Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo on Thursday went down memory lane to relate the roles played by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in reclaiming states
lost by the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to the Peoples Democratic Party after the 2007 general elections.
He said it was the political dexterity of the former Lagos state governor that ensured the ACN reclaimed Edo, Ekiti, Osun and Ondo states, adding the last to be won through that process was Osun state. “Today, Lagos as we know, earns more revenue, more IGR, than 31 states of Nigeria put together. That by itself began in 2001.”
“I think the best way of putting is to say that our country, for the first time, is witnessing the type of leadership that is bound to lead us to where it is that we are proposed ourselves as a government. “It was most of the time, especially the leadership in the past, and corruption in particular as the reason why we were finding it difficult to make progress.
