UPDATE: I’m not for anti-Sanwo-Olu plot - Muri-Okunola

My attention has been drawn to several publications linking me with a fictitious race for Lagos State Governor and plots to stop Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term bid.
I hereby dissociate myself from all publications and innuendoes conveying such plots. I reiterate my support for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his administration’s THEMES Agenda - the six-pillar development plan that is the compass for his projects and policies.
The objective of those behind these publications is obviously to plant a seed of discord between Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and me.
