Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has promised that his government will keep all the promises he made to the people of Lagos.
He revealed this in the early hours of Monday shortly after the official announcement of his re-election for a second term by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at Lagos House, Marina, Sanwo-Olu said his re-election for a second term has reaffirmed that the people of Lagos state have chosen competence and experience, on the march to true greatness.
”Lagosians, you did not just vote for Babajide Sanwo-Olu. You voted for a greater Lagos. I promise that together we shall achieve this. This is a promise that shall not be broken. A greater Lagos shall be ours.
”Let me boldly and proudly say that we are already well on the way to that greater Lagos, and we now have four more years to join hands to advance in ways that will pleasantly surprise even the most skeptical amongst us,” he said.
Still speaking, he said, ”I have worked very hard to live up to this responsibility of governing the most important subnational economy in all of Africa.
”We certainly could not have done this by ourselves. What we have achieved, both in the last four years and in the just-concluded election, could not have happened without a long list of supporters and partners.
”First and foremost, let me thank the Almighty God, to whom we owe our very breath, and who has spared our lives to see this day. I am also very grateful to all of you the good people of Lagos. Everyone, not just the people who voted for us, or those registered to vote.
”Lagos is what it is today because of each and every one of you, regardless of ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, gender, or age.
”We are a vibrant and thriving hub of commerce, finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, and culture because of the diversity that has come to define us, over the decades and the centuries. Thank you.”
