In an interview with Channels TV, George stated that Lagos State, despite being the largest in terms of population, has only 20 LGAs and in contrast, Kano, which is the next most populous state, has 44 LGAs.

He suggested that Lagos, with its larger population, should have a more proportionate number of LGAs to ensure a fair distribution of resources.
