Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have said that Nigeria will be better if the All Progressives Party presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu emerges as president in 2023.
The lawmaker, led by the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, said this during a Special Plenary organized to honour the former governor of the state on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

“We want to recognise his contributions to the development of our democracy, especially in Lagos. Today, we have reasons to celebrate him.”
Other lawmakers, who spoke about Tinubu’s achievements, described him as a promoter of peace, a great philosopher, a professional technocrat, a pathfinder of modern Lagos, a destiny helper, an economic Engineer, a total democrat and an accredited economist.
