According to the incumbent governor, the former governor was “a builder of our time, a man that laid the foundation of a Lagos that all of us are attempting and are trying to develop and put layers on”.
The visit by the Lagos government was one of such high profile respects to the former governor over the weekend. Others include visits by former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the House of Representatives.
