I won’t abandon Ambode’s projects, Sanwo-Olu vows

The governor-elect of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has vowed that his administration will continue with projects he would inherit from the outgoing administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Sanwo-Olu made the vow while addressing an induction workshop for members-elect of the Lagos State House of Assembly, led by the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, while seeking the support and cooperation of members-elect.

At the workshop, entitled “Responsive Representation and Quality Legislation as Prerequisites to Good Governance,” the governor-elect, while congratulating the Speaker, Obasa and other members-elect for their victory at the 2019 polls, said the fact that All Progressives Congress (APC) won all the 40 seats in the House confirmed people’s confidence in the ruling party.

Sanwo-Olu urged the members-elect to bring positive development that could improve the quality of lives of the people, promising that from day one of the next administration, Lagos residents would feel the impact of government.

On some of the uncompleted projects of the outgoing administration, the governor-elect said: “Government is a continuum. It means that we are taking over both asset and liability. It will be unfair to residents for us to abandon projects all because we did not conceive them.

“The strategy would be to quickly complete those projects and innovatively create our own. I am encouraged, to say the least, that I know we will be working together very well. We will continue to acknowledge and put in proper perspectives the responsibility that the state assembly has.

“It is a clear cut responsibility that the constitution has given to us. Yes, we have different responsibilities, but the overall objective of those responsibilities is to bring about good governance, quality governance and quality representation of the people.

“I am looking forward to engagements that will ensure that all the things we have promised our people, all the deliverables, all of us working together to make them come to bear very quickly.

“I will give my total support to the Assembly and anything required to enable you discharge your responsibilities fully without any fear and doubt.”
