Tinubu made the most progress

“All we had was pure joy in our electorates’ hearts because they had a democratically elected governor.
"From health to education to the economy and security, Lagos state and many other states were in turmoil as a result of years of military rule but Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the most progress out of all of us in reforms of various sectors, with Enugu State coming in second.
“This large progress came as a result of assembling 23 best brains in Lagos state to examine each sector of Lagos economy and provide a workable solution to its unique challenges," he said.
Tinubu's achievements as Lagos state governor
Senator Nnamani went on to reel out Tinubu's achievements in different sectors in a statement he also posted on Twitter.
“The Asiwaju-led administration was tasked with figuring out how to add 5,768 more classrooms to the existing ones, saying that he rose to the challenges by erecting new elementary, junior secondary and senior secondary schools in Lagos between 1999 and 2007 to address this issue.
“Asiwaju-led government consequently embarked on human capital development to guarantee that pupils received the finest education possible with a series of staff training and development programs in various courses, seminars, and workshops," he said.

"It's unfortunate that tribal sentiment and pure hatred had so much blind folded some folks that they refused to see that the Nigeria of our dreams can be achieved by Tinubu. It's takes detribalise individuals to see this.
"It is even an embarrassment putting Tinubu side by side all this janjaweed politicians in the name of comparism. That's why I laughed in Swahili when someone said the state he governed is his manifestos, if Lagos is Tinubu manifestos then all other contestants should just throw in the towel."
