Former PDP National Chairman, Chief Bode George has come out to criticise the system and structure in Lagos state. Speaking to Arise Tv, the former army general said that the system was not working and needs to be looked into, he also criticised Alpha-Beta, the Company of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu.
He said the company is in charge of collecting the internally generated revenue in Lagos and grosses around 40-50 billion a month, taking 15% of that every 30 days, describing it as sacrilegious. He added that the money collected from the TollGate is enough to have since paid off the loan money for the Tollgate.

He also criticized the daughter of APC national Chairman, Folashade Tinubu who he said has no track record to be the Ìyál’ọ́jà of Lagos, a Yoruba word that literally translates to ‘Mother of the Market’, adding that she never had a single kiosk in Lagos and has no market experience.
He also criticized the son of the APC Leader who he said controls the whole signage of Lagos and described it as not justifiable and makes no sense. He also said the first shopping mall constructed by Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson has been turned to where Seyi Tinubu keeps his private horses.
