Nigerians' reactions to Tinubu and Bago

Below are some of their reactions:

Femi Peters wrote:

"Bago's alliance with Tinubu goes beyond likeness; it's basically a case of Lagos and Niger State's economic and food security alliance with Lagos State. Lagos State bought two hundred thousand acres of land in Niger for agriculture, and the Rice they produce in Nigeria goes to feed the Imota rice mill in Lagos. The relationship between the president and Lagos State is deep, economic and beneficial."

"Tinubu is a Leadership Training School. That's what he does best. He's grooming the younger generation of men and women for tomorrow. Bago is not sitting down there for nothing. He's building his national network. He has given Lagos 1,000 hectares of land for mechanised farming."

"I am seeing the CEO of NIGER FOODS. That man and Bago Na 5 and 6. Dr Sammy Adigun, a global agriculturalist, is also the chairman of NFS Limited in Niger State."
