Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu is basking in good times. The reason is: Lagosians are happy
at his work rate! The urbane looking governor has never looked back since being
sworn in last May 29. He has since gone ahead to build on the legacy of his
predecessor by tackling major problems confronting the State. The governor even
tackled pension delays, paid benefits to deceased workers families, and set the
tone for the sale of the Lake Rice to members of the public. Now the Lagos Blue
Line project is set to be completed in 2020 and become operational by 2021. “The
aim of this rail project is to reduce travel time through an effective and
efficient inter-model transport system”. He said this project was being done in
strict adherence to the State strategic transport master plan which prescribed
six rail line and one mono rail for the long term strategic goals of the State.
When our reporters visited the Streets one Rasaki Shittu said of Sanwo-Olu: “Our
governor is really performing; we are really happy for him”. Another fellow
called Ishiaka Moshood said: “That baba governor dey work fine fine; that’s exactly
what we like in him”. At Akpongbon in the heart of Lagos a shop owner, Raji Haruna
praised the governor for his tireless effort. “The man is really an achiever
and we praise him for this”, he said. Along College road in Ogba, Ijaiye, a
motor mechanic named Adeleke Mausbau hailed the governor delivering on his
promise. “What we want in democracy is to see provision of amenities and
utilities, not vain promises”, he said. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, our
investigations has revealed has not rocked the boat despite perceived rift
between the state legislators and the former governor of the state. He has
continued to build bridges across the divide, a strategy that is endearing him in
the hearts of Lagosians.
