Lagos Guber Polls: Amid Labour Party’s Rising Profile, Sanwo-Olu Promises To Execute 5,300 Projects If Re-elected
Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised to execute 5,300 projects across health, education, infrastructure, security, welfare, and environment, if re-elected in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Sanwo-Olu will slug it out with the candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour; and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olajide Adediran at the polls on March 11.
The loss of the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi in Saturday’s presidential election in the state, has sent shocking waves in the camp of Sanwo-Olu.
Obi polled 582,454 votes to defeat Tinubu, who scored a total of 572,606 votes to come second. While the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso polled 75,750 votes and 8,442 votes, respectively to come third and fourth.
On Monday, leader of APC’s youth wing, Dayo Israel, had told supporters of the party and Sanwo-Olu, that there is work to be done ahead of the governorship election in the state.
Israel urged all party excos, councillors and leaders of youth groups in the state to embark on a door-to-door campaign to prevent Governor Sanwo-Olu from suffering Tinubu’s fate in the governorship election.
“Nobody should do “One million Man March” Oribu kan mo. Focus on door to door. Party excos, youth leaders, councillors, leaders, we have 10days to #SanwoAgain, go and engage your neighbours. #deliveryourstreet, be humble, get off your high horse. Ise wa o,” he said in a tweet.
