The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress(APC), has said that residents of the former federal capital city made
the right decision by voting Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu as governor.
The party spoke through Chief Sunny Ajose, its Deputy
Chairman, at an ”Appreciation Dinner” held on Saturday night, to thank the
residents for voting Sanwo-Olu and his running mate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
The dinner was organised by some chieftains of the party
including Mr Hakeem Fahm and Mr Dele Alake, a former Commissioner of
Information and Strategy in the state.
Ajose described the duo as technocrats with great leadership
experience, saying that they would serve the state meritoriously.
”We thank Lagos residents for voting Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat
and we want to assure the people that they will fulfil their promises and meet
expectations.
”Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat are tested and trusted leaders. Now
that they have been given the mandate to pilot the affairs of the state, they
will drive responsibly,” he said.
Ajose commended party members for their contributions to the
success of the APC, and urged them to support the leaders so as to get the best
from them.
In his remarks, Chief Pius Akinfulire, a former chairman of
the party in the state congratulated Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat on their electoral victory,
saying that their overwhelming success reflected the confidence voters had in
them.
Akinfulire particularly thanked Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a
leader of the party, for his efforts toward ensuring victory for the party in
both the presidential and the governorship elections.
He described Tinubu as “a great political strategist and a
visionary leader”, saying that his foresight had helped to entrench effective
governance in the state.
The party chief expressed confidence that Sanwo-Olu and
Hamzat would meet the expectations of the people, and appealed to Lagos
residents to support the incoming administration to enable it meet set goals.
Mrs. Yetunde Arobieke, another APC leader in the state, said
that the duo of Sanwoolu and Hamzat had the experience to move Lagos State to
the next level.
Prominent personalities at the dinner included Oba Rilwan
Akiolu of Lagos, a former Commissioner of Finance, Mr Wale Edun, and a former
Commissioner of Commerce and Industry, Mr Seye Oladejo.
However, both Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat were not at the occasion.
