CITIZENS COMPASS – Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has promised Lagosians of another four eventful years saying his administration will not dissappoint them.
He made the promise during his inauguration and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat for second term in Office, at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, on Monday, May 29, 2023.
According to him, ” Four years ago on this day, I stood before you for the first time as Governor, to ask you to join me on the journey to a Greater Lagos.
” Four very eventful years have since passed, and here I am again, privileged beyond measure, to take a second and final oath of office as your Governor.
” Immense gratitude goes to the Almighty God, in whom we live and move and have our being. He alone deserves all the thanksgiving for sparing our lives to see this day, and for making it a joyful day, and a day to celebrate the gains of the last four years.
” Four years ago, we promised a better future for ourselves and our children. We did not think it would be easy, or effortless. In fact, we knew it would require a lot of hard work, and sacrifice, and innovative thinking.
” There were also many things we did not expect or anticipate. Nobody could have foreseen that just ahead of us lay the most disruptive and devastating global health challenge of our lifetime.
” Lagos!!! We will not let you down.
” I can assure you that our administration will continue to foster a culture of transparency, accountability and participatory governance.
” To my hardworking, dedicated, and loyal Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, who has been my friend and partner-in-progress for the last four years, I say Thank You!
” I equally acknowledge Mrs. Oluremi Hamzat who has been a dependable partner and pillar of strength to your dear Husband. Your invaluable contribution, grace and dedication are not lost on us.
” To my darling wife, the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being a sure source of support, strength, and inspiration.
‘Your commitment to the people of Lagos, especially our women and children, continues to inspire change and progress. Your selfless love and dedication have been my steady compass, guiding and uplifting me throughout this journey.’ ‘ He added.
