The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday said he would run a government based on the wishes of the people if elected.
He made the pledge at Ikeja while speaking during a ‘Thank You’ visit to party members in the Lagos West senatorial zone.
The APC candidate said his policies and programmes would be based on the yearnings and aspirations of the people.
”I am in the governorship race because I want to serve the people.
”I promise, when we are elected by the Grace of God, I shall run a government based on the aspirations of the people.
”I will be a listening governor. I will attend to the needs of the people.
”I am here to serve and I will do my best to take the state to greater heights,” he said.
While appreciating party members for electing him as candidate in the just concluded primaries, Sanwo-Olu said he believed his choice was out of the confidence they had in him to address issues needing attention.
“I thank you for supporting me to get this far. I am very grateful and I will not disappoint you.
“But the task ahead is bigger; it is no more a party affair, but we are going to the general election.
“So, I want to appeal to you that we start our preparations right from now.
”We should reach out to everyone and carry out this project together.
“We should put the issues of primaries behind us and stay together.
”I know some people might feel bad that they could not realise one aspiration or the other, it is natural.
“But we need to put all of that behind us and bring everyone on the train to ensure victory in 2019.”
