Bola Tinubu has described Lagos
state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode
as a bundle of creativity, intelligence
and honesty.

Tinubu said this at the
commissioning of new
transportation buses in Lagos today
November 12th.

In his speech Tinubu recalled how
Ambode provided solutions to the
financial crisis which engulfed the
state during his tenure between 1999
and 2007 when the then Federal
Government seized the monthly
allocation of Lagos for 23 months.

He said as Accountant General of
Lagos State, Ambode, along with
others, provided solutions to the
quagmire and lifted the State out of
financial crisis.

“He (Ambode) never gave excuses;
he was always ready with solutions.

He is a bundle of creativity,
intelligence and honesty in
governance. When we were thinking
of whom to succeed Babatunde Raji
Fashola as Lagos State Governor,
Ambode himself never thought about
it; we sought him out and I’m proud
to be a grandfather.”he said
