Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has voted in the current presidential and national assembly elections.
At Unit 019, Lateef Jakande Avenue/Femi Okunnu in Ikoyi II, Sanwo-Olu cast his ballot.
The governor of Lagos State praised the high voting turnout.
His words were, “I’m happy that the voting is going on without any form of hinderance and intimidation. I want to confirm that it is live and fair here and I think there’s a fairly good turn out here.”
The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-olu, arrived with his campaign train for the governorship on Tuesday at Ikorodu, in the Lagos East senatorial district. He promised the electorate that if they returned him and his running mate, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, to office, more democratic benefits would follow.
Members of the State cabinet, members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), and representatives from various political support groups attended the campaign of the party’s candidates for seats in the district’s federal and state legislatures, which was also attended by a large number of their supporters.
The quality of projects and programs started by the governor’s administration, according to the Lagos East, which includes the provinces of Ikorodu, Kosofe, Somolu, and Epe, has positively changed the socioeconomic narrative in the area and improved the wellbeing of the populace. The governor displayed his administration’s scorecard in projects and promises fulfilled to residents there.
Sanwo-Olu entertained the crowd by listing the infrastructure projects in the Lagos East District that were ready to be put into service. He also revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari would visit the State in January to officially open the 32 metric tons of rice mill project that his administration had constructed in Imota.
He said: “Today, we have come to you to seek your mandate and support for another term. We are here with our hands full of fulfilled promises, which are already changing the socio-economic situation in this part of Lagos. After this campaign, we will be coming back to Ikorodu for the formal commissioning of Oba Sekumade Road and Ipakodo Road. The President will also be coming in January 2023 to inaugurate the Imota Rice Mill, which we have completed and has been in operation.
“Also in January, the first deep seaport we have initiated in the Lekki Free Trade Zone is due for inauguration. In the same free zone, we have the biggest refinery to be commissioned by Mr. President. The first phase of the six-lane Lekki-Epe Expressway from Eleko to T-Junction is getting ready for completion and will be formally opened. We have delivered a Mother and Child Centre in Epe, just as we opened a regional emergency centre in Epe. These are some of the projects cited in Lagos East and they are verifiable.”
The approval and location of an airport in Ibeju Lekki, according to Sanwo-Olu, was another “step ahead” in advancing his administration’s vision for Greater Lagos and maintaining the Lagos East’s economic progress.
The APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who came up with the concept that turned Epe Division into a new economic powerhouse, won credit for the formation of Lekki Free Zone, according to the governor.
The largest food and logistics park in West Africa has begun construction, according to Sanwo-Olu, near Ketu Ereyun, Epe.
He continued by saying that over the previous three years, his administration has given thousands of young farmers and agrobusiness owners more influence.
In road infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu has finished the first phase of Ijede Road, while development work is being completed on Ogombo Road. He claimed the network of roads built by his government in Soluyi community in Gbagada had not only enhanced mobility, but also life quality.
