Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured the residents of the state that his second term administration will be better than the first tenure.
Sanwo-Olu said the rising prosperity of Lagos is on course, pledging that his administration is committed to the safety, security, and prosperity of the residents.
The governor said this during a special Eid-el-Fitr celebration in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Monday, April 24.
Sanwo-Olu congratulated the Muslim faithful for completing the Ramadan fasting and for using the occasion to pray fervently for Nigeria, Lagos State, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, among others.
He also commended the people of Lagos State for their steadfastness in the 2023 general election, which he said allowed him to be re-elected to run the affairs of Lagos State for another four years.
Sanwo-Olu said: “I want to enjoin all of us to continue to remain steadfast and continue to know that even as we end our first tenure and we are beginning our second tenure, the rising prosperity of Lagos is on course.

“This government will ensure that the Greater Lagos agenda, which will improve the quality of life and make life a lot more meaningful for every one of you, is what we are about.
“We believe that the additional four years will be easier, bigger, stronger, and better than the last four years.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu further assured Nigerians that Tinubu, who is expected to be sworn into office on May 29, has the capacity to chart a new course for Nigeria.
“We will continue to remember him (Tinubu) in our prayers. God will strengthen him. God will be with him and abide with him.
“God will help him be able to deliver all the good things he has in stock for this country because indeed we need to chart a new course.
“We need to chart a new beginning for our country and it is at this critical time that we are having a change in government; from one government to another; that new chart is most important. And we believe that with our President-elect, we have the faith and belief that he is a man that can do it and God will give him the strength and intellect to take this country to the next level,” he added.
Also speaking, the deputy governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, urged Nigerians to continuously pray for their leaders, especially Tinubu for a successful tenure after his inauguration on May 29.
He also enjoined Muslims to train their children in Godly way.
On her part, the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, urged the Muslims to sustain the principle of the teachings of the month of Ramadan by being truthful, peaceful, kind, compassionate, and living peacefully for continued cordial relationships among all, irrespective of ethnic and religious affiliation.
The First Lady also appreciated Lagosians for their massive support and vote of confidence reposed in Governor Sanwo-Olu and his deputy by re-electing them for a second term in office.
