Tinubu also narrated how Obasanjo opposed him when he built an independent power plant in Lagos as Governor, saying
“When Obasanjo came, we taught them that there was no other way to have
business evolution and revolution in this country without steady power
supply.
“I introduced independent generating power projects in Badagry.
“What did he do? He and Atiku opposed it. I
went to court. Who was my lawyer in court? Yemi Osinbajo. I won in
court and we started generating 300MW, the first state to do it.”
