Bola Ahmed Tinubu disagrees with The Economist's assessment of the governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Speaking at the commission of the Mile 12-Ikorodu BRT Extension and launching of new BRT buses, the national leader of APC described Ambode as a bundle of creativity, intelligence and honesty.
He went on to tell a story of Ambode providing solutions to a financial crisis during his tenure between 1999 and 2007, Ambode was the Accountant General then.
"He () never gave excuses; he was always ready with solutions. He is a bundle of creativity, intelligence and honesty in governance. When we were thinking of whom to succeed as Lagos State Governor, himself never thought about it; we sought him out and I'm proud to be a grandfather."
All of this was said yesterday, November 12th, a few days after The Economist described Ambode as"full of excuses, but few solutions."
The Lagos state government responded by saying that Governor Ambode has great plans for Lagosians.
