Our very reliable source told us that, He (Tandoh) said since the governor did not come no body can come and says he is representing him, not only did he refuse to acknowledge the governor representative but also insisted that Distinguish Senator, Opeyemi Bamidele can not be allowed to be part of those to present awards to the Table-Tennis players because he is not from Lagos.
