Egunjobi who made this announcement in Lagos during the official inauguration of Agege Pen-Cinema flyover said, “Tinubu is a skillful leader who seizes the apportunity to change things for better.”

He maintained that, “One cannot successfully lead another person until one can lead oneself, this is because a leader is not just a mentor he is also a model, Asiwaju is not just a leader but an ‘icon’ who has maintained this path of steady progress in the society in all ramification.”

He stressed that, the failure of a leader to inspire, motivate or bring out the best in others is a pointer to his failure to lead himself.

While the people of Agege and Orile-Agege, Ipaja praised Senator Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who laid the foundation of the developmental strides being recorded in Lagos at the moment.
