Chief Bode George, a senior member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, recently spoke with the Nigerian Tribune on the roots of Lagos state.
He said that the present head of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is attempting to sow discord among Lagosians, is not from the state. The genuine Tinubu, according to George, is from Kogi state and grew up with him in Lagos. Tinubu was an educationist who established the first Muslim secondary school on Lagos Island on Olusi Street.
George went on to label the concept of preventing individuals from voting in Lagos state because of their population an unlawful. He stressed that genuine Lagosians are not intimidated by anyone in the state. According to George, the folks making noise and feeling frightened are Yorubas from the hinterland.
Chief Bode George’s interview sheds light on the beginnings of Lagos state and calls Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s claim to originate from Lagos into question. He also critiques the concept of banning individuals from voting based on their demographic and emphasizes the hospitable spirit of true Lagosians.
