it was jubilation galore at the secretariat of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) located in Acme road ,Lagos when the former Lagos State Governor and Leader of the party for the first time endorsed the Incumbent , Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) to run for a second term.
Raising Fashola's hands, Tinubu said: “By the power reposed on me by ACN and in consultation with all party leaders I announce the endorsement of Babatunde Raji Fashola for reelection as governor in the forthcoming election.” I’ve endorsed him for second term. He has done us proud, he has set standard of governance for others to emulate.”
Party supporters who besieged the venue of the meeting shouted and jubilated at the announcement.
Tinubu scored the governor 85 percent on his performances in the past four years and reiterated Fashola remained the best man for the job of state governor.
He also debunked reports of frosty relationship between them.
He said: He is my son .Those that were peddling the rumour are those that did not know how I knew him. What endeared him to me. The agents of destruction, political rodents, enemies and scavengers in the corridors of power that wants to continue to loot state funds without working to deliver dividends of democracy. They said i was jealous of his achievements and all sort of things. If you have a son that has surpassed your records you celebrate him. I am the pathfinder. He is the Navigator. I am the one that identified the talent.”

He stated that the last four years the governor has been in power in the state has been very impactful, while assuring that a brighter and more rewarding future awaits Lagosians in the next four years the governor is expected to be in power in the state.
He urged Lagosians to come out en-masse to participate in the voters registration exercise billed to commence across the country very soon, saying the people can only elect their desired leaders when they register to vote.
