The ex-deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has said the ship of Lagos has been going in the wrong direction since the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Tinubu, took over control of the state.
The PDP chieftain stated this while speaking with newsmen on Saturday.
George spoke in reaction to comments by Tinubu that the ship of Lagos was heading in a wrong direction within 2017-2018 before incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The APC chieftain had made the comments on Friday during the inauguration of the 1.4 kilometre-long Agege-Pen Cinema Bridge.

Responding to Tinubu’s comments, the PDP chieftain said, “The ship of Lagos has been going in the wrong direction since he (Tinubu) ascended the throne of Lagos.
“Right from the days of Brigadier Johnson, Baba Jakande, Marwa, and all those who have ruled Lagos, people still talk of their legacies. But the ship of Lagos started going in the wrong direction when he (Tinubu) ascended the throne.
“I stand by all that I have said about him. I don’t have anything personal against him but against his policies. His daughter is the Iyaloja of Lagos, his son is the only one that has advert all over the city and his wife is the one representing Lagos Central in the Senate. O to ge (Enough is enough)!”
“We met very encouraging things when we were growing up but today where are they? No scholarship for students, no help for the masses. I don’t have anything against Tinubu but his policies. If he were in Osun State, I wouldn’t have been concerned but as a Lagosian, Tinubu is too important to be left alone and that is why I will continue speaking against his policies.”
