CSO hails advisory body’s approval of Sanwo-Olu for second term

A Civil Society Organisation (CSO) has hailed the endorsement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term by the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the apex decision-making body of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A statement yesterday, signed by the Coordinator of the group, Mr. Rasaq Olokoba, stated that the GAC’s stamp on Sanwo-Olu’s second term bid was a testament to the group’s regular public pronouncements about the personality of the governor and the quality of service he is rendering.

He said: “We have maintained in our various communication that the present governor of Lagos State is a round peg in a round hole. It is impossible to satisfy everybody but you must be seen to be doing your best under any circumstance and that’s exactly what Governor Sanwo-Olu has been doing since he assumed office as the governor.”

Olokoba further stated that the GAC members must have been impressed by the sterling performance of Sanwo-Olu.

He said the governor’s infrastructural renewal, completion of abandoned projects and revamping of the health sector, as well as the educational sector, were visible achievements for every Lagosian to see, saying that this may have also added to the reasons the performing governor was allowed to continue his great work.

He added that the decision of the apex body of APC in Lagos would further restore confidence in the business community and corporate Lagos.
