The Minister of Science and Technology, Sen. Olorunnimbe Mamora has urged all residents of Lagos to re-elect the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for another term in the Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
The minister who is also the Chairman of the APC National Special Committee on Lagos State Governorship and House of Assembly Election appealed to residents to vote for all candidates of the party at the state assembly elections come Mar. 11.
Sen. Mamora who spoke at the inaugural meeting of the committee at the All Progressive Congress Lagos State Party Secretariat, Acme road, Ogba, Lagos State noted that Gov. Sanwo-Olu has in the past four years carved a niche of honour for himself as a dexterous administrator who has transformed the infrastructural and economic landscape of Lagos, as well as making it conducive for citizens from all over the country to live and carry out their activities without fear of molestation.
In a release on Wednesday by the head of media and publicity of the committee, Amb. Seyi Bamigbade he quoted Sen. Mamora as saying that re-electing Gov. Sanwo-Olu will keep Lagos on the track of accelerated development and harvest of more democratic dividends it’s currently recording in road construction, transport system renewal, harvest of young talents, massive empowerment of youths as well as boom in economic activities that has enhanced the people’s livelihood.
“Chairman of this National Special Committee, Distinguished Sen. Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora therefore appeals to all Lagosians to key into the aggressive urban renewal drive of the governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to make Lagos the envy of others.
“Eko is the nation’s gateway, highly cosmopolitan, economically and socially strategic and needs a trusted and tested hand like Sanwo-Olu who has in the last 16 years been a part of the development plan of the state.
“Little wonder he has built on the solid foundation laid by his predecessors, changing the Lagos narrative as a city that is not just one of the top five most economically viable in the world but as city where access to modern facilities, including decent health care, education, security, social amenities and indeed livelihood in general have been greatly enhanced”, he stated.
The special committee therefore called on all ethnic nationalities, groups and town unions in Lagos to go out in their large numbers on March 11 to vote for Gov. Sanwo-Olu for another fruitful term and all candidates of APC for state House of Assembly.
