Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu has told Rotimi Amaechi, a presidential hopeful, that the ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the “rallying point” of the state.
The governor spoke yesterday in Marina, Lagos, where he received the minister of transportation.
Amaechi and Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, are presidential hopefuls on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sanwo-Olu, who wished the minister well in his presidential ambition, noted that he was eminently qualified for the top job.
The Lagos governor, however, said he is a “direct beneficiary” of Tinubu’s leadership, and as such, the state will support him to become Nigeria’s next president.
“I have sheer regard and respect for our leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu. I have been a direct beneficiary of his leadership. I have been part of his exco,” he said.
