retire his rival, Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after the March 2 election, deepening the war of words between both men.

Sanwo-Olu made the comment in response to a statement made by Agbaje describing him as a puppet, Punch reports.

Legit.ng gathers that the APC candidate said he was proud of being a puppet of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the ruling party, as it means he had mastered the art and science of governance.

In a statement released by his media team, Sanwo-Olu said he sympathised with Agbaje over the “imminent disgraceful defeat awaiting him at the March 2 poll, and consequent retirement from four years electoral cycle contest.”

The statement read further: “Sanwo-Olu described Agbaje’s recent vituperation, where he described him as a puppet to the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as not only a complimentary (sic), but an affirmation of the notion that he is the most experienced for the job, having been properly schooled in the art and science of governance.

“He further reminded Agbaje and his co-travellers in the journey of political ignominy of an incontrovertible fact that he (Sanwo-Olu) has been part of the progressive social, economic and political trajectory of modern Lagos, which started with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and was passed on to the actualiser, Babatunde Fashola, who in turn handed over to the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, for consolidation.

“Sanwo-Olu’s private and public experience is not what the likes of Jimi Agbaje could buy over a supermarket shelf, and would take them at least two decades of quality experience to place them on the same pedestal like him.”

Sanwo-Olu further stated that Agbaje was a learner for leaving out several critical areas of daily existence, as he berating the PDP candidate for promising to spend 50 percent of the state’s budget on education.

Sanwo-Olu made the comment in response to his opponent’s tweets.

Agbaje had tweeted: “Your imposition is not on your own terms. You will not be allowed to think freely and run a government. Lagos deserves a free hand and an independent mind; someone who is not tied to the apron strings of a godfather.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
