Lagos Commissioner Rejects Man Of The Year Award Nomination

Tokunbo Wahab, the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources has rejected his nomination as one of the nominees for Lagos State Man Of The Year Award.

My attention has been drawn to a publication by the Center For Policy Development And Political Studies in lieu of the Lagos State Man of the Year Award.

I am deeply appreciative of the nomination, it is such elite category to be in, considering the reputation of the other gentlemen I have been nominated alongside.

However, after careful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my nomination. Members of the public should not vote me in this award.

Again, I appreciate the gesture and the belief in the work that we do at the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources but I am stepping away from this nomination.

Thank you!

I guess he doesn't want to be in an unnecessary rivalry with his colleagues. That is a good one!

BTW:

Governor Sanwo-Olu (my man) has really disappointed me with his hosting of
a dinner for Professor Wole Soyinka, to celebrate his 90th birthday. I mean, this was someone who stood firmly against the oppression of the downtrodden/masses but suddenly lost his voice amidst economic hardship, all because his tribesman is in power.

Every head cannot be blunt. There are good heads amongst bad ones. We know what we're facing in Lagos. A lot needs to be done in re-constricting our drainage channels, most of which are either shallow or clogged. The popular Aboru channelisation project abandoned is still there. The recent lekki and oworo experience was a mess.

No sensible human would accept such a nomination when he truly knows its not deserving. He doesn't want to play to the gallery.

I expect backlash from the camp of bigots soon, calling him either a traitor or an omo ale.

Tokunbo seems to understand that if you live for the praises of men you will die by their criticisms. For someone with such a sensitive job as his, this is essential.

That is good for focus.

There is nothing to celebrate in the Nigeria polity and economy currently.

Every sane man need to get sober and focused, to stand a chance of being effective.

The backlash can only come from you Igbos, this one think n reason in Yoruba. He is not Chinedu or GRV.

Tokunbo Wahab 's interview on Arise TV endeared me more to him.

He knows the challenges, he knows the enormity of his brief and has taken it head-on.

His responses during the interview was subtly delivered all through the interview even with the usual Rufai Oseni tantrums.

He is a big fit for higher responsibilities in the future.

You' ve earned more respect from me Tokunbo.

Hope Igbos are learning humility in politics. He rejected nomination because his boss is also a nominee.

I can remember how Igbos were insulting Tinubu for bowing down while giving Baba Aminu Dantata an handshake.

With humility, Igbos will go far more than they currently are.
