- Vows To Walk The Talk, Make Lagos Greater
Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday officially took over as the 6th democratically elected Governor and 15th Governor of Lagos State, promising to walk the talk and make the State even greater.
A statement from the Public Affairs, Governor’s Office by Olasukanmi Idowu Aceo, said Sanwo-Olu was sworn-in by the State’s Chief Judge, Honourable Justice Opeyemi Oke at exactly 11:32 am, shortly after his Deputy, Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat took the oath of office amidst cheers from the massive crowd at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Onikan.
Immediately after inspecting the Guard of Honour, the Governor delivered his inaugural speech, tagged ‘Awakening a Greater Lagos’, saying that the change of guard in the State marked the beginning of a new chapter in the journey to greatness and sought the support of the people of the State to take Lagos to greater heights.
“When we speak of a Greater Lagos, we speak not empty words. It is a deep and profound assertion we mean. We intend to make history by making for ourselves and our children a better future,” he said.
“Therefore, on this day, on this precious land we call our home, let us stand together in the very face of history. Let us vow to ourselves and to posterity that we shall not just dream of a Greater Lagos. Let us agree this day that we shall collectively rise up to build the Lagos of our dreams,” he added.
