SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION<br />
NIGERIA 2023<br />
Chief Sunny Akinsanya Ajose (OON)<br />
What is your take on rumours of Asiwaju<br />
aspiring to be president in 2023?<br />
It is the expectation of the general populace that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will run for the 2023<br />
presidential elections. He has not even told anybody that he is coming out to run, but that is what the<br />
people want. People are flying that kite, unfortunately, some people are jittery about it, but you cannot<br />
throw away gold or diamond for just a raw iron. If the man is capable of pulling Nigeria out of its death<br />
root, then there is nothing stopping him. He is Nigerian. He has the qualification, he has the expertise,<br />
he has the knowledge and he is open to the people. There are so many qualities that the man has that<br />
the others don't have, so you cannot just adjudge him by trying to blackmail him that he cannot come<br />
out because that's exactly what people are trying to preempt, but I am sure when the time comes, we<br />
all will see what the population will say.<br />
This is the first time in Lagos State since 1999 that an incumbent governor did not get<br />
the support of the party in Lagos State. As the deputy chairman of the APC in Lagos<br />
State. Can you shed some light on this?<br />
You are right that this is the first time in<br />
twenty years that this kind of thing is<br />
happening, it is quite unfortunate that it<br />
happened that way but in our own case in<br />
APC, we take seriously, the affairs of the<br />
general populace and members of the party<br />
especially the down trodden ones. We had<br />
series of experience during the course of this<br />
administration, however, the idea of removing<br />
all the street sweepers from the road and then<br />
incapacitating the PSP operators gave the<br />
party leaders a lot of concern. As you can see,<br />
there is so much garbage in every nuke and<br />
cranny of the state which turned the state almost<br />
to a point where it was during the period of the<br />
military when Asiwaju came in before<br />
restructuring the pattern of how we evacuate<br />
refuse from all the homes.<br />
Deviating from that, gave us a bad image both<br />
locally and internationally and during that period,<br />
there was fear of Lassa fever because rats were<br />
beginning to have a place of abode in all the<br />
debris that are all over the state. So they brought<br />
in the vision scape. The concept vison scape<br />
