Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State declared the launch of his campaign for a second term in office in the 2023 elections on Wednesday.
Sanwo-Olu announced the conclusion of the ninth edition of the Ehingbeti Lagos Economic Summit on Victoria Island, where he outlined his accomplishments and goals for Lagos State.
He claimed to be the best governorship candidate in the state based on his administration's track record over the previous three and a half years with the THEMES development program for Greater Lagos.
Those running against him in the March 11, 2023, gubernatorial election in Lagos State, he claims, have yet to equal his administration's achievements.
The governor, while speaking on the 2023 governorship elections in Lagos State was optimistic that Lagos State residents would do the right thing by re-electing him.
”Today is the day that INEC did officially flagged off campaigns for governorship and House of Assembly elections.
”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.
”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.
”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 in which we want to continue. Lagosians will truly understand what we are talking about,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu said that there could never be any better campaign; any better conversation; any better means of showcasing what the government had done 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 said.
