Ex-Lagos speaker Ikuforiji supports Sanwo-Olu for second-term, extols Tinubu’s leadership qualities

Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, says the current governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, deserves a second term having shown commitment to the development of all parts of the state and implemented people-centric programmes in his first term.

He urged all Lagosians to vote for him during Saturday’s governorship poll so he can complete his good works.

According to a statement on Tuesday,  Ikuforiji said this in Epe on Monday while speaking to members of the party, adding that Sanwo-Olu had proved in the last four years that he possessed the administrative capability to govern a complex state like Lagos.

Ikuforiji expressed confidence that the incumbent governor had done enough to retain the seat.

He said, “Sanwo-Olu has consistently focused on bringing governance closer to Lagosians. He has done enough in the last three and a half years to engender socio-economic development in Lagos. Lagosians can only appreciate what he has done by voting him in for a second term.

“We should focus on the numerous projects that he has successfully completed across the state.

“A good example is the Blue Rail project that he has been working on as well as the complete transformation of the health and agricultural sectors. Our schools in Lagos State have also been positively transformed by the governor. No part of the state has been left behind by Sanwo-Olu.

“So, I think by these achievements, it’s only appropriate for us to queue behind him so that he can continue his good work.”

The three-term former speaker also extended his congratulatory message to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his victory in the just concluded presidential election.

He said, “I would like to commend a visionary leader who has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities, inspiring others to work towards a common goal and drive meaningful change in their respective fields. Tinubu possesses a unique combination of creativity, intelligence and passion, making him a true force to be reckoned with.

“Asiwaju’s ability to envision a brighter future, even in the face of challenges and adversity, has earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and followers. His unwavering commitment to progressive ideals has helped him to overcome obstacles and achieve great success.

“Overall, this visionary leader is an inspiration to us all, and his contributions to the field of governance will undoubtedly have a lasting impact for years to come”.
