Mr Ayorinde also said that the same thing was said of former governor, Babatunde Fashola who was Tinubu’s direct successor.
“It is pointless entertaining a few misguided commentaries… talk is cheap. People will make comments anyway,” he said during an appearance on Frankly Speaking with Jola Sotubo.
“I don’t think you’ll describe as a stooge, somebody who has invested N4.8 billion in security… You won’t describe as a stooge the governor who says let us return to enforcement, let us have mobile courts in Lagos.

“You won’t call a stooge a governor who says that we will need to revisit the finances of the state… You won’t call a stooge somebody who says…“Why don’t we light up the entire Lagos State?”
“…If that sort of a person is a stooge, I would like to be a stooge like him so that I can do such great works and still be a stooge.
“I think we shouldn’t get caught up in the cheap descriptions of a few people who just enjoy distracting people. The governor is focused and he knows where he’s going…” he added.
Ayorinde was reacting to a question on the belief held by some that Ambode has the brains but not the brawn required to govern Lagos.
