The President of Pro-Nigeria Group, Lai Omotola has said the governorship seat of Lagos is not for jokers who knew nothing about governance and the cosmopolitan nature of the state.
Group promises Sanwo-Olu 15,000 votes
Omotola spoke at a news conference in Maryland, Lagos on Saturday on the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
He said there was the need to save Lagos from wicked conspiracy theories prepared to attack the giant strides development in the State.
“Since 1999 that we commenced our democratic journey, we have seen four governors elected to lead us. From Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Raji Fashola and Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and presently Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu. From one election cycle to another, aspiring to the seat of Governor has been competitive and in all occasions the progressives have always come out victories.
“In the recently concluded presidential election, the result did not turn out as expected and a careful study of the indices have shown mistakes on our part and those mistakes will be corrected,” he said.
He said since the governorship and house of assembly elections were coming, there had been concerted efforts by mischief makers to derail the development path of Lagos State, as they had provided minnows as alternative to progressive government.
“They are asking for a change of government not rooted in any genuine facts. For the avoidance of doubts under the leadership of Mr. Babajide Sanwwo-Olu, Lagos is working and is working very well. There is no state in Nigeria that can beat Lagos in all areas of developmental indices.
“This is Lagos where entrepreneurs thrive, where entertainment has been shot to the global level. This is Lagos with capacity to carry your dreams; no matter how big, there is space for every one. This is the London and Dubai of Nigeria, come and see the wonders of Lagos in our towers to iconic infrastructure. Lagos leads on all indices,” he said.
According to Omotola, the reason for this success was because the leadership had grown organically which meant every government had been an insider.
