The Lagos governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has responded to the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimi Agbaje, of being proud to be called a puppet of the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.
He said while reacting to the statement by Agbaje, where he described him as a puppet to Tinubu, adding that it showed that he had mastered the art and science of governance.
Sanwo-Olu, in a statement by his media team, said he understands what Agbaje is going through due to “imminent disgraceful defeat awaiting him at the March 2 poll, and consequent retirement from four years electoral cycle contest.”
“Sanwo-Olu described Agbaje’s recent vituperation, where he described him as a puppet to the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as a not only complimentary, but an affirmation of the notion that he is the most experienced for the job, having been properly schooled in the art and science of governance.
“He further reminded Mr Agbaje and his co-travellers in the journey of political ignominy of an incontrovertible fact that he (Mr Sanwo-Olu) has been part of the progressive social, economic and political trajectory of modern Lagos, which started with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and was passed on to the actualiser, Mr Babatunde Fashola, who in turn handed over to the incumbent governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, for consolidation.
“Mr Sanwo-Olu’s private and public experience is not what the likes of Jimi Agbaje could buy over a supermarket shelf, and would take them at least two decades of quality experience to place them on the same pedestal like him,” the statement said.
The statement criticizes Agbaje for promising to spend 50 per cent of the state’s budget on education, saying he is still a leaner neglecting other sector of the state.
