- By Halimah Olamide
Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has told a critic that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu did not appoint him into his present position as a poor man.
Wahab said it is an insult to his person to be accused of spending tax payer’s money to travel abroad to watch his soccer club play at the final. The commissioner had on Saturday night shared photos and videos of his presence to watch the Real Madrid- Dortmund FC final match on Saturday.
The critic who had come on X to subtly attack Wahab, had written, “Lagosians’ tax payers’ money is working.” To this comment, Wahab had responded, “I was a successful lawyer of over 3 decades before getting into public service.
“I have been a fan of Real Madrid FC for more than 30 years and I have been watching all their matches live at the stadium or live at home consistently for same period. I wasn’t poor neither am I poor. Get this poor mentality off your head. Enjoy your life when you can. All works and no play makes you dull!”
