Based on his antecedents, the new minister for power, housing and works, Babatunde Fashola will excel in his new position, his erstwhile boss and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) , Bola Tinubu has said.
He made this remark today at the launch of the Mile 12-Ikorodu road widening and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operation.
Tinubu who was governor of Lagos state between 1999-2007 recalled how he was antagonised over the choice of Fashola as his successor.
“You saw what happened when he was made minister yesterday. Lagos took the front seat. I am now a proud grandfather and I have no doubt he will succeed in that assignment. “Leadership is about how many people you are able to bring up, build up and develop. I have many of them who are extremely gifted and talented.”
