“The emergence of a truly dedicated and patriotic leadership, one that is capable of understanding the nitty-gritty of development as well as challenges of governing a modern state, has become imperative for Nigeria and Lagos State.
“These are the attributes which our leader and President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and Governor Sanwo-Olu, have in large measure," he said.
