Former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday, publicly endorsed the current Lagos State governor, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, for a second term in office.
Announcing his endorsement at a stakeholders meeting held at the state secretariat of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), in Ikeja, Tinubu said the decision to endorse Fashola for a second term was taken after consultation with party leaders, who resolved that the governor should be allowed to complete the good works he had started.
Tinubu said no party would have a performing governor like Fashola and would not want him to continue his good works, adding that there were much rumours about a strained relationship between him and Fashola.
“As an elder statesman, I do not have to comment on everything,” some people had exaggerated the issue so that they could benefit by selling such falsehood. Tinubu added
Meanwhile, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola has accepted his nomination.
In his acceptance speech, Fashola said he accepted the nomination and endorsement with a sense of humility and promised not to let the party down.
“It is an experience I will not take for granted. As you give me the mandate and endorsement, I carry the flag with humility. I promise not to let you down,” Fashola added.
