Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday announced the commencement of his campaign for a second term, declaring that Lagos has witnessed prosperity under his watch.

“Some people can come here to claim anything. They don’t even know what governance is all about. We have done a lot, and people can feel it. People know this is a government that works for them,” said Mr Sanwo-Olu. “It is not about us; it is really to create that enabling environment for them (the citizens) to do well. Lagos state has witnessed prosperity in the last three and half years, even in the COVID environment, and that is the trajectory we want to continue. Lagosians will truly understand what we are talking about.”

The Lagos governor stated this at the closing of the ninth edition of the Ehingbeti Lagos Economic Summit at Victoria Island as he rolled out his achievements and plans for the state.

He claimed to be the best among the Lagos governorship candidates based on his administration’s track records in the last three and half years.

“Today is the day that INEC did officially flag off campaigns for governorship and house of assembly elections,” the governor added. “There is no better time for me to do my official flag-off than at an economic summit like this, where we are talking about our city, our people and Greater Lagos. What we are talking about is real; people can feel, and they can see it.”

Mr Sanwo-Olu said there could never be a better campaign or means of showcasing what his administration had achieved in the past three and half years than what had been done in the Ehingbeti Summit.

“I want to tell all Lagosians that it is as clear as day and night,” he stated.
