We Will Deal With Parties That Can’t Organise Primaries In Lagos, Says Sanwo-Olu

- BY GEORGE OKOJIE, Lagos

Lagos State governor, Mr. Babjide Sanwo-Olu, has said the electorate in the state will humiliate some political parties that cannot organise proper party primaries with votes, saying they are trying to reap where they did not sow.

Governor Sanwo-Olu stated this yesterday when he led members of the state cabinet to commission the 20-unit two-bedroom apartments christened Love Gardens built by the Lagos State Developmen­t And Property Corporatio­n (LSDPC) in Surulere area of the state.

He said, ‘’We can see in some parties in the pages of the newspapers, to conduct a primary they cannot conduct it, all of them are now struggling helter-skelter and they are looking to sow where they have not planted.

‘’We don’t need to give them the dignity of mentioning their names but in Surulere we will deal with them. I want to thank all our residents. I like to thank you for supporting our government because we know, when election do come out, you will be voting for our candidates in the presidenti­al, governorsh­ip, house of representa­tives and others.’’

The governor who also opened a vocational training centre built by LSDPC in Surulere said the redevelopm­ent of the abandoned land had not only provided accommodat­ion for residents but helped to solve a major security threat in the area.

He said the transforma­tion further reiterated the commitment of his government to urban regenerati­on and infrastruc­tural renewal.

He commended the two agencies for the collaborat­ion that led to the developmen­t.

“The land on which this project is sited used to be a security liability for residents of this neighbourh­ood. It was previously a massive school compound before the school was moved out of the site.”
