Fashola’s utterance exposed the hidden agenda of Chief Bola Tinubu who has widely been accused of supporting Buhari with the intention of taking power through the back door.
Governor Fashola made his remarks at the Lagos West senatorial campaign of the APC governorship candidate, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, which took place at Sky Power Play Ground, Ikeja. that:
“Today, at 52, I am counting the number of black hair on my head. Akinwunmi Ambode is the man that can do it. If you put an old man there, he cannot do it. If you call him in the night, he may not pick your calls,” he warned.
The controversial remark has prompted several campaign groups affiliated with the General Buhari campaign organization to embark on strategic meetings with the aim of controlling the damage caused by the statement as conversations on the APC Presidential and VP candidates age who are far older than Agbaje and with more daunting assignments, have been reawakened.
Sources from Buhari’s inner caucus says that that ill-fated statement from Fahola has confirmed the worrisome story that Tinubu and his colleagues never liked Gen Buhari but only wanted to play around his old age.
According to Fashola, the task of governing Lagos State requires age to be on the side of the candidate and vigour on the part of the person at the helm of affairs, recalling that in 2007 when he took over governance at age 44, he could count the number of grey hair on his head.
