The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed that he his aspiration was to be appointed chief of staff but “God has turned the table around”, promising to “carry everyone along” if elected.

The Cable reports that Sanwo-Olu made the pledge at a special prayer session organised by the Nasrul-Lahil-il-Fath Society (NASFAT) at its headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja.

The governorship candidate said his priority would be infrastructure development.

His words: “I will carry everyone along as a governor. In the NASFAT’s prayer for me, they advised me to choose good adviser and be a listening governor.

“Four years ago, my deputy wanted to be the governor and I was aspiring to be the chief of staff but now God has turned the table around.

“I will concentrate more, if elected the governor, on expansion of roads, building bridges and traffic control.”

Sanwo-Olu also said he would give education the desired attention if elected.

“We will also be looking at the area of empowering the youth. The private sector is the engine of growth and development; so opportunities will be given to private sector by ensuring easy way of doing businesses in Lagos,’’ he said.

The deputy governorship candidate, Obafemi Hamzat, urged religious leaders to place a premium on the well-being of every Nigerian citizen, saying that government cannot do it alone.

“We have more religious houses in Lagos state than schools. Why are the religious organisations not making an impact?

“Religious houses have a duty to make life more meaningful and abundant to the citizens,’’ he said.

Sanwo-Olu said bad leadership is the cause of the ongoing brain drain in the country.

“It’s a shame our youths are seeking greener pastures outside the country. In spite of our human and natural resources we are still poor due to bad leadership,’’ he said.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
