Satisfy Lagosians, Not Godfathers, SDP Candidate Tells Sanwo-Olu

Adetokunbo Pearse, Lagos Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2019 General Elections, on Wednesday advised the state new Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to satisfy the people and not godfathers.

Pearse, a university lecturer, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen.

He spoke after the inauguration of Sanwo-Olu as the 15th Governor of Lagos State in Ikeja.

Pearse noted that Sanwo-Olu won the March 9 gubernatorial election through popular votes, and advised that Lagos residents should be at the centre of his administration’s policies and programmes.

“I will advise him (Sanwo-Olu) to realise that it was the people of Lagos who voted for him and not godfathers.

“Democracy has to do with the people, so the new governor should do everything possible to meet the needs of the people and not to satisfy any godfather or any group or any individuals.

“He should realise that we are a deficit in education, infrastructure and deficit in housing. Road congestion is still perennial,” he said.

According to him, without a permanent solution to gridlock in the state, its economy cannot grow to fullness.

Pearse urged Sanwo-Olu to review sources of internally generated revenue of the state and block all wastages in order to expedite infrastructure development.
