Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced
his bid to seek the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019
Lagos governorship election.
Sanwo-Olu made his intention
known on Sunday while addressing his supporters at City Hall, Lagos.
The governorship aspirant says he
intends to make Lagos the “greatest, most vibrant city on the African
continent, taking its rightful place in the comity of states around the globe”.
He said: “I have a vision for a
Lagos with modern and affordable transport system, impeccable public health
facilities, world class educational institutions, where we succeed in educating
and skilling our youth, especially our children.
“A vision for a Lagos where our
children are educated and our youth are highly-skilled, healthy, free of
hunger, illiteracy, disease and destitution.
“There’s a lot of work to be done
to achieve the Lagos of our dream.”
Sanwo-Olu said he “will be a good
party man and run an inclusive government” while he also commended Babatunde
Fashola, former Lagos governor, for his efforts while leading the state.
The former banker is believed to
have the backing of Mandate Movement, a group loyal to Bola Tinubu, national
leader of the party.
In 2003, Sanwo-Olu served as
special adviser on corporate matters to Femi Pedro, former deputy governor of
Lagos.
He will contest against Akinwunmi
Ambode, Lagos governor, for the APC ticket.
