Hakeem Muri-Okunola, head of service of Lagos, says he does
not have any plan to replace Babajide Sanwo-Olu as governor of the state.
The top Lagos official was reacting to reports alleging that
he is interested in the state’s governorship election in 2023.
In a statement on Sunday, Muri-Okunola said he supports
Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s plan to develop good policies and
infrastructure in Lagos.
The head of service said those behind the publications are
working to “plant a seed of discord between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and
me”.
“My attention has
been drawn to several publications linking me with a fictitious race for Lagos
State Governor and plots to stop Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term
bid,” Muri-Okunola said.
“I hereby dissociate myself from all publications and
innuendoes conveying such plots. I reiterate my support for Governor Babajide
Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda – the six-pillar development
plan that is the compass for his projects and policies.
“Contrary to the statements being published by mischief
makers, who are also trying to play the religion card, I am fully focused on
carrying out my duties as head of service of the Lagos state government and
taking the Public Service to greater heights.”
