Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the weekend described Lagos as a victim of its success, saying a lot of people are migrating to Lagos because there is security in the state.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who spoke at the first Comrade Yinka Odumakin lecture and book presentation held in Lagos in honour of the late human rights activist and national publicity secretary of the Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, who died last year, noted that his administration is committed to advancing its course in providing security for lives and property to keep Lagos safe, quality education among others.
He expressed his support for true federalism and said Lagos State government had done a lot of things legally to ensure true federalism in Nigeria.
The governor added that the state government would advance the course by instructing the attorney general and commissioner for Justice to do more.
Governor Sanwo-Olu who was represented by Lagos State commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, said Odumakin was being celebrated as a result of “his loyalty to a course that he believed in; loyalty to freedom, unity and everything that would make the common man have peace and enjoy everything that he is supposed to enjoy in Nigeria.”
He also expressed Lagos State government’s support for the Oluyinka Odumakin Foundation set up to immortalise the late national publicity secretary of Afenifere.
