A group of youth pushing for gender parity and positive political change in Lagos State operating under the aegis of The Transformation Ambassadors (TTA) has endorsed the second term bid of the state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The group, at a stakeholders meeting in Ojo said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has justified the mandate Lagosians gave him in the last general election and deserves re-election.
TTA who also endorsed the Lagos West Senatorial aspiration of the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Idiat Oluranti Adebule, equally declared its support for the presidential aspiration of the national leader of the All Progressives congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying, Tinubu’s presidency is what the country deserves at this critical stage to overcome its challenges.
A House of Representatives aspirant and convener of the group, Comrade Olufemi Omojuwa, said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu deserves to be Nigeria’s president for his transformation of the fortune and face of Lagos state, an achievement successive administrations in the state has built upon.
Speaking on the choice of his group, Omojuwa disclosed that Lagos West deserves better representation, and this, according to him, can best be given by the former Deputy Governor.
While clamouring for gender balancing in elective positions in the district, he revealed that Lagos West Senatorial seat has been largely dominated by male representatives.
He disclosed that Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon represented Lagos West at the Senate from 2011 to 2015 while he was succeeded by another male politician, Senator Adeola Solomon aka Yayi from 2015 till date.
While pushing for a female aspirant, Omojuwa said, “a former Deputy Governor in Lagos State and member of the Apex Advisory Body in the state, Governance Advisory Council (GAC), Dr Idiat Adebule is the best of all the aspirant gunning for the Lagos West Senatorial seat.
‘’She is reputed for raising the standard of living of residents in the state. She has shown an unparalleled commitment to good governance and growth and development of the state in her capacity as secretary to the state government under Governor Babatunde Fashola and later as deputy governor of Lagos State.
