2023: How Obasanjo Frustrated Me As Governor — Tinubu

The presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has accused former president Olusegun Obasanjo of frustrating him as governor of Lagos State.

Tinubu made the allegation during his presidential campaign rally in Benin City, Edo State following Obasanjo's recent endorsement of Labour Party's Peter Obi.

According to the former Lagos governor, Obasanjo punished him and Lagos residents when he (Tinubu) tried to solve the electricity issue in the state.

“I brought Enron to solve the electricity problem and help Lagos economy but Obasanjo and PDP frustrated it.

"They punished me and Lagos people and even began deducting our money.

“I created local governments in Lagos to accelerate development and create employment for our people but Obasanjo seized our allocation and punished us for that.

“That was wickedness and such a man said he endorsed a man for you to vote as President.

"Can Obasanjo recommend a leader for anyone in Nigeria? A man who does not know the way cannot show the way.

“They punished me as Lagos State governor, not personal punish but the entire Lagos State was punished", he stated.
