Title is hilarious but misleading. Evander Holyfield fights Bola Tinubu with Sole woyinka as referee? Or Bola Tinubu/Ambode hosts Evander Holyfield with Sola woyinka as chairman?

It's like watching Jay Jay Okocha vs Obasanjo in football. The fight would have been a bit more balanced if they had chosen a much younger and fit person like Fashola, or one of these our artistes always forming street thugs like Eedris Abdulkareem.

They should have put up Bash Ali for the exhibition fight. Maybe Evander Holyfield can help us knock some since into that mans skull.

Good initiative all the same. Lagos leads while others follows. Eko oni baje o.

This man is a blessing to Lagos.
Always forward looking, the Jagaban will forever be remembered as the architect of modern Lagos. For those who will accuse him of financial impropriety, I won't support criminality, but Tinubu has a lot of good things to his credit unlike Bukola Saraki, whose name has featured in every major fraud and is never associated with any good cause.
