In a statement by the Director, Bureau of
Communications and Strategy, Mr. Semiu
Okanlawon, Aregbesola said: “Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu means many things to many
people but there are certain things that
everyone agrees about him: a political think-
thank, master strategist, promoter of politics
of inclusion, political futurist and fearless
activist and top politician per excellence.
“His life is packed with personal
achievements and involvements as a senator
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a pro-
democracy activist, two-time governor of
Lagos State, mentor of successful leaders and
currently a major player and factor on the
national political scene.
“He strikes as a consummate politician and
very strategic, original political thinker.
“When he became governor of Lagos, the
state was financially incapacitated but
Tinubu’s knowledge of public finance changed
the fortune of the Lagos Internally Generated
Revenue from mere N600m. The rest is
history as Lagos today stands on firm, sure
footing of unimaginable development
proportion.
“There is no denying the fact that Asiwaju is a
rare breed politician, patriot and a true
democrat. Through his political efforts and
strategies, progressive politics for which the
South West was noted now dominates the
realm.
“No doubt, the accounts of modern Nigerian
political evolution would not be complete
without ample recognition of the roles of this
selfless political leader.”
