Why Jakande and Tinubu didn’t get along
On
Ahmed Tinubu (L) and Lateef Jakande (R)
At the time he died last Thursday, Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, LKJ was undoubtedly the role model for good governance with legacies spread around Lagos.
So impactful was his touch on society that ahead of the 1983 election that those plotting to rig the election in some Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN controlled states knew better not to touch Lagos. That was essentially given the phenomenal imprints he had put on the ground in his first term.
The memory of LKJ and some of his colleagues in the Second Republic refreshes the ideological orientation of the political class of that era.
