Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has come out to say that the late Lateef Jakande’s name is synonymous with selflessness in leadership and service.

Sanwo-Olu recently revealed this during the eighth day Fidau Prayer for Jakande at his Ilupeju residence.

According to him, the legacy bequeathed by Jakande in public service would remain a reference point in the annals of governance in Nigeria.

He added that the first civilian governor definitely earned a place of pride within the coven of the nation’s political class before leaving this world.

His words, ”The name of the former governor will continue to be synonymous with selflessness in leadership and service,”

”Baba Jakande came into public service with sole determination to serve and leave good legacy for us. He only governed for four years and three months, but his marks and records are still visible almost 40 years after.”

”What he did for Lagos and Nigeria are beyond what his family can bear alone.”

”He was an enigma of our time and a national icon, whose leadership in public service remains a reference point.”

”This is a time for all of us in position of leadership today to reflect on how our administration, our policies and programmes have impacted lives of the people.”
