Mr, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has on Tuesday sworn in chairmen for local government areas and local council development areas in the state.
Akosile quoted Sanwo-Olu as saying, “Today, we are witnessing the dawn of a new era in local government administration in Lagos State. A resounding statement has been made, once again, that Lagos is APC, and that the people of Lagos continue to regard our party as the most viable and most credible political choice for the most populous State and biggest subnational economy in the country.
“I congratulate the newly elected chairmen and vice-chairmen across all the LGAs and LCDAs. Your victory is an affirmation of trust in your competence, capacity and capability to discharge the responsibility of the Office you are stepping into. Being the closest tier of Government to the people, any gap or shortcoming in administration will be keenly felt by the people.
Sanwo-Olu also praised members of the APC Local Government Election Committee, led by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and the party executive members, led by state Chairman, Hon. Tunde Balogun, for delivering on the mandate entrusted to them. Commending the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission , led by Justice Ayotunde Philips , the Governor said the umpire had continued to live up to its responsibility and duties as enshrined in the law establishing it.
He said, “My commendation also goes to all our people, the civic-minded people of Lagos State, who conducted themselves peacefully and responsibly, before, during and after the elections. I want to particularly thank you all for keeping faith with our great party.”
