The Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, Daniel Bwala, has stated that Lagos State is ‘no man’s land’.
Naijaonpoint reports that the presidential aide made the statement during an interview on Arise Television, while speaking on the infrastructural development of the state.
Bwala stated that the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos State contributed to the defeat of President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, many wealthy Nigerian businessmen have their businesses in Lagos State.
He said, “The reason why Lagos is a no man’s land. In the last election, President Tinubu did not win Lagos due to the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos State. Secondly, the Richest man in Africa is a Northerner; his business is not in Kano but in Lagos. Every rich man in Nigeria has their business undertakings in Lagos, and Nigerian people are represented fully in the state.
“You go to Lagos, if not for the fact that the majority of the people speak Yoruba, you will wonder if Lagos is a Southwest state. London has more investment than the entire state in England. In every country, wherever you find the commercial nerve , you are likely to put more infrastructure in the state in order to boast the economy of that country.”
