How Tinubu's Performance As Lagos State Governor Can Lead Him To The Presidency In 2023

About 24 years ago, Alhaji Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stopped in Isolo, Oshodi Local Government Area to lead his campaign for the governorship of Lagos State.

He stood in front of more than 20,000 people in the old federal capital where he was once a senator. At this time, Tinubu released his plans and plans for the 1999 elections, the problems he wanted to solve and his goals and objectives for Lagos State.

"I came to bring change, we will develop Education, health, security, including building the lives of women and youth to become self-reliant. Lagos State will become our pride."

After 5 months of this speech, almost one million people signed Tinubu's election to build Lagos State. Working together, businessmen, community leaders, truckers, and civil servants worked together to build a strong bond that cut across all local governments and led to the election of Tinubu as the governor of Lagos State. the overwhelming majority that no governor has ever had in the history of Lagos State.

The first story is "The Story of Asiwajuna" (#MyAsiwajuStory), now it will tell a story about Tinubu and Lagos State and what will continue to generate meaningful discussion as Nigeria approaches the general election of the year ( 2023).,

Oil caused this? 

As a judgment on his reign, the things that followed were more beautiful. Many former government officials, colleagues, students, youth, businessmen, and those with low power who have benefited from his administration have praised him. They went to work in the government or established businesses or joined companies, or found ways to serve their community. Many of them recall their experiences in the past as good evidence of what we must do if we hope to elect good leaders.

Obviously, this will be different on the campaign trail. Evidence like "Asiwajuna's Story" (#MyAsiwajuStory), is what this country needs now and why it should be adopted. From the point of view of quality, competence, ability, and goodness in terms of leadership based on what they have achieved in the positions they have held in the past, among the three main candidates, it is clear that Tinubu has this history to show if the community follows and witnesses, it is commendable.

20 years later, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), continues to struggle with what he did or did not do in the Obasanjo government when he held the position of vice president. Leaving aside the issue of his oral promises, there is no written schedule on the plan for the economy and governance. After trying six times Nigerians will not believe him to be the president of their country".

Despite the opportunities he has had, Peter Obi, the candidate of the LP party, there are many aspects of the image that is shown of a man who talks about all the problems of the country but the solutions he has devised even at the governorship level in Anambra State. , a step back in the main office. Forgetting all the worries about the nature of his ambitions at a time when the country needs peace, all the researchers of the robbery of foreigners and their best investigators continue to explain the weakness of Obi. 

Nigerians from all parts of their country are calling on their fellow citizens to "give Tinubu a chance to take up the unfinished business of our unity. He did it before today, and he can do it again".

Asiwaju's story is a collection of stories told by people whose lives Asiwaju has made better. A long-range story has covered the things of a leader who serves the community and believes in his ideals for the betterment of the country.

Ebuka Anisiobi grew up in Anambra State, in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, but he grew up on Lagos road in Kosofe local government, where his parents struggled to find a good life.

Forget about the fact that he is not a native of the state, he became the youngest one-day governor in Nigeria after winning a competition organized by the wife of the former governor, Senator Oluremu Tinubu for secondary school students in 2001.

"Irrespective of religion and caste, Asiwaju and his wife Remi Tinubu have given me opportunities in education and leadership under winning competitions and becoming governor for one day," he said. Ebuka made the announcement in a video published on the new media in August.

"After succeeding in the governor's program for one day, I got a scholarship to continue my studies. And the Lagos State government paid all the fees for the secondary school leaving examination (WAEC) for all the students this year, which enabled me to get a good education".

"Today, I work for various ministries in the field of the oil and gas industry, I consult and give professional advice, and I have my own business. I feel in my heart that all this has been achieved in for me, especially on that important day in June 2001".

It was discovered that the one-day governorship program was created by the Asiwaju government to encourage students and encourage community involvement in government in Lagos State. This process has now become a norm in the state after the government created it 21 years ago. 

Ebuka, the first person to benefit from the program, is a Christian from the South East.

In 2002, Brigadier General George Emdin, (retired) was transferred as a new officer from the war training college. At the time, the security situation in Lagos State has become depressing which requires strong action to overcome the problem. 

"At that time, the security situation in Lagos State was very bad where armed robbers were writing on the streets that they were coming and it was inevitable that they would come. The situation was very bad". Brigadier Emdin said.

"He has done many things on the security problem in the state. From my observation or my knowledge about him, I think he created a foundation that made Lagos what it is today. It started with him. As the leader of the security team that included The army, the air force, the navy, the police, and other groups of security forces in the state have held regular meetings with the governor to discuss preparations and provisions as well as plans to improve security. and the cooperation of other ministries to achieve many successes".

Being the most populous state in Nigeria, Lagos State has no history of terrorism, bandits and serious crimes. From the Special Anti-Robbery and Criminal Squad (RRS) created to deal with the problems, Tinubu is an example of a man who can solve the security problems the country is currently facing.

"The Special Crime Squad (RRS) he helped create, other states have learned," former police chief, Mike Akiro testified explaining how Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu fought crime during his time as Lagos state governor. ".

"Nineteen years ago, I had the opportunity to tell him how much he influenced my life. When I asked him who was good enough to do this, he told me that he had seen a boy walking around during school, I called him and asked He did not go to school when he was old enough, and the boy told him that his parents could not pay him school fees.

Hearing this, he immediately returned to the government house and drafted a bill to allow students to take the WAEC exam for free. More than that, he told me that he wants Education to be free for all students in Lagos State”.

At a time when students in post-secondary institutions are on a seven-month nationwide strike, free education, and free post-secondary examination fees will undoubtedly gain priority for Bola Tinubu's education program if he is elected as president. president.

From the economy, education, and security, there are facts that believe including the display of what Tinubu has done that deserves to be believed again and given more opportunities.

Through videos, many people who do not have enough knowledge are spreading lies and rumors about his reign and his personal life, we hope that this information will change public opinion.
