National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday commended Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for proving himself worthy of the confidence reposed in him to lead the state.
Tinubu praised the governor and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Kadiri Hamzat, for bringing the state back from the brink of crisis occasioned by the COVID-19 and EndSARS violence and for steadying the ship of the state.
Tinubu spoke at Pen Cinema, where he inaugurated the 1.4km long Pen-Cinema flyover bridge.
He was accompanied by Sanwo-Olu; Hamzat; the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Mudashiru Obasa; traditional rulers led by Oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwan Akiolu, represented by the white cap chiefs led by Chief Ajayi Bembe; lawmakers; members of the state executive council; local government chairmen of Agege and Role Agege LCDA, and a host of party chieftains led by the state chairman of APC, Tunde Balogun.
He said: “I thank all leaders of the APC for believing in us when we put these two men down for election. I told you that the two are sure bankers, and today, they have proved to us all that they are trustworthy.
“They have been moving the state forward. They have been actualising the dream of a prosperous and progressive state. I thank them.”
He urged the people of Agege and all Lagosians to make good use of the fly-over bridge, which he said had come to redefine and renew the Agege environs.
Declaring the project open, Governor Sanwo-Olu said when he assumed office on May 29, 2019, the project was less than 20 percent complete, adding that he was happy to be handing over a world class project barely 648 days in office.
He said the government would continue to work on transportation initiatives aimed at improving the travel experience of Lagosians.
