On Friday at the commissioning of the Pen Cinema overhead bridge in Agege area of Lagos state, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu attacked former Governor of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Akinwumi Ambode actually started the construction of the Pen Cinema overhead bridge before he was eased out of office at the completion of his first term.
Tinubu, while speaking at the commissioning of the bridge, said around 2017 and 2018 when Ambode was in power, the ship of Lagos was heading in the wrong direction.
The ship had to be steadied, he said, leading to the decision by political leaders to bring Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Obafemi Hamzat, on board.
Tinubu’s statement on Ambode was coming because things fell apart between him and his political godson.
Earlier in March, that same 2017, when the going was good for the duo, Tinubu had praised Ambode for being the right man who was taking Lagos in the right direction.
That was at the commissioning of the Aboru-Ipaja link bridge built by Ambode and named after Tinubu to honour him on his 65th birthday.
In his speech that day, the APC National Leader showered encomium on Ambode and marvel at the way he was driving infrastructural development in Lagos.
