“Like the coconut, some by-
products/fruits will get bad along
the way or after being sold in the
market; in actual fact, the
political product may not be the
favourite of some other people.
“The bottom line, however, is
simple. If Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, were a coconut; I dare
say, with all simplicity, I would
be among the forefront liners
that will eat, drink and sleep
B.A.T. 24/7,” Ambode said.
While alluding to Tinubu’s
contribution to the growth of the
State, Governor Ambode said:
“There is no doubt the Asiwaju
political dynasty is a made in
Nigeria product. The foundation
laid and blueprints developed
during his tenure as Governor of
Lagos State which cuts across all
sections of the State’s economy
have actually simplified the
process of governance till date.
“His blueprint has continued to
serve as a road map to achieving
the Lagos of his and our dreams.
This same political product
without doubt, traverses the
Nigerian landscape and that is
evident with the emergence of the
APC at the centre in 2015.
Asiwaju is a made in Nigeria
product. We should make more
products out of him,” the
Governor said.
