Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state governor, has described his
opponents in the 2023 governorship election as noisemakers.
Kicking off his re-election campaign on Wednesday at the
Ehingbeti Summit in Lagos, Sanwo-Olu said candidates of other political parties
know little about governance.
During the event, the governor also launched the Lagos State
Development Plan 2052, a 30-year plan to chart a growth path for the state.
Sanwo-Olu said he believes the people of Lagos state will do
the right thing in next year’s election by re-electing him.
He said: “Today is the day that INEC officially flagged off
campaigns for governorship and House of Assembly elections. And 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. Some
candidates would go about and make a lot of noise. 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. So, tell the noisemakers
that after the noise, there would be calm and Lagosians will truly understand
what we are talking about.
“For me, there can
never be any better campaign; there can never be any better conversation and
there can never be any better means of showing and showcasing what this
government has done for the past three and half years than what you all have
seen here in the last two days.
“I want to tell all Lagosians that it is as clear as day and
night. Of course, there are a lot of people on the bill. There are a lot of
noisemakers on the bill. There are a lot of other people that don’t even know
their right from the left on the bill.
“I know there are a lot of other people that are out and
shouting. Let them shout but after the shouting, there would be calmness
because indeed you Lagosians know the right thing to do. And you will do the
right thing by voting for us and re-elect us to continue with the great work
that we’re doing.”
