Babajide Sanwo-Olu Babajide Sanwo-Olu

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday, reeled out reasons why he, alongside his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, deserved to return to the state government house in 2023 for a second term.

He made this known at the flag-off of his campaign, which was held at the Mobolaji Johnson Pavillon, Onikan, Lagos, with the theme, “Greater Lagos Rising”.

Sanwo-Olu, speaking during the rally, noted that the massive turnout by Lagosians was a confirmation of the strength of the ruling All Progressives Party in Lagos.

Speaking on the successes of his administration, the governor admitted that the last three and half years had been challenging for his administration, noting that his government traversed difficult terrains to deliver on its development objectives.

He said, “Our administration has traversed difficult terrains and witnessed major disruption occasioned by the global pandemic. Lagos had its fair share in the attendant socio-economic meltdown, but we provided strong leadership that protected the people and made the State come out better and stronger.

“Now, we can say ‘Greater Lagos Rising’ because our state is rising on all of our modest achievements through the THEMES agenda. In Transportation and Traffic Management, Lagosians are now living with the reality of the delivery of two intracity Rail Mass Transit projects that are on the verge of completion.”
