The Lagos State Governor-elect, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, today received his his certificate of return from Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), saying that better times are ahead for Lagos residents, with good things in the offing for them when he comes on board.
Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, were presented their certificates of return by INEC at the commission’s office in Sabo, Yaba.
“We are taking up this leadership and saying that the confidence that you have put in us will not be put to shame. We will not misuse the confidence that you have put in us. Good things are in the offing for all of us. We know that Lagosians truly deserve the best.”
The governor-elect called on his opponents that lost during the March 9 election to support him in making the state enviable, assuring them of his resolve to run an inclusive government.
“I want to extend congratulations to all the other 44 candidates that were not so successful, but I dare say that victory to one is victory to all.
“It is victory to all of us, it is a victory for the entire Lagosians. It is a call to order, it is a call that there is no victor no vanquished. All of us are on the same pedestal, that is, to make life a lot better for our people.
“That is why on the campaign train, we said we are going to run an inclusive government, we will bring about strategies that will take Lagos to greater heights.
“We are using this unique opportunity to open our doors; we don’t even have a door again, the doors are open for all our other colleagues in the other parties that we are one and the same,” he said.
He also tweeted about it on micro blogging social networking site saying:
