His words:

“I was his chief of staff for four and a half years. I took over from Lai Mohammed. In terms of controlling Asiwaju’s schedule, that was a tough task because he has day and night schedules.

“For those who are going to work with him, he is very nocturnal. I hope he changes. He will wake you up at night. He does his best work in the dead of the night."

Further explaining how Tinubu micromanages his team more than President Buhari, Fashola added that the president allows his team to have fair play after training and coaching.
