2019: I’m prepared to run all-inclusive, participatory govt, says Sanwoolu

GOVERNORSHIP aspirant on the platform of Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu, on Friday promised to run an all-inclusive and participatory government if elected as next governor of the state, asserting that he would not be governor of Lagos Island or Lagos Central but the governor of entire Lagos.

Sanwoolu, who would be contesting the party primaries against the incumbent, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, and another aspirant, Dr Femi Hamsat, who is former commissioner for works, said this at Ikeja while fielding questions from journalists preparatory to the former declaration of ambition on Sunday at Ikeja Police College.

The governorship aspirant, who is considered to enjoy the full backing of the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while acknowledging that running a good government would bring its own challenges, said he was fully prepared.

“To say that it would not be challenging to run a good government is not true, but I am prepared, we are going to roll our sleeves,” the APC chieftain said, assuring that he would put together a team that would make government more participatory.

This was just as he said the failure of leadership is not occasioned by it’s not listening but in not taking action, adding, “They say leadership fails because people don’t listen, but leadership fails because it fails to take action.”
