Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged religious leaders, especially clerics and Christian leaders, to educate people on the importance of shunning electoral violence and other acts that are inimical to democracy.
He said: “Let me appreciate the leadership of the PFN for extending this invitation to me to address you today, and for your constant support and prayers for us in Lagos State. The successes that we are enjoying in Lagos today are in large part due to your prayers and intercession on our behalf, and your generous wisdom and counsel.
“I also call on you as clerics and Christian leaders to educate your people on the importance of shunning electoral violence and other acts that are inimical to democracy.” “As important as our work as nation-builders is, that is, from our various sectors and walks of life, we must always acknowledge the place of the Almighty God in bringing blessings and impact to that work. Otherwise, all of it will be in vain. The new dawn that awaits the nation of Nigeria will not happen by human labour or striving or wisdom alone.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who spoke passionately about his administration’s achievements in the last three and half years, said that the Greater Lagos he promised is on course.
