Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has solicited for the support of Eti-Osa residents in his mission to clinch victory in Saturday’s governorship election in Lagos 

In a memo issued by Mr Sanwo-Olu through his campaign team on Monday, the governor, who is seeking re-election in the gubernatorial race begged Eti-Osa residents in Lagos to join hands together so he can achieve his ambition to govern the state once more and transform the “fortunes of Lagos State on behalf of all its people.”

In the letter addressed to the residents, Mr Sanwo-Olu pleaded with the residents to vote him as the governor while he promised to serve them with “seriousness and diligence, and to continue the journey towards a Lagos that is the most dynamic and prosperous state in the country.”

“This is why I am extending an invitation to you, to support this all-important task of bettering our State, by voting for me, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu on March 11. I promise to continue to serve you with seriousness and diligence, and to continue the journey towards a Lagos that is the most dynamic and prosperous state in the country,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said. 

The governor reflected on his administration’s achievements in Eti-Osa local government in the last four years of governing Lagos. 

“There is so much that we have been able to accomplish over the last four years, and much more we can achieve over the next four, with your support,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said. 

“The first Phase of the Blue Line Rail has been completed, and the Red Line will equally be completed very soon.

“The Lekki-Epe Expressway is undergoing reconstruction from Ajah to Epe T-Junction: we have recently completed the section of it between Eleko Junction and Epe.”

He added, “Work is at an advanced phase on the new Lekki Regional Road that will serve as an alternative to the Lekki-Epe

“Expressway, connecting Freedom Way to VGC. We are investing in several new hospitals, upgrading our public schools, and empowering pupils and teachers with digital tools to improve teaching and learning outcomes.

“We have attracted billions of dollars into major infrastructure and manufacturing projects in our dear State, including the newly commissioned Lekki Deep Sea Port, which will create tens of thousands of jobs and uplift the economy of Lekki. We are pushing ahead with the construction of the 4th Mainland Bridge that will connect Lekki to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“Indeed, there are many more transformational projects and programs that space will not permit me to outline here, that will yield massive dividends for all of us in Lagos State in the years and decades ahead.

“I seek from you the opportunity to complete these laudable projects and programs, and many more, which you can make possible by re-electing me as Governor of Lagos State on March 11,2023.
