Just In : Sanwo-Olu Withdraws From Governorship Debate With Jandor, Gives Reasons
Governor Sanwo-Olu made this known in a statement titled: “Lagos will never condone violence,” copy of which was made available to newsmen by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso.The governor condemned the savagery, which he said had portrayed Lagos State, regarded as the safest in Nigeria, in a bad light, declaring that “we will henceforth shun any forum that may require us being together with PDP and its agents of violence.”
According to him, the decision followed advice from competent sources, including elders and respectable Lagosians, but quickly affirmed that he “holds Pastor Poju Oyemade and the Covenant Christian Church family in high esteem and cherishes future opportunities to engage the congregation and render accounts of his stewardship to them as integral parts of the Lagos electorate.”
“We will never be found in the company of those to whom the lives of innocent Lagosians mean nothing. Mr Sanwo-Olu won’t share a podium with them,” the statement said
