No State Has Achieved Financial Independence Like Lagos – Tinubu

APC leader, Bola Tinubu has said the logistics for today’s polls were apt as materials arrived their local governments on time

He said this briefly after casting his vote at ward 003, polling unit 047 at Alausa, Lagos.

His words, “They are doing quite well, They brought materials to polling units early enough. Logistically, they have not failed.”

Speaking on the recent violence in Okoto area if Lagos in the last election, he said, “I take exception to two weeks ago Okota incidence, as if we were violent prone. I am very upset about that, taking Lagos as if we were violent. It is not as bad as you see it.”

“If you have 1,325 polling units and only five units were affected by Okota incidence, you can’t say Lagos is being violent. You are not doing justice to us.

“To you people, it is not a story. It is only the incidence that will be a story. So I can’t explain more than that.”

Tinubu also noted that Lagos State has witnessed remarkable development since he was governor.

“The lowest Internally Generated Revenue was N600m a month. Today it is over N30bn. No state has achieved financial independence as Lagos. Others depend on allocation from the Federal Government. Lagos does not. We build roads, real estate value of property owners has exponentially been better than any in this country.”
