National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has congratulated the Lagos State governor-elect, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on his victory in Saturday’s election in the State.
Tinubu assured residents of the State that Sanwo-Olu would work for a greater Lagos, stressing that his victory was well deserved.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, the APC National Leader stated that the people voted for Sanwo-Olu in appreciation of the diligent services rendered by successive progressive administrations.
He urged Lagosians to ignore the campaign slogan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, who was advocating for freedom.
Tinubu said: “It is not about freedom fight, but about a thinker and doer and what APC can do in Lagos to develop further and make further progress.”
The party’s state chairman, Mr. Tunde Balogun, congratulated its members and Lagosians for reposing confidence in the party, assuring them that Sanwo-Olu will not disappoint them.
Balogun described last Saturday as a memorable day, hailing Lagosians for making a wise choice.
He said: “Today (Saturday), history is being made in Lagos as Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu becomes the governor-elect and his running mate, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, the deputy governor-elect of Lagos State.
“He will be sworn in on May 29 as the 15th governor of Lagos State. I pray all of us will be alive to witness the event.”
