Lagos – A former Lagos State Governor, Chief Bola Tinubu said on Wednesday that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) had no regrets giving Gov. Babatunde Fashola a second term ticket.
Tinubu, who lauded Fashola for his achievements in his first term, said the party was proud of him.
“The party has no regrets for endorsing him for a second tenure.
“The governor has been able to turn Lagos into a mega and very friendly city with the meagre resources available in the state,’’ he told a rally of ACN supporters at Onikan Stadium, Lagos.
Tinubu, who is the leader of the party, urged the people to vote en masse for the party’s candidates in the October 22 council polls.
“ACN chairmen and councilors will continue to replicate what had been done at the state level in the councils,’’ he said.
He called for a review of the nation’s revenue allocation formula in a bid to give more money to the councils and states for the development of the grassroots.
Also addressing the rally, Fashola promised more development in the state if ACN candidates were voted into power.
“If you want accelerated development in Lagos State to continue, then ACN is the party to vote for the council seats,’’ he said.
Fashola said his administration would give more assistance to the councils to boost development. (NAN)
