SDP deputy gov’ship candidate steps down for Sanwo-Olu’s re-election

The Lagos State Deputy Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Olori Animashaun  Abeni, has formally declared her support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-oOu’s re-election.

Abeni, who made the declaration at a media conference on Wednesday, in the Ikeja area of the state, explained that the decision arrived after a thorough analysis of all the governorship candidates including SDP.

According to her, “We reached the decision sequence to our thorough analysis of all the governorship candidates including our own, their antecedents, pedigree, experience, manifestos and broad acceptance across the state

“From the foregoing, there is no doubt that  Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Dr Quadri Hamzat combination stand head and shoulder above the rest.

“We cannot sacrifice the various landmark achievements of the present administration scattered all over the state on the altar of bitter politicking.

“The governor’s consistency as a progressive democrat is worthy of emulation by all budding politicians.

“We observed at a close range his energetic campaign through the nooks, corners and crannies of the state.

He has delivered on his social contract with the good people of Lagos through the famed THEMES mantra.”

Abeni noted that Sanwo-Olu literally saved the country from the scourge of Covid 19 through proactive measures that underscored his responsive and responsible attributes.

According to her, “Among others, massive road construction, investments in education, healthcare services, the environment, youth empowerment, tourism, public transportation, housing and science and technology need to be consolidated during his second term.

“It makes a whole lot of sense for Lagos  State to be in tune with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidency at a time like this to achieve our age-long desires and lofty aspirations.

“It is worthy of note that some of the circumstances that threw up a temporary Labour Party relevance are being addressed speedily. His message of  GREATER LAGOS RISING reverberated with all and sundry and we can safely conclude that we have in Sanwo-Olu a  governor who is resolutely committed to taking our state to greater heights in the years ahead.

“Lagos State is too important to be entrusted into the hands of ill-prepared, opportunistic and inexperienced political neophytes.

“A vote for  Sanwo-Olu will indeed be an endorsement for continuity and greater development.

“From the foregoing and many more, I, Olori Animashaun Morenike Abeni, wish to formally step down as the deputy governorship candidate of the SDP and declare my support for the ruling APC candidates.”

Abeni, therefore, urged all her supporters across Lagos to vote massively on Saturday, March 11, for Sanwo-Olu as governor and his deputy Hanzat “to continue on the path of taking the state to an enviable height.”
