Honorable Umar Farouk Arisekola, a former commissioner for youths and sports in Oyo State, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s transformation of Lagos is to blame for the current state of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Arisekola claimed to have witnessed Tinubu’s overnight transformation of Lagos into Las Vegas in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday. He continued by saying that many people had moved to Lagos at that time from their home states. He claimed that to be the cause of Lagos’s current high population density.
He continued by saying that Nigeria has hope if Lagos can be converted into what it is now.
Arisekola said this when he was asked what he has to say about the future of Nigeria under the APC government. He said that it is not about the party, but it is about the leadership of the party. He said that it is people and not the party that write the blueprints for the country. He said that all that APC is today came because of the influence of President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “What made APC what it is even before its Action Congress (AC) to Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) was what President Tinubu turned Lagos to be. Lagos changed overnight, becoming like Las Vegas. I witnessed that transformation, and a lot of people left their states for Lagos then. That’s why the state is congested. If Lagos can become this, that means there is hope for Nigeria.”
