Because he produced many leaders. Our leader, Ahmadu Bello, was a godfather because he produced leaders. Even Nnamdi Azikwe, was a godfather because he also sired leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, therefore, why should Tinubu\u2019s own be given a negative connotation because of those that are lazy, indolent, lethargic and that cannot work assiduously and attain a political height through which they could also develop other leaders to become positive godfathers. There is nothing inherently wrong in being a godfather as long as publicly spirited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Alake also justified the decision of the political machinery in the state to deny former Governor Akinwumi Ambode a second term.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ambode, who was Lagos State governor between 2015 and 2019, fell out with Mr Tinubu and was defeated at the primaries by Babajide Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Alake, the former governor was denied a second tenure because he derailed from the established developmental blueprint of the state.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the record of Mr Tinubu in the healthcare sector and his history of foreign medical tourism, Mr Alake said his principal does patronise local hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said in the event of tertiary healthcare, a nation may not have it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget that we don\u2019t have it all. Governance is a continuous work in progress. No society in the world has gotten it in all areas at a par. Every day, I have seen him taking medication\u2014taking advice from his local doctors. He visits the local hospitals whenever he is indisposed to be serviced like any of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, there is what we call tertiary medical services. At that level, you cannot have all the latest medical technological development at the same time in your environment. If you are ill and you don\u2019t have the technology, should you die?<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tinubu\u2019s health has been a subject of debate, particularly on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Mr Tinubu spent three months in the UK after a knee surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, is a godfather like Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello, a spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Alake, has said.
