The Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday, disclosed that he is playing his role as required for the actualisation of his former boss, Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
Fashola succeded Tinubu, who is the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, as Lagos State governor in 2007. Tinubu is contesting to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) during next year’s presidential election.
Speaking on Sunday during an interview on Channels TV, the minister said he was contributing his own quota to the actualisation of Tinubu’s ‘lifelong’ ambition.
When asked about his seeming silence and open support for the former Lagos governor, Fashola said he was given his support in the background and was always available to give helping hands when consulted.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, late Sunday, said the rehabilitation of the 127km Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was near completion, with only 21km left to be completed.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Sunday Politics’, the minister said the road project was expected to be delivered by December 2022, before Christmas.
He noted that the Berger part of the road in Lagos, which is being handled by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, has about 6km left to be completed, while the Ibadan part of the road, which is being handled by the Reynolds Construction Company (Nigeria) Limited, has 15km left to be completed.

3. Insecurity: Buhari has done more than expected – Presidency
The Presidency, Sunday, said the President, Major General Muhammadu (retd.), had done more than was expected of him as Commander-in-Chief in ensuring the security of Nigerians.

In a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the Presidency argued that the public outcry for a carpet bombing of terrorist hideouts in the north defeats the entire aim of rescuing the innocent hostages alive.
