Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu

The Lagos State Government has dismissed reports claiming that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been asked to resign on health grounds. The denial was contained in a statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile.

Describing the story as false and misleading, the Lagos State Government urged the public to disregard the report and treat it as fake news.

Gbenga maintained that Governor Sanwo-Olu remains fully engaged in the affairs of the state and continues to carry out his responsibilities seamlessly.

It read, “We have noted with concern a false report by … alleging that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been ‘ordered to resign on health grounds’ with the Deputy Governor set to take over.

This report is false in its entirety. Nobody has asked the Lagos Governor to resign, this is another fake news, which has become a pattern of …..

Governor Sanwo-Olu remains in good health, of sound mind, and is actively discharging his duties as Governor of Lagos State.

Earlier today, the Governor received Deputy Governor Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, who paid him a courtesy visit to formally notify him of his intention to contest for Governor.

The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere, as is customary.”

WOW.
