A former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido said President Bola Tinubu did not build the modern Lagos State.

Lamido stated this in an interview Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.

He President Tinubu government does not have the inability to get things right in Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu served as the governor of Nigeria’s economic capital from 1999 to 2007.

He has be revered as a visionary political, who was responsible for laying the foundation for a modern Lagos State.

Speaking on the development, Lamido, a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Lagos, being a former Nigerian capital before it was moved to Abuja, enjoyed huge Federal Government presence.

He said, “I know him when he was under SDP; when he was the secretary of the party. I also knew him as governor of Lagos State. I know him very well and I know his capacity, I know what he can do;

“I know what he cannot do. Luckily today, he is there on top of the country. He never built Lagos.

“Lagos was built with Nigerian money - I mean the port, the airport, the bridges. So, when you say Tinubu built Lagos; he never built Lagos.”

The former Jigawa governor has rated the present government poorly.

“The government is doing almost everything wrong,” he said.

Lamido faulted the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project amid the clamour for a new minimum wage by organised labour.

According to him, if the government can embark on the project and with prudent management of resources, Nigeria can easily pay a new minimum wage as demanded by labour leaders.

“There is money in Nigeria. If they do it [Lagos-Calabar coastal road], they can pay any minimum wage,” he said.

Tinubu na scam!

We know this already. His government breathes on propaganda.

Are you sure this is not an Igbo man?

Let me go and Google his father's state of Origin and his mother's state of origin to be very sure .

We knew all along,it was the federal govt and all Nigerians that built it…only the demented ones thought otherwise!!!

This is exactly what I'm trying to make those sitting on the fence to understand, when the big fat pigs maruading all over nairaland screeming BAT the savior, the redeemer, the ominiknowest.
Lagos was built by our cononial masters, the build lagos for it to be as comfortable, habitable for them,
Check out the list of the first 50 schools in Nigeria.
They build all the major bridges in Lagos.
Airport and seaport.
All these ignited the urbanization of Lagos,

Lagos was built with Nigeria money, and she wasn't even producing a jack dime then, just like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
My south south people make we try get sense, very soon the oba of Lagos will shift his attention to us to go back to our polluted region.

Who doesn't know, if truly he built Lagos, every southwestern state he controlled as godfather would have been like Lagos

That was before cement cost.



Give him time to build Nigeria

Children of hate and bitterness....oya a northerner has spoken....it is only Obi that dis id**ts know how to attack....

Tells you not to expect someone with the capacity of a motorcycle engine to act like a jet engine and power the Nigerian state!

Motorcycle engine cannot fly a jumbo jet.

Tinubu cannot give what he doesn't have

ineri:
How dies this help the country now

Lol.

Tinubu never built Lagos everybody knew about this except The propaganda agents on nairaland and Twitter

Every failed governor now has a say

the tinubu I know built Lagos from the sea, immediately God finish creation ,he said to tinubu go ye into Nigeria and into the western part of it and create Lagos. then create some kind of agberos and touts in it to always defend you. if you said tinubu didn't create Lagos from the sea na you Sabi .the agberos knows the truth

No way! Lagos was without form & he built it from scratch. It is the turn of the country to be built.

I keep emphasizing that; the statement "BAT singlehandedly built Lagos" is a massive insult to names like Lateef Jakande.

Please that statement is false.

The only thing Tinubu built is Ronu Rogues and Agbero

Lagos been a FCT for a long period of time help in advancement of modern lagos.
Lateef Jakande was the shining light and bedrock of modern lagos today. He set the pace and lay the foundation in his short tenure as lagos Governor.

Pretty much true and indigeneous lagosian respect and acknowledge him than tinubu. Migrants Yoruba want to rewrite history to who build lagos which is obvious to every one except you chooce to be ignorant

NOT ONLY THAT LAGOS WAS BUILT WITH NIGERIAN MONEY,


LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.


IF YOU LIKE GO AND HANG YOURSELF BECAUSE OF THIS STATEMENT.

Na Lamido built am then

He never built Lagos that is true but he resuscitated it and laid the foundation of the mega city status it now enjoys.

Well not all northern reasoning well. So they should keep using Nigeria treasure on salary alone? What about those of us who are not working for government we are not entitled to goodness of the land.

Thank god say na abokki dey talk am for say na igbo person talk am by now houses go dey fall for amuwo odofin or alaba,even land use act law wey tinubu goons dey take dey milk landlord's for lagos na Obasanjo signed it into law
