The Save Lagos Group, SLG, a non-governmental organisation, has described the 100 days celebration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as mere jamboree.
Carpeting the governor of the State, SLG, through its convener, Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman, said there was nothing to celebrate on Sanwo-Olu’s 100 days in office. It scored the administration low in terms of laying a solid and good foundation for infrastructural development of the State.
The group disclosed that the present administration in the State was more of cosmetics than real governance, tagging the celebration as just a mere political jamboree which was unnecessary, laughable, unacceptable and tantamounts to wastage of the meager resources of the State.
This was contained in a signed statement by Sulaiman, with copies made available to newsmen.
Sulaiman insisted that Governor Sanwo-Olu has nothing to celebrate than political propaganda.
Speaking further, Comrade Sulaiman stated that the State has witnessed landslide backwardness since assumption of office by Mr. Sanwo-Olu on May 29, 2019.
He maintained that Sanwo-Olu’s government has abandoned all the ongoing major infrastructural projects put in place by his predecessor, Akinwumi Ambode, in the length and breadth of the State and this action has made life unbearable for the good people of the State, now wallowing in abject poverty.
Sulaiman, who is also Executive Chairman, Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ), listed road projects in Ikorodu, Agege Pen-Cinema axis and other axis of the State, maintained that the groups had written many letters to the Lagos State government to draw its attention to these projects.
Sulaiman pegged Sanwo-Olu’s performance in 100 days at 15 percent, urging the governor to stop all the political jamborees and propaganda that has characterised his government, and hit the ground running for effective positive development.
“It is now clear that the immediate past governor of the State, Ambode, is far better than Sanwo-Olu in terms of providing good governance to the people of the State. The first 100 days of Ambode in office in 2015 recorded landmark achievements in the nooks and crannies of the State.
“Since the emergence of Sanwo-Olu, Lagosians have been wallowing in abject poverty due to loss of jobs in agencies of the State”.
