Tinubu served as the governor of Nigeria’s economic capital from 1999 to 2007. Some of his supporters credit him for laying the foundation for a modern Lagos State. But Lamido who is a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Lagos being a former Nigerian capital before it was moved to Abuja enjoyed huge Federal Government presence.

“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,” he said on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today. 

“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.” (Channels TV)
