That is why we are stating categorically and in my capacity as the President of the Yoruba Council Worldwide that on behalf of Yoruba globally and with the support of all our traditional rulers in Lagos State Sanwo -Olu should be returned for a second term.
” We plead with all Lagosians to come out en-masse and vote for the governor on Saturday. Whoever that feels offended should for the sake of democracy forgive the governor and let all of us rally round him“.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is a man of exceptional dynamism, a listener, and a good crisis manager. The steady and self-assured way he has been piloting the affairs of Lagos State cutting across every sector with characteristic skills and sobriety is commendable. His great exploits in the areas of infrastructure , development, youth empowerment, education, health, direct foreign investment, and transportation (rail and land transportation) among others are enormous”, he said.

He said his movement into the APC is to Mobilise for the success of Sanwo -Olu on the coming governorship election.
