Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker, House of Representatives, has endorsed Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for a second term in office, come 2023, pointing that the governor’s performance in the last two years had surpassed expectations.
This was just as the Speaker representing Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in the green chamber of the National Assembly dismissed his rumored ambition to contest for the Lagos’ governorship seat in 2023, saying he had “no immediate plan” to contest the seat as the task before him as Number 4 citizen in the country was enormous and tough enough for him to be distracted by the rumor.
Gbajabiamila threw this support on Tuesday in an interview aired on Channels TV, saying Sanwo-Olu had been doing a good job in governing Lagos, notwithstanding the difficult times he had faced in the last two years, stressing that he must not be distracted on the assignment.
Besides, the lawmaker clarified that the fact that the state once had a one-term governor at one time, in person of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, doesn’t mean it is going to be the same forever.
Ambode was the immediate past governor, who handed over to the incumbent, Mr Sanwo-Olu, on May 29, 2019.
“The present governor of Lagos State (Sanwo-Olu) is doing a good job. The fact that we had a one-term Governor at one time doesn’t mean it is going to be the same forever.
