Lai Mohammed: How Asiwaju Tinubu made me
The Nigeria minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, on Thursday, disclosed how he and others have benefitted from the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Mohammed made the disclosure at the 10th Bola Tinubu colloquium and his 66th birthday celebration held at the Eko Hotel, Lagos and attended by President Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo, the country’s vice president as well as governors.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), described former Tinubu as “an exceptionally visionary politician who has invested in many people.”
Mohammed recalled how Tinubu made him chief of staff about 20 years back as Lagos governor.
“Not being from Lagos state, many people found it strange for him to have made me his Chief of staff.
“Today, I can say boldly that at least in the federal cabinet, we have those occupying positions who had served in his cabinet at one time or the other.
“We have the vice president, myself, the minister of power works and housing, Raji Fashola and the minister of solid minerals Development, Kayode Fayemi.
“If you also look at governor in many states today whether it is Osun or elsewhere, they had worked with him in one capacity or the other,” he said while wishing the celebrant a long life in the service of the nation and mankind.
the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo also took time out to speak about the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos who just celebrated his 66th birthday.
Osinbajo, who worked under Tinubu as the attorney-general of the state and justice commissioner, revieled how the former governor handled the affairs of Lagos using fact-based arguments on issues.
He described Tinubu as an unusual governor who handled an administration where there was so much arguments just as he allowed all shades of ideas.
