Also, the Commissioner for Wealth Creation, Mrs. Yetunde Arobieke, described Tinubu as the only progressive-minded leader in the country, saying Tinubu is passionate about Nigeria’s developpment.

According to her, he has not for once relent in contributing his quota to the development of the country and that is why I will always follow him.

She noted that the development currently been witnessed across Lagos were part of his blueprint he produced while serving as the governor of the state.

“I remember that many states created additional local governments but some backed out from the struggle after they were threatened by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, but the only person that stood his ground and argued the issue logically was Tinubu. And today, many have been employed through these councils, is that not another means of reducing the rate of unemployment in the country particularly Lagos State.

I want to assure you, Asiwaju, that we are behind you. We know that some people will kick against the plan for you to become resident, but we want to assure you that we are solidly behind you”, Arobieke added.’’
