“It’s really just to thank all of our citizens in Lagos for their support, irrespective of what party affiliation you are, and to call everyone to join us once again, on our greater Lagos journey.
“We are transforming the state, the city we are building, structures and institutions that will outlive us, and we’re putting in place a governance structure that will improve the economy,” he said.
He said that already the political differences occasioned by the electoral exercises had been left behind for a greater interest of the entire state.
Similarly, the Progressive Governors Forum visited the President to solicit for more support to the states in order for the masses to further enjoy the dividends of democracy.
