My dear people of Lagos,

Today marks 8 days to the elections and I am happy to share some thoughts as well as some highlights of our journey so far.

Our first 4 years have shown our capability and commitment to making Lagos a place that works for you.
Lagos has always been the heartbeat of Nigeria, but, of course, every good thing can always be better.

And we have proven beyond doubt that we are committed to making it the absolute best city for every Lagosian.
We have commissioned over 4,600 projects across health, education, infrastructure, security, welfare, and environment, with over 70% of them already in use.

As we countdown to D-Day, I will be sharing some of the landmark projects with you.
We have built an inclusive government that has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that Lagos is not only the Centre of Excellence, but is also Nigeria’s home for all, regardless of tribe.

Having laid the groundwork in the first term, our next 4 years are already geared…
… and primed for more excellence, with 5,300 even more ambitious projects and initiatives that will further transform our Lagos to your advantage.

It is a fact that success is a journey, not a destination. With your continued support and votes, Femi and I will deliver…
…to you many more remarkable feats on this next journey of success.

While I will be sharing some of the key highlights executed projects here, you can find inconvertible proof of LASG projects on sanwooluhamzat.org The facts speak for themselves.
So, even if you don’t believe what I say, believe in what you can see we’ve done.

Thank you, Lagos, for the first four. I am also thanking you in advance for an even far more excellent next four years.

#GreaterLagosRising

My fellow Lagosians,

I am passionate about the people of Lagos and I remain committed to creating a better future for all residents.

As we countdown to Saturday, lets look back on some of our work in the last four years and how they confirm that indeed a #GreaterLagosRising.
On education, we have made significant progress in Lagos by demonstrating our commitment to preserving the future of our children, that’s why in the steps of the great Pa Lateef Jakande, we turned our focus to our primary and secondary educational system.
We have upgraded 970 public schools and recruited over 1,000 school teachers in the process.

We also renovated and digitized 243 public school libraries. This guarantees quality education for our children regardless of the financial capabilities of their parents.

Dear Lagosians,

We have seen emotions arise across the country and in our melting pot, Lagos.

I acknowledge these feelings because this is the beauty of true democracy—we all have different views.

However, we accommodate those differing views thoughtfully and peacefully.
Lagos remains the greatest city in Nigeria and one of the largest economies in West Africa.

Despite sitting on only 1% of Nigeria’s landmass—a third of that being water—we house 10% of Nigeria’s population.
Together, we’ve always been able to overcome and thrive, not because of the challenges but despite them.

Together, we united to support and protect each other during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in doing so, we kept our citizens safe and our casualties low.

Fellow Lagosians,

This is necessary in view of the ongoing situation in the country, regarding the change of currency notes and the attendant hardships being faced by ordinary Lagosians.

First, let me thank you for your patience and unwavering perseverance.

Lagosians, this is a heartfelt call to you to please remain calm at this time, and avoid all forms of violence, arson and rioting.

Even in the face of the difficulties and frustrations being faced by all, violence and destruction should not and will never be the answer.

We have noticed the rampant incidents surrounding some of the players in the financial services value chain who have taken the current challenges to mean an opportunity to extort hard working Lagosians with extortionate charges on funds withdrawal and sale of PMS.

Dear Lagosians,

I hereby commend your patience and calmness, following the sad controversy generated by the Naira shortage crisis.

I would like to inform you that we have joined the dispute at the Supreme Court, which adjourned the hearing of the matter till Feb 22.
When the matter first came up on February 8, the apex court said the old notes remained legal tender.

That position has not changed. Therefore we hereby warn those rejecting old notes to desist from doing so or face prosecution. It is against the law to reject the old notes.
I plead with everyone to remain law-abiding, and shun mischief makers who may want to exploit this temporary situation to promote their anti-people agenda.

I am confident that the Judiciary will resolve all the issues around the currency shortage crisis.

Today, at a dialogue with the Organised Private Sector to unveil my comprehensive economic plan, I assured the Business Community of our commitment to sustain strategic investment in infrastructure to bolster productivity, energise business growth and protect private capital.
At the interactive session, I elaborated on our economic redistribution plans aimed at expanding the Lagos business district to suburbs in the Western and Eastern parts of the State.

Our economic blueprint captured in the six-pillar THEMES Agenda has been rolled out…
… and implemented to fix the immediate needs of our citizens and the business community.

The question we need to ask ourselves as we make vital decisions in the coming weeks is, what are the best alternatives we have? Nigeria cannot be on an experimental trajectory.

Lagos, today, it begins.

In a powerful show of support, our party leaders and members came out to join me in kicking off the journey to our second term which I have called a #GreaterLagosRising .

I am humbled but energized for the vision that was written and is now in motion.
My deputy @drobafemihamzat & I hold forth a report card of service to the people with proof that is beyond mere words, cutting across every sector in our #THEMES agenda as we promised to build #ForAGreaterLagos in our first term.

Now we say a Greater Lagos is Rising.
In our first term, we have shown commitment to rapid infrastructural development, the key to the next level of Lagos with completed strategic projects; bridges, roads, ports and many more, rebuilding Lagos and renewing the hope of our residents.

#GreaterLagosRising means more.
