Former Enugu Governor Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the most successful Governor amongst the class of 1999 – 2007 set.

Nnamani, who represents Enugu East, made this assertion while answering questions from reporters in Abuja.

He insisted that Governors from the class of 1999 which Tinubu was a prominent member may still be the nation’s top system builders and political reformers.

He noted that the class of 1999 Governors had it rough in the beginning because “most of us inherited States that had all of their sectors in poor conditions as a result of several years of military rule.

“All we had was pure joy in our electorate’s hearts because they had democratically elected governors.

“From health to education to the economy and security, Lagos state and many other states were in turmoil as a result of years of military rule but Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the most progress out of all of us in reforms of various sectors, with Enugu State coming in second.

“These large progress came as a result of assembling 23 best brains in Lagos state to examine each sector of Lagos economy and provide a workable solution to its unique challenges.”
