“What have you done in your own life, what is the pedigree, and what experience you are bringing to the table? What level of knowledge do you have that this job entails? What are your previous roles?
“A governor of the sixth largest economy can certainly not be a test run activity. You’re driving the largest black city in the world, it cannot be a test run. It is not driven by emotion. It is certainly will be driven by the people, who choose to have the capacity."
The governor aimed the shot at the 40-year-old Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes--Vivour, the youngest among the candidates vying for his seat.
He stated that at 40, he had achieved all his career goals in the banking sector before switching to the public sector, where he served as commissioner of economic planning.
Sanwo-Olu, as reported by Guardian, said:
“I have been treasurer in three banks. I moved into the public sector and by 40, I had done about four years in the public sector. I had become a commissioner of economic planning. I had been an adviser to a sitting governor at that time.”
Meanwhile, Governor Sanwo-Olu will face a colossal task to upstage his opponents due to the change in political tides witnessed during the presidential polls.
The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), which has never lost an election in Lagos state, fell to the Labour Party at the presidential polls, to the surprise of the whole nation.
However, the Labour Party and its governorship candidate, Rhodes-Vivour, hope to replicate the same feat it achieved at the presidential polls.
