“We’re in people’s faces. We’re doing our best in terms of health outreaches. We have a micro health insurance plan that we’re taking all across the state where people can get treatment of up to N6,000 for free. “So, with the level of suffering that Nigerians are dealing with, Lagosians are dealing with, we need to have accountability and transparency, and our government must be using our money in the most efficient way possible,” he added.BACKGROUNDIn March 2023, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Sanwo-Olu as the winner of the March 18 Lagos governorship election.
Rhodes-Vivour also said those who challenge President Bola Tinubu’s control in Lagos usually have their Yoruba identity taken away.“Firstly, anybody that questions the hegemony of Bola Ahmed Tinubu or the Action Congress of Nigeria always has their Yoruba identity questioned or taken from them,” he said.“I don’t believe he can epitomise the Yoruba people compared to the likes of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
