SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION
want to lobby me to become something that you are not or cannot even mange. These are
things that I believe. He should manage his own Kaduna that he has he turned into a war
zone rather than coming to Lagos to tell us what we are doing. We can't even put Lagos
state on the same pedestal with Kaduna. Is he telling me that Lagos state is far behind
Kaduna or they are still coming here to learn what we do? I'm very certain that we are not
complaining. If it is godfatherism, we love it ate lest it's a progressive godfatherism and we
love that so we are okay by what we are having.
What should Lagos expect from
Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Administration ?
Under the administration of Babajide Olusola
Sanwo-Olu, I am almost certain that we are
going to move at a very fast pace, and I know
that is what he is determined to do. Although
the magnitude of the financial position of the
state will have to be properly determined.
Nobody knows the financial status of the state
at the moment, not until the final take over.
Then you begin to see or examine the volume of
debt that has been owed to contractors, stages
of things that are happening within the
ministerial structure, and the needs that we
actually need to improve upon. All those
aspects have to be looked into. Determine the
volume of the finance base that we have, before
you can now project how you're going to do or
tackle projects. We all know that Lagosians are
very very restless, they will be expecting a
miracle to happen overnight so we must also
challenge ourselves to meet the needs of the
people so that they don't feel disappointed and
I'm sure they will never be .
I want to wish the incoming governor a very
successful tenure and I want to suggest that
he should listen to advise and not allow
people that will surround him to mislead
him into something that will damage the
image of his government.
