Inexperienced people can’t govern Lagos –Tinubu

National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu yes­terday said inexperienced people could not govern La­gos State.

Speaking during the flag-off of the APC governorship cam­paign in Ikeja, Tinubu said the state could not be used for ex­periment and governed by inex­perienced people.

“We need an experienced person and good financial manager to manage Lagos State. Lagos State is not for experiment, so we cannot experiment in Lagos State,” he said.
Speaking on why Lagosians should vote for the APC gover­norship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, Tinubu said the APC governorship candidate was more experienced and credible than the peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship can­didate.
He, therefore, charged the people of Lagos State to vote for APC for continuity of good governance in the state, noting that it would be unfair to experi­ment with the state by voting for the PDP candidate.
“The PDP governorship can­didate was with us during the Alliance for Democracy (AD) days and he failed. He went to Afenifere and before Afenifere could cough, he failed. He came back to Action Congress (AC) and we accepted him. He want­ed to contest against Fashola but we told him to be patient be­cause Fashola is brilliant, more educated and knows the job. He contested and failed and we told him to be deputy governor to Fashola so that we can train him to know the job but he refused and joined the Democratic Peo­ples Alliance (DPA).
“He contested against Fasho­la again and we defeated him during the 2007 governorship election. We all know where we are coming from and we know where we are going. Ni­geria economy is in bad shape and therefore need an experi­ence financial manager as gov­ernor in Lagos State.”
In his address, Governor Raji Fashola also charged the elec­torate to troop out en masse to vote during next month’s elec­tion, saying: “Your right to vote is not a gift by any government; it is the right that you have as a citizen in any part of the world where democracy is practised. So, whether Independent Na­tional Electoral Commission (INEC) gives you PVC or TVC, you have rights to vote and no­body can stop you from voting. You should use your vote to send Jonathan away and vote for Ambode for continuity in Lagos.”
