N3TRAL:
The EFCC allegation was orchestrated by Amaechi, the sore loser. Sim Fubara is as pure as sachet water.

Sim is competent and has a relatively good CV . However, I don't see that midas touch because he appears average at best. The ball is in his court to prove me wrong.

At least Rivers State will have their first introverted and quiet Governor.

Sanwo-Olu's CV is more inspiring. Sanwo Olu reached the pinnacle of his private career in Nigeria at Lead Merchants Bank in Nigeria . He was responsible for and in-charge of the foreign money market of the UBA. A mentee of Tony Elumelu who trusted him with that position- facts. He then proceeded to FCMB as an executive of the bank.

In public service, Sanwo-olu was the commissioner for budget and economic planning ( prepared the budget of a big state like Lagos- mediocres cannot handle that). He was the brain behind economic policies in Lagos before 2007.

He thereafter became the commissioner responsible for training, establishment and pensions. His job description here was to oversee the training of Lagos civil servants under specialized portfolios and also regulate payment of pensions to retired Lagos State workers. Ask me about a State in Nigeria that retired workers are not suffering and I'll show you Lagos.

Under Ambode, Sanwo-olu headed the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC). Put differently, the existence of well planned estates in Lagos State since 2015-2019 passed through his office. While he was handling that office, he also became the
Pioneer Board Chairman of Lagos Security Trust Fund. Sanwo-olu gave direct security report to the governor about security infrastructure and financing- that's his experience in security.

I wrap with saying that Sanwo-olu is also a graduate of the London Business school. This is not even detailed.

Now, list GRV's experience 😂.
